lyrics

We hop off of the train to Euro restroom charges again. We’ve reached new ground with a lack of direction and 3G down. We retrieve our address and are told which way to go, but water taxis are crowded and slow. As we inch through flooded streets we see a sea of unending people. We see no room for us. Down narrow streets like cattle chutes, we walk in line to find our bed, then check in and get ready to do it again, but to our surprise the labyrinth walls now look down on no-one; a loss of life brings its breath back. Pastel stones standing strong in canals. Islands of alleyways bound by bridges. Beauty astounding. Intriguing surroundings. We see the night fall down. We see the lights reflecting on what should be ground. We share wine and talk while violins walk by, spend the night walking patterns in the dark; we can’t walk to far.
