Tending Lyrics

Cars are honking

The drunk

Crossing the street

Is wondering

How much money I have

A boy with a blinding jacket

yells Francita

And I see she's fury

Turning towards him

Her black hair a switch

Down her back

I want to remember how it was

To feel a kite pulling

Without doubting the wind

How good it was to stroll by

Marigolds in the park

To walk further

For a love of boulders

And not hear a hard voice

And not look through trees

For an exit

Not think

Wrong shoes

But run

This afternoon I open

My paper bag on a bench

And there it is

The shape of a plum

I must take my time

With it

Its darkest purple

Shines and sustains

I want to remember how it was

To feel a kite pulling

Without doubting the wind

How good it was to stroll by

Marigolds in the park

To walk further

For a love of boulders

And not hear a hard voice

And not look through trees

For an exit

Not think

Wrong shoes

But run

La la la

La la la

La la la

La la la

I want to remember how it was

To feel a kite pulling

Without doubting the wind

How good it was to stroll by

Marigolds in the park

To walk further

For a love of boulders,

And not hear a hard voice

And not look through trees

For an exit

Not think

Wrong shoes

But run

La la la

La la la
