On visiting days
one should wear one’s best hat
and wait on the water’s edge
for the best possible world
fingers crossed in the back

On visiting days
one should wear one’s best hat
and wait on the water’s edge
for the best possible world
fingers crossed in the back
Les jours de visite
on porte son beau chapeau,
pour attendre au bord de l’eau
le meilleur du monde
les doigts croisés dans le dos

Waiting for the perfect time of the night
to heal wounds that
cannot speak the language
of bankers.
Tea time !
I heard this
Times are tough
but there’s tea
Then the very long silence
of truth

We will have to
drain the sadness of the world
through our Sunday tears
give back to the earth
memories that smell good
then we will hesitate when opening the door
Am I going out or not?
the skin is soft
the sea is salted
the waves are happy
a summer day (in Nelson)
