about
I started writing it when I got back from West Africa and was still infused with polyrhythm. Then at the same time my Aunt was very sick with cancer. The first and second verses were written before and after the funeral respectively.
lyrics
On a bench in a village green a girl pretending to be a queen,
Took of her crown and threw it in the lake.
Sitting next to a man, serene, and holding onto a tambourine.
Singing about a choice he had to make.
She was a poet’s daughter, looking at the crystal water.
Emerald eyes and chocolate skin.
He was a wild looking man. He somehow blended with the land.
Holding onto the tree as I move the sun and the sky, got it all to lose.
I take one final touch of the ground. The wind’s blowing through my hair.
It’s carrying me up there. As my dreams sink with my crown.
I’m gonna be reborn, as I’m torn, from this world.
Hold me hand, let me cry. And let us never say goodbye.
Took of her crown and threw it in the lake.
Sitting next to a man, serene, and holding onto a tambourine.
Singing about a choice he had to make.
She was a poet’s daughter, looking at the crystal water.
Emerald eyes and chocolate skin.
He was a wild looking man. He somehow blended with the land.
Holding onto the tree as I move the sun and the sky, got it all to lose.
I take one final touch of the ground. The wind’s blowing through my hair.
It’s carrying me up there. As my dreams sink with my crown.
I’m gonna be reborn, as I’m torn, from this world.
Hold me hand, let me cry. And let us never say goodbye.
