Coriander

Post by MountEerie » October 14th, 2019, 11:34 am

V1:
Your watercolors, cover all
the chipping paint and cracking wall.
We talk amidst the smell of pho,
from the restaurant below.

We share our dollars; We save our thoughts,
in fragments and mosaic jots,
on paper scattered 'cross
the hardwood floor.

C: (x2)
Day old bread, and coffee, hot,
we share this destiny we've wrought.
Day old bread, and coffee, hot.

V2:
We walk across, the dewey grass, of early onset fall.
I notice that the birds no longer seek the shade at dawn.

Many souls have trekked this very part of Sutton park,
but I feel a pivot coming, and I fear it won't be long.

I say to you: I should have worn a coat or stayed inside,
you say you think the breeze is kind of nice.

You say that feeling cold, once in awhile, is good for your mind;
yeah, feeling cold is good at times.

C: (x2)
Day old bread, and coffee, hot,
we share this destiny we've wrought.
Day old bread, and coffee, hot.

B:
Moving, moving,
shifting, soothing,
up the steps and to our home.

The sanctuary,
where we gather,
weary but atoned.

Comfort me, my lady,
with the wisdom you have sown.

no misgivings,
when we're sacredly alone.

C:
Day old bread, and coffee, hot,
we share this destiny we've wrought.
Day old bread, and coffee, hot.

We share this destiny,
We share this destiny we've wrought.

"A song about my favorite herb/spice?" I thought and though it's not it somewhat is as your lyrics speaks of something/someone who is an additive that enhances your flavor... well to me at least.
I get a "Sixpence none the richer" vibe from this one.
enjoyed

"no misgivings,
when we're sacredly alone."

That quote is where you got me. Great song, poet. I'd love to hear it.
