And we discovered a wonderful kaleidoscope 
Of exuberant and vibrant humanity

Enchanted tones tell a story 
About a people made from dusk
And red clay 

They blend into caravans...

some punk rock band on the radio
plays transparently hopeful echoes of some quick romance
while she lounges on the couch in a see-thru dress
smoking expensive french cigarettes
her dreadlocks spread round in the morning sunlight
but her sunglasses...

Your love flows through my veins
