And I wear my special glasses
On this fortress by the sea
A broken sax and both of you,
No one sees things like we see!
By the river in Boston
Where the little white boats
Are like stars in the blue,
No one feels like I do.
On the rooftop where we kissed
And made movies of our lives,
All the silly things I miss,
No one knows like you and I.
And I wear my special glasses
When I wonder by myself
Through the fields and through the trees,
As I hide behind these leaves.
On the cliff behind the island,
All alone, while the violence
In the world breaks into waves
And I swirl within its blues.
When my lids are heavy
With departures and arrivals
And I feel the frenzied blood,
As it pulses through the terminals.
And I wear my special glasses
When I think and sip my tea
When I smile at all of you,
Or swim naked in the sea.
And I slide through many faces,
Through the laughter and embraces
I feel colourful and free,
All these eyes, they dance with me.
And I tingle as my skin and mind
Are drenched in eau de glee
I am golden, I am wild,
Warm as honey to these bees.
There is only song and colour,
Silly details make me smile
This confusion is perfection
And it all makes life worthwhile.
And we do not need the music,
We can hum and we can write
I can hear things through my eyes
As I’m gripped in life’s big bite!
Cheers to my friends Meg, Elle and the broken sax.
