T h a n k y o u f o r t h e b l a c k b e r r i e s
The two of us sit under a tree a new found friend and the same old me
it’s the perfect weather for a nap today but the hundreds of flies keep us awake
the sun is strong but the wind is too and the birds sing songs as they always do
right now I have no doubts or hopes just relaxed and happy not to be alone
The French boy tells the truth he says, ¨I can’t help myself¨ as he turns his head
¨They're so lovely and I want them all, and she there so leggy blond and tall.
It’s not fair nor is it the time to try to keep my young strapping self in line
so let it be and let me grow and let time pass cause till then who knows.¨
Thank you for the blackberries that came each day with perfect ease
that taught me now so I believe the day will come when I won’t want some and I can settle down
Each town I walk through offers me pears, apples and figs right off the tree
a travelling man comes to share a word but hello was the last word that I heard
my eyes scan each tree up and down looking to take advantage of all the fruits in this town
Oh help me God to feel satisfied says the glutton of fruit and of love and of life
Thank you for the blackberries that came each day with perfect ease
that taught me now so I believe the day will come
And thank you for this time alone to know myself and to be my own police
who worked to sever ties to be released
and thank you for the moving seas whose ions give me energy
the pink sky of today's sunrise I close my eyes and
wind runs through my crazy hair bringing goose bumps on but I don't care
the freedom that these feelings bring is what makes me sing
Thank you for the blackberries that came each day with perfect ease
that taught me now so I believe the day will come when I won’t want some and I can settle down
