Too Long Away

20 May

Saw a baby cryin' at the doors of L'affette

Sure as hell been tryin' but I don't feel better yet

Saw the young kids playin' on the escalator in the Louvre

Saw their Mama smilin' and felt my heart move

Saw a toddler running near a fountain in the park

Watched her mother wrap her up, its getting cold and close to dark

Watched the boats cross the fountain as the sun was going down

Heard the kids all laughin', what a beautiful sound

Wandering Jardine des Tuileriers, feeling a sad and solemn sight

A quick glance at my watch, six hours till my flight
