She works hard here in America
raising her boy between shifts.
The French songs take her back;
she lies on the floor and goes 15 years…
Paris in the summer of her 17th year.
Songs and music and magic,
passion in the air
as rich as the voices in this music.
A woman of 35 now with that same passion
lies transported with memories
and me, I can see that girl in this woman;
I feel her there and here.
She’s across those years now, away from me
but I’m glad to catch her anywhere.
