There's a number of ways to look at what I'm doing.
The best one is that I'm having a vacation.
And I have not really had a vacation in about ten years.
So I decided to do it musically.
Music
Seems like only yesterday I left my mind behind
Down the gypsy cafe with a friend of a friend of mine
Who sat with baby heavy on her knee
Spoke of life most free from slavery
With eyes that showed no trace of misery
A phrase in connection first with she
Occurred
That love is just a four letter word
Inside a rattling storefront window
Cats meow to the break of dee dee dee dee dee
I kept my mouth shut to you I had no words to say
My experience was limited and underfed
You were rapping while I hid
To the one who was the father of your kid
You probably didn't think I did
I heard
You say that love is just a four letter word
I went on my way and now to slip forth into my own games
In and out of lifetimes unmentionable by name
Searching for my double looking for
Complete evaporation to the core
Though I tried and failed at finding any door
I must have thought that there was nothing more
Absurd
That love is just a four letter word
Strange it is to be beside you many years of tables turned
You'll probably not believe me if I told you all I've learned
And it is very very weird indeed
To hear words like forever fleets
Of ships shrunk in my mind I cannot cheat
It's like the king in the teacher's face complete
I can say nothing to you but repeat
I heard
That love is just a four letter word
