New Places

So maybe this can be a place for lyrics and poems too? I wrote this after visiting my cousin in Sweden during winter break of '09. She was studying abroad in a little college town called Lund. I have been meaning to put some music to this thing, but I mean to do a lot of things..

Evening, Lund

I've come to a land

Of lamps dressed in icicles

Of cobblestone streets. They are

strangers to my feet

So old, so new.

Dimly lit windows of seven lights

burn away the remaining days

Toes warm, my soles crunch snow

on the untraveled path to my home for the night

All noise is down

My shaking bones find peace at last

Subway man, play your accordion

Let it echo through the past,

around my mind

Let me rest until the morning.
