I was crossing at the corner
The day was grey the air was cold
Suddenly it occurred to me

I was easy on my soul
I was crying cause I loved you
The sun was shining in my shell

Deftly dodging crazy taxis
I'm glad I know you well


I have watched you in the garden
Dirty hands shining skin
A smile that says you're glad to see me

Sighs for sadness where I've been
No need to worry 'bout protection
I hold the shield that is your spell

Let me help you with the weeding
I'm glad I know you well


I've been looking out for answers
I think frankly there are none
There is honor love and family

And work left to be done
And when I listen to the winos
Who say this world has gone to hell

I can smile and disagree
I'm glad I know you well
