What are you doing here?
In the land of kind women
Where you don't speak me
Or understand him

Who are you looking for?
In the melodramatic warm rain
Yellow flowers in your hand
Little fingers wrapped in another

Do you look at the starless sky?
Curse the clouds and lights too bright
Did the tremor scare you too
While you assuaged her thoughts at night

Are you travelling the world to find home?
And return home to get lost
I hope you take care of yourself
I hope he takes care of you
