"OSMOSES" Carole Alexis: Music/Musique

GREY SUBWAY
Carole Alexis

She sings a happy song in the grey subway
She’s from a far away land
Where beauty is violent
And in abundance
She sings a happy song in the grey subway

Does she carry the laughter of the children?
What memories floating behind her face
Did her spirit run back home leaving her body in the big city?
Did her broken heart
break her mind?

She sings a happy song in the grey subway
She gives roses to lovers
She doesn’t pay attention to the expressions on our faces!
She sings a happy song
in the grey subway
And you mock her
Her song is a shell
Nothing touches her

And I have her song to finish my day
Oh I have her song
to forget the grey subway
Chorus:
Born in an Island
Nee dans une ile
Lost in the city
perdue dans une cite
Legend of a song
Legends d’une chanson
Of dispersed color couleurs eparpilles
