The Child Song

Noises and more noises
Of birds and flights
Of honey and flowers

What they were today
Is what they will be today

Noises and more noises
Of a child running in circles
Of a man asking about his I

What they were today
Is what they will be today

Noises and more noises
Of the fun of finding out
Of the wings old and new

What they were today
Is what they will be today

Noises and more noises
Of the clock that ticked
Of coffee and smokes

What they were today
Is what they will be today

Noises and more noises
Of my name and that stranger who left me tonight
Of about things that I wanted to share with you

What they were today
Is what they will be today

Noises and more noises
Of the desires of an empty stool by the bar
Of where to go for the real blacks and real whites

What they were today
Is what they will be today
