Persimmon Dreams, the song — Take 1

I’ve been having persimmon dreams for a long time.

This is the first time, though, that I’ve tried singing about them.

But it’s only Take 1. Well, actually, Take 2, in a recording-studio-sort of way.

persimmon dreams

Babies born / People scorn / Emotions worn / Hearts all torn

Something sought / Too much bought / Bad wars fought / Nerves all fraught.

Countless tribes / Racist vibes / Booze imbibed / Alibies

I feel the love / Coming through the blue / Uh-huh

I feel the warm / Glow of the orange / Uh-huh

Learn by rote / Sinking boat / Too remote / Scared to vote.

What’s your share? / Is it fair? / Do you care? / Do you dare?

Ideas bake / All at stake / See what’s fake / Catch no break.

I feel the love / Coming through the blue / Uh-huh.

I feel the warm / Glow of the orange / Uh-huh.

Hard to steer / Tough veneer / Who’s sincere? / Why this fear?

Hard to hold / What’s been sold? / Who was told? / Awful cold.

Thoughts in reams / Busted seams / Vanquished dreams / Unheard screams.

I feel the love / Coming through the blue / Uh-huh

I feel the warm / Glow of the orange / Uh-huh

I / I … I … I / I’m having persimmon dreams.
