Little Breezes

Little breezes dancing on the air
Little breezes touch my skin and wander through my hair
You just might save me
You just might save me from this heat
You just might save me
Upon my neck a whisper truly sweet
Little breezes cutting through the steam
Little breezes just like the Goddess and her flawless scheme
This dank might kill me
This dank would kill me if it weren’t for them
This damp might kill me
The way the damp will rot the leaf and stem
Little breezes come and save me
Little breezes bless me
Little breezes floating through blue sky
Little breezes invisibly you do not have to try
And you will save me
You will save this woman from the flood
Yes you will save me
You will save me like no other could
Little breezes…

They’re just like family you don’t get to choose them
You’ll find out quickly you have things in common
But still you feel lonely, no water, no phone
Scared shitless and hungry and they’re asking from home
Are you near the volcano? Did you feel the earthquake?
Your mouth is swollen from the food
You don’t know the language but you don’t want to be rude
So you say hello and thank you very much
Still something’s missing… your new lover’s touch
It’s raining cats and dogs and Nuclear Fallout
You’re always waiting for the next thing
Always contemplating words you want to sing
You’ve traveled so far to be here right now
Be mindful and present, it’s time to learn how
That’s why you came here, now isn’t it?
They’ve wanted to love you but they never could
Your own self-loathing keeps you from what’s good
Your guts always tell you it’s so easy to hide
While just across the sea on either side
Japan is in ruin, yellow dust’s on its way

천천히 천천히
Not the way the magpie flies
Not the way the trains go by
The way we want to fall in love
The way we want to fall in love
천천히 천천히
The way a man will change his mind
The way regimes will fall in time
The way a border’s broken down
The way a border’s broken down
천천히 천천히
A nation’s people left behind
Another’s moved ahead in time
How to repair this great divide
Oh, how to repair this great divide
천천히 천천히
천천히 천천히

In South Korea it’s always raining
And I never see the moon, I never know if it’s waning
And the air is so wet it kills the breeze
In Idaho the air is clean
And everyone is camping in between
The howling wolves and the pine trees
In Idaho there is a man
I want him to love me but he doesn’t think he can
So I am trying to let him go
In South Korea the ever changing faces
Have come to see what they’ve heard of far off places
Like the seasons they come and go
Soon my season will change
And learning to love again won’t seem so strange
South Korea is far away
From Idaho so I won’t stay
No, I won’t stay
