Barra de Navidad

Jeff London
Catch a lover if you can
Gently occupy his space
Close to her in the sand
Neatly erase the distance between.
Catch the 720 bus
Watch the people blankly stare
Side by side with a mexican girl
As her child sleeps she strokes her hair
Streaking cause the pass
The sun makes its move around the clouds
Will you hold your heart steady
Like a whisper she can hear
Your face against the glass
Charcoal smoke signals town ahead
Will you make the pending moment last
With the fair haired alaskan girl at Barra de Navidad.
Cover your waiver with a second coat
The repetition means you mean
Everything that's there
Racing distance instead of moments, you let it pass away
Cover your heart upon your sleeve
She drinks with rowdies until dawn
You want to talk in an absenthe phase
Watch her rest as you stroke her hair
Face against the glass
Charcoal smoke signals town ahead
Will you make the pending moment last
With the fair haired alaskan girl at barra de navidad.
