lyrics

People from France Eating Watermelon

When she walks her shadow dances
Like a white tail deer or a praying mantis
She dreams of people from France eating watermelon

When she smiles the gods steal glances
Ravens weep and children fall into trances
She dreams of people from France eating watermelon

And the winds sighs like a pedal steel guitar
And coyotes howl loud and out of tune
And the ducks land gently on the pond
And the sun’s going down ‘cause more stars gotta shine

She spends her days baking gingerbread buddhas
Gazing out the window and riding appaloosas
She dreams of people from France eating watermelon

She wears the moon like a high school ring
Or a glowing jack o’lantern on Hallowe’en
She dreams of people from France eating watermelon
