about

A surreal experience listening to familiar sounds of Cape Town from a telephone in San Francisco.

lyrics

Receiver

I know that world, through the receiver
Whistles and yells, from taxi drivers
Windy streets, filled with vendors
Making ends meet, selling to strangers

I smell the meat, hear men talking
See kids laughing, and dogs barking
Mama’s walking, babes on their shoulders
Working to nightfall
To return to their shelters

I know that world, i dream of today
Once my own world, now but a memory

Accents and smiles, on dark complexions
Walking along, sun lit intersections
Honking horns, smokers smiling
Woman working, in the suns heat

Taxi Ranks bustling, and doors slamming
Drivers whistling, at people walking
Windy streets, filled with vendors
Making ends meet, selling to strangers

I know that world, i dream of today
Once my own world, now but a memory
