Polvo - Twenty White Tents lyrics

Man in a chair, outside in the air
Rubbing on the leg which he
Broke three times falling
From a tree which he could not climb
Man lays down, whispering names of towns
Forgot about the one where he ran all night
Up to a river where he almost drowned

Caterpillar crawls on the table beside him
A shiny short cloth with a shaggy trim
Memories have never got to applause
Approach him
Twenty white tents on a yellow lawn

Man on his feet
Wrapped in a cotton sheet and
He's almost as tall as he was before
Wrapped in a blanket on a sandy shore
Man watches birds
Whispering made up words like the ones
Long ago then he plays
The song and he's singing to
Himself as he walked along

Caterpillar crawls on the table inside him
Gonna grow wings at the break of dawn
Particles have lost lonely gifts await him
Twenty white tents on a yellow lawn
