[Haley Heynderickx, Max García Conover - The Park lyrics]
It took hold of me I saw a grown man crying
I ricocheted the difference as
A stranger kindly watching
From a park bench across the street
And it took hold of me
I wonder what this man is borrowing
Has he unlocked the pattern from that
Well that he's been drawing from
As he dips the shadows unto his feet?
And it took hold of me
Was someone planting him a garden?
Was her hair as long as
The streams within a fountain pouring light
Into a home he could not keep
Oh how nice to see a pattern broken
When I've never even seen my father weep
So it took hold of me
Was someone planting him a daughter
Was her life as strong as the
River pushing water from the sides
And gently out to sea
And it took hold of me
I offer cigarette and lighter
I know it isn't much but if
It makes spirit's feel higher
We push the smoke out into the street
Into the street into the street
I ricocheted the difference as
A stranger kindly watching
From a park bench across the street
And it took hold of me
I wonder what this man is borrowing
Has he unlocked the pattern from that
Well that he's been drawing from
As he dips the shadows unto his feet?
And it took hold of me
Was someone planting him a garden?
Was her hair as long as
The streams within a fountain pouring light
Into a home he could not keep
Oh how nice to see a pattern broken
When I've never even seen my father weep
So it took hold of me
Was someone planting him a daughter
Was her life as strong as the
River pushing water from the sides
And gently out to sea
And it took hold of me
I offer cigarette and lighter
I know it isn't much but if
It makes spirit's feel higher
We push the smoke out into the street
Into the street into the street
