Rainy week in New York, and Amanda is showing Arthur and I emailed pictures of home ... lots of kids ... squatting together on the red clay of the yard, from baby to teenager playing the same game, can't know what it is, facing all different ways, but clumped together, no toys visible, lots of small rocks in the poor soil... "It's a real Monkey House" says Amanda, getting back to work behind the counter... Leaving the Monkey House -Amanda's Song Lorcan Otway all rights reserved. Taking Leave of the monkey house Going ut on my own As miles pass the bus window I'm not so sure I'm grown Was warm in the monkey house tumble of kids in my hair lucky littlest monkey you'll be the last to leave there Working for Zoya now in the big city dole out the coffee while I dream of family warm little monkey house in pictures from home slow down little monkeys now don't rush to be grown Christmas is coming now and a quick visit home so hard to go back again now I'm feeling so grown warm little monkey house if I go - I may stay but I have to be grown up now drop in and go away Dear little monkey house red clay's a part of me too wet or to dry to farm all that easily warm little monkey house so hard to feed us all but you were so good to me when I was so small |
