The House Of Long Tomorrows

My wife`s 50th birthday approaches - I thought she might enjoy a song about beginnings.Raised ( like so many Thai kids) by her grandmother, she likes to tell tales about their nighttime food foraging and all the tough love.The last verse is a little cryptic, but hopefully she`ll get it.
I`ve listened some to the recent forum songs as a welcome refresher from the full-on fun of doing up a CD;good to hear there`s no reduction in the quality on display!

The House Of Long Tomorrows

three girls fit on a bicycle
one to pedal
one to steer you can hold the umbrella

hurry home from school little Laa
its almost monsoon
tonight we`ll hunt frogs by the light of the moon

you`ll sing me that song
your songs are the dreams I see through
to the house of long tomorrows

nearly an orphan such a tomboy
maybe you can fly
put on this dress dropkick the sky

ask the rich lady about the Eiffel Tower
today you`re a Christian
try to sing words you don`t understand

sing me that song
your songs are the dreams I see through

to a steaming green land
full of glory winged bugs
sweet bamboo sighs
there`s only good luck
your father and mother`s
flip flops are there
at the door of stories
as many as the creak of the stairs

sing me that song
your songs are the dreams I see through
to the house of long tomorrows
always coming home
to the house of long tomorrows
