Venice Canals

(album: Patchwork - 2020)

Well I know there's pain and suffering
You can feel the tension in the air
But they can see the stars shine in Beijing
And hear the bird song in Times Square

I know you're feeling insecure
From all this change that's come to pass
But the sky is blue in Singapore
And they can smell the ocean in Belfast

Now don't get me wrong
This ain't no happy song
There's nothing you can hold on to for now
But when you're feeling low, my dear
Just know the water's crystal clear
And the fish are swimming in the Venice canals

Well I know there's heartbreak and sorrow
And I know there's really nothing I can say
But we'll be closer tomorrow
To the end of all of this than we are today

So watch the sunrise from your window
And hear the rain fall on the ground
Tell your loved ones that you love them
And miss the ones that aren't around

Now don't get me wrong
This ain't no happy song
There's nothing you can hold on to for now
But when you're feeling low, my dear
Just know the water's crystal clear
And the fish are swimming in the Venice canals
