Oh he calmly takes a shortcut through the park He calmly takes a cigarette out of his pocket You see it all from a distance and the air just kind of sits there doing nothing The lights slowly die off into the haze you take your time to walk around the lake Oh and I, I do the same It helps me to get through the night It helps me get through the night Here comes the sirens now here comes the flashing lights There is a glow in the eastern sky you had your time and I had mine you had your time and I had mine We walk by each other there on the north side of the lake It helps me get through the night It helps me get through the night

about

Here are some extra songs from the Lewis the Light album Christmas in Hanoi:
lewisthelight1.bandcamp.com/album/christmas-in-hanoi

More songs about wandering around central Hanoi at all hours of the night. About walking around the lake and remembering the past. Noticing the sky slowly change colors and youth long since lost to time. Standing in the shadows side by side. The light from the street lights refracted in the rain. Listening as the city slowly wakes up and the sun rises and you have made it through another night.

Any proceeds will eventually be donated to the San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness.

"Satisfied with his care and the width of his belly, Lewis escaped and returned to San Francisco, where he was arrested after ripping open his clothing and asking passersbys to witness the divine light that burned in his breast."
