Everything everything looks the same broken sidewalks puddles of stagnant water the same walls and leaky roofs and trees wrapped around light poles I have no time no time to spare Oh the night the night gives off sparks and all the motorbikes overwhelm the sidewalks all the cars are parked haphazardly I have no time I have no time to spare Oh but I still stalk around on the street staring at houses and the faces of people I am never going to meet I keep walking toward the outskirts of the city Oh the night throws off sparks it envelopes me The night throws off sparks and envelopes me I keep walking following railroad tracks but the night it envelopes me it envelopes me The road let me straight for miles it was endless I thought of nothing I thought of nothing I have no time I have no time I have no time to spare

I guess I went blind there in the early morning light Stand up straight you are starting to slump we only have so much time It is time to buckle up time to tie your shoes or we will be here all day I walked down a side street it opened up and there was a Cathedral in the middle of a square I was old world touched and this is old world too Here comes the sun again Oh it is that part of the day We were out by the office buildings way on the other side of the lake You have time I know enough time to ask for directions This might get better but on the other hand no one will know You had some kind of awkward body language I don't know what you are trying to say you stare at your phone and let yourself drift away Oh move your eyes up to my face and just look out at the city It is hard to be here and somewhere else all at once The flies just stay inside the restaurant but you do not you are lying on the floor just trying to get attention in front of us the city just takes it's time in front of us all these people Here comes the light down the side street bouncing off windows here comes the light it just makes it inside just in time just in time

about

Another set of extra songs from recordings for the Lewis the Light album Christmas in Hanoi:
lewisthelight1.bandcamp.com/album/christmas-in-hanoi?

More songs about wandering around Hanoi at all hours of the night. About motorbikes parked on the sidewalk and walking down a street that opens up into a square and there is a gothic cathedral lit up in the evening light. Noticing the evening sky slowly become night and remembering youth long since lost to time. Waking up in the cold light of the early morning before the sun finally finds you and a brand new day begins.

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."
