Bare Feet from Daughter by Tara Terra

Bare Feet and dirty clothes
I’m happy as a child with earth between my toes, I’ve been
running round in the body I miss
Where was it hiding how did I forget this
Windblown hair, no self to find
I’ve got everything when nothing is mine and I am
dancing on the ground that bore me
there’s nothing after this and nothing before me
so listen well and listen close
can’t you hear it singing?
Singing slow, it’s the song of wandering
the song of the dawn
the sound of bare feet on a private lawn
The sound of barefeet on a private lawn
the sound of barefeet on a private lawn

Bare feet and dirty clothes
I'm happy as a child with earth between my toes
This is the song of wandering, I'm wandering 'til dawn
Where was I hiding? Oh, now I'm found
