Walk On
U2
by tryingtowrite
Are you thinking of me while your wife cooks the Chusok dinner
A beer in your hand, a cigarette in the other, while our music plays
A happy Flip Flop solar plant to keep me company on this Korean holiday
Everyone gone and the wind my only companion
Internet music playing on the computer as I write
The music you programmed for us
Frosty beer and cigarettes my friends now
Up and down in an imaginable plant life
my Flip Flop friend moves
to the beat of our music
As I remember other times alone
Holidays when only music, plants and the wind were with me
And you my friend, my lover
Are you thinking of me while your wife cooks the Chusok dinner
A beer in your hand, a cigarette in the other, while our music plays
Do you think of the ocean breeze as we walked hand in hand
Can you see my Flip Flop solar plant that moved to our rhythm
Or am I a distant memory forgotten in the family mirth
An amusement to wile away boring hours
Non-holiday times when you are faced with your non-complete life
The boring wife who cooks a great holiday meal
I’m waiting in the wind
Watching my plant and listening to my music
Waiting for you to come and tell me that the holiday is over
And that you are mine again
Or do U2 want to walk on?
