Ode to central park minstrel by Walter Jones

They took me to a time
when love was in my mind
I topple down to this other
feeling in another town

She was there talking in the square
I wish it was true but it was not you
water in the fall
snow melts the call
of rainbows in your eyes

Talking to the sun
which way to which way to run
life is not the window
in which you will see

Standing in the rain
I felt the moving of the pain
to some other person whose name
I do not know

Still the stone
was there standing in the square
a voice that did not care
calling me to come

Why is it hard to live
in the park
still not give a damn
who will come and go

When the man came
It was not in the pouring rain
it was on a jet plane
he told me I had to go home

Still in the breeze
it is summer leaves
water falling from the trees
that I now recall

what is the game
that the children play
when the parents go away
to havens gate

Why can't I find
The correct word in my mind
what happened to me this time
why must I leave this world

It was so right
when under stars
I slept at night
no body to fight

With me about what to eat
when or where I was to sleep
some times I feel the box
beneath my feet

But the rope fell to the ground
I die with out a sound
Children in the square
I think they cared

My songs they sing
jumping rope
it is as if
I were still here
I hear their laughter everywhere
I am still the minstrel in the square
