lyrics
When I Did It
I was a young,
A pretty thing
I was the song
You’d want to sing
Ill at ease,
Young and bold
My body knew,
My body knows
I loved the world
And them that’s in it
Even them
That’s done wrong.
When I met him
I meant to have him,
Meant to love him
Make him believe,
Made of him
A melody
Planted it
A ragged tree.
Bore no shade
Bore no fruit
A thorny thing
But deep the root
I found my place and I stand on it
And when I did it
I didn’t falter
Nor did I linger
And now it’s done
He wasn’t mourned
Nor was he missed
And what of love?
Well what of it
What of love?
What of it?
I was a young,
A pretty thing
I was the song
You’d want to sing
Ill at ease,
Young and bold
My body knew,
My body knows
I loved the world
And them that’s in it
Even them
That’s done wrong.
When I met him
I meant to have him,
Meant to love him
Make him believe,
Made of him
A melody
Planted it
A ragged tree.
Bore no shade
Bore no fruit
A thorny thing
But deep the root
I found my place and I stand on it
And when I did it
I didn’t falter
Nor did I linger
And now it’s done
He wasn’t mourned
Nor was he missed
And what of love?
Well what of it
What of love?
What of it?

about
Pete Thompson El Prat De Llobregat, Spain
Lockdown and “The Dog-Eared Book of Everyday Tales” was done, the birds turned in circles and now Joy Williams and I shared
a joke on the rooftop.
Just then, a huge turd fell from the sky landing with a vicious splat by my feet, it looked like a suicide What could it mean? I turned toward Joy but she was long gone.
Later that night the rain came and I lay there listening as it washed it all away
