Ani Difranco - Clip Clop Clack (Rome 11.15.04) lyrics

Note: This is a poem in the booklet of Educated Guess, but it is not read on the CD A girl with the sun of her youth At her back And the shadow of her womanhood Before her on the stones Is approaching with a delicate Clip clop clack Her sandals full of toes That i suppose are headed home It's early in the evening And up and down the river People begin to gather Pearls of laughter On a strand I thought solitude would save me It was pious It was grand But the monk that walked beside me Just let go of my hand
