music: Carlos Jobin lyrics: michael hermiston guitar,piano,percussion: mh lyrics: hopping on my bike to go and meet a friend my life in turmoil, broken heart it needs to mend i didn’t look while turning onto Queen St hit by car flew into an oak tree, broke both my arms now i get around by walking arm in cast i can’t play music and i can’t type very fast broken heart is mending faster than my arms i guess i needed to slow down a bit listen to my quiet inner voice and honour it i spend my time just sitting now and watching the day go past and instead of chasing after life each second seems to last ’tis what they say about being alive we are who we are meant to be with all the strife and things to leave the search for meanin g is a lovely gift and so with my hands immobilized, i smile at all the things i could do now the smiling is the thing i recognize as being too.
