The pleasure boat sails by
You wake up in Kolkata
As the street lamps assign hues to raindrops
The beggars escape
In dreams of a moonlit snowy landscape
Your beloved roads are washed anew
Flooding the edges of your comfort
As a solitary raindrop quietly
Awakes on your railing
May the injured lonely crow
Be by the wayside tomorrow
The trains of this city seek
Water nymphs in the dusty wind
Painting the wind on their wings
Wisps of hair like urban gossamer
Wafts far away
The pleasure boat sails away
Floats away the keel of caresses
And the shy cigarette butts
Learn to bathe
Careless heaps of sand on the street
Stand guard where the fireflies meet
The trains of this city seek
Water nymphs in the dusty wind
Painting the wind on their wings
Wisps of hair like urban gossamer
Wafts far away
The pleasure boat sails by
You wake up in Kolkata
As the street lamps assign hues to raindrops
The beggars escape
In dreams of a moonlit snowy landscape
