For RG.
On the day you passed
I was in Istanbul
And the ATM outside
The Radisson Blue Hotel lobby
Swallowed my card
And I couldn't work out
Who to contact for help
On the day you passed
I drank coffee in a bakery
On the street
Where the gypsy woman
Selling flowers
On the corner
Gave one to a stranger
Asking nothing in return
On the day you passed
The people in the hotel
Looked worried,
Said it was strange
But I knew why
The sun went in
And it rained and rained
And the man on the corner
Yesterday selling sunhats
Started selling umbrellas instead
And I got drenched to the bone
And never wanted to see the sun again
Because I felt so sad and alone
