In K-Town




In K-Town


This, my city, what they now call K-Town,
Is where you and I grew up sweeheart.
It is this city, where our childhood's memories are.
I'm walking on that famous beach,
The 'chai-wala' blares out to me,
The kids, run around, shouting for joy.
I tread on these sands, I see its grey and white,
Stuck on to my feet,
And I hope one day we will hold onto each other,
The same way,
As coarse as I may be like this sand.
I walk these streets,
I drive my busted up car around this city.
Passing by those places you....
But wait, was I not with you just now,
In your new, distant land?
There where law is supreme.
There, no power lines are seen. 
There where the sun shines brighter,
Though not brighter than you.
Where a river flows through your city,
And we walked its streets,
Unafraid, clinging onto each other,
Holding onto our love.
Yeah, I'm in K-Town,
The camel on its beach nearly runs over me.
This city I shall soon abandon,
As you did me.
No I will not travel to you,
Nor am I saving up to,
For near you I may be,
But long distance never works.
Has the new, clean air you breathe polluted you?
Yeah, l am in K-Town.
