wooden bag - richard dawson lyrics
a knapsack made of oak
purchased for thirty francs
from a market in geneva
in 1968
carved from a single piece of wood
a level of workmanship one rarely comes across today
many rainstorms have not dulled the l-stre of the wood
the lid of the satchel is made up of slats
affixed to a piece of sky-coloured felt
it closes with a click
and fastens with a clasp
the shape of a b-mblebee
blown in gl-ss
the shoulder strap is equally quaint
a daisy chain of leather
fraying at the zenith of its arc
at the centre of each flower there lies a bead of wood, oh
i can’t throw this bag away, oh
i can’t throw this bag away
a bar of highland toffee
its wrapper still intact
with an expiration date
of j.a.n. 86
a strip of contraceptive pills
a box of anadin extra
half a dozen of those tiny ladbrokes pens
sh-lls collected from the sh-r- of newton-by-the-sea
the smell of the ocean
in a used handkerchief
a lattice of hairpins combing the beach
a cloth-bound diary
filled with cartography
countries that you saw
whilst you were asleep
receding into leaf
i can see a bridge of moonlight flowing, oh
through the page
how i miss you, i can feel it in my molecules, oh
i can’t throw this bag away, oh
i can’t throw this bag away
