Lie under grey clouds, not just under stars,
talk when there's nothing to say.
Send me a postcard, from your hometown,
give Christmas presents in May.

Smile at the strangers, laugh at the wind,
walk slowly in a bustling street.
Drink coffee at nighttime, wear red with pink,
and offer the old man a seat.

Look in the fifth draw, not just the first,
consider it might be ok.
Make friends with children, pay cash for shoes,
smile at the end of the day.

Count all your soldiers, not just the eggs,
go rainbow instead of green.
Dance when you're tired, sing when you're hoarse,
look back and see where you've been.


Don't forget your raincoat xx
