The Mellow Sun Has Me

I hear the sound of kids playing in the garden 

As I come out to get some sun

Five minutes later Grandma's call to the cops 

States 8 shots put her on the run

At that time I had merely looked up

Blinking, breathing, I am okay 

As she was bursting out the door

"Get in the house NOW!!!" I heard her say

From inside the kids were then whimpering,

"Grandma, are we all going to die?"

Don't know if it's the chaos or the fear

That sparks the biggest lie

Out sunbathing calm and alone then

Not a whisper of children carefree

From within the darkness they moan and fuss

But the naked warmth of the sun has me

Just drinking a homemade latte

...this is the Sunday song to see

This calm feeling is what my skin soaks up

Today the mellow sun has me
