Lyrics:

I turned on the TV war news
Just to look and wonder why
Thunder crashed and red flash-flowers
Bloomed a nightmare in the sky

So i went down to the café
Just to string myself along
On the way I found some riches
Played the jukebox, got this song

While I sat there a ragged man came
Bummed a coffee, talked awhile
Told me stories full of wonder
Left me laughing like a well-loved child
