Wrote this one a while back, premiered it at a couple of gigs in Bangalore recently. Folks seem to like it. Words – with a little help from Messrs. Venugopal and Das.
Grab your biggest problem
By the words it can be written with
Put it down
Put it down
On the coloured paper
Don’t save it for later
Put it down.
Now your fingers
Can delicately fold and crease
And quietly release
The wonder
Hidden in the paper
So fine…
I looked at you and thought
Just how am I going to find
Some words tonight
I should’ve
Put them down
And got them just right.
Then I could watch your eyes
Grow wide open green surprise
Unfold this heart of me
From some silly origami
So fine…
The paper is the door
The paper is the window
Welcome to the fold
We’ve got a long way to go
Just take this paper heart and remember
The places you’ve been in my mind
We used to know how to make
A paper swan
Is it gone…
Oh to be young again
Can you keep up with this geometry
The shape of all our memory
So go ahead, and fold me
Into your silly origami
Hold me, fold me, love me
In this silly origami
