Persimmon from Fellow Traveler by Pierce Murphy

I wanted to do a jazz waltz that felt very straight ahead, and so that's where this came from. The lyrics are about the time my wife stole a persimmon from a monastery in Crete. Or maybe it was an orange...

Lyrics

Tender like a
Sweet persimmon
Honey drip between your teeth
Stolen from the
Chapel garden
Like lovely Eve

Down a road
Unforgiving
Hold the treasure to your lips
Through the mist
Of the valley
Sacred as it is

To the sea
Dancing for us
While nectar runs
Down our skin and into dust

Baby, I would
Leave my cradle
Rocking gently in the wind
For a life
Plucked from paradise
By your careless hand
