The Vagabonds

We’ll make tall sandcastles
Then crush them with our feet
We’ll draw a big heart near the waves
Then watch it wash out by the sea
And we’ll see the sun go down while munching on candyfloss
You, me and us

We’ll run up to a hill top
And feel like king and queen
We’ll yell out our names to the neighboring hills
Then wait for our echoes to talk to us
And we’ll breathe in the fresh dewy air of love
You, me and us

We’ll run out of the house in the year’s first monsoons
Drench ourselves in the pouring rains
We’ll tell each other how sexy we look when wet
Then let our warm lips touch each other’s while we are still shivering
And we’ll return home for a cutting chai and hot pakodas
You, me and us


We’ll set out for long drives
Never knowing where we’re headed
We’ll play our favorite music and sing along
Till our throats are parched and we realize there’s no water in the car
Then we’ll blame each other for forgetting the water and keep singing
You, me and us


We’ll quarrel over petty things
And fling sugar jars at each other like a baseball
We’ll shed some tears and forget what we were fighting about
And apologize a million times
Then we’ll make love for hours and make it all up
You, me and us


We’ll spend all day in warm arms
Talking about everything and nothing
We’ll share our fears and dreams, swearing everything’s secrecy
Then we’ll know each other some more
And wonder in awe about how much more there is yet to know
You, me and us


And when we’re tired beyond compare
We’ll fall asleep on the other’s shoulder
And know we’ll be taken care of till we grow old together
And we’ll live and love, we’ll love and live
Like vagabonds, till we close our eyes for the final time
You, me and us
