about

My homage to Kibbutz Ein Gev, in the north of Israel.

lyrics

I been workin’ in the sun,
‘Neath the avocado tree,
And I just don’t know
If I’ve any energy.

I been workin’ it slow,
But the heat’s a pourin’ down.
Suspicion overwhelmin’ me:
In the sun I’m gonna drown

But you know that it’s all worthwhile.
Yes, I flew 8,000 miles
Just to witness this piece of history:
You and me and the Sea of Galilee.

Take your time, old man,
And take a look at the sun.
You’re at the end of the trail
And I’ve only just begun.

But I can sit beside you here
And we can share a friendly breath,
Watch the sun goin’ down,
Not give a care about death.

Friday night is fun:
Kick back and have a few drinks.
Melt together in time
And watch the big sun sink.

And when the settin’ is done,
We throw a few more down.
We dance around until dawn
And fall asleep on the ground.
