Cold Bottle, Stranger at the Bus Stop

by Cassio Lune

“Thirty-six degrees at the bus stop and a stranger with a cold bottle. It's a small kindness set to a slow shuffle.”

Lyrics

Thirty-six degrees at the bus stop
The tarmac is shimmering slow
My water ran out hours ago
And the shelter's too hot to hold

A stranger in a yellow cap
Reached into her bag with a grin
Cold bottle, sweating in her hand
Saying here, you look like you need it

Cold bottle, cold bottle
A small kindness in the heat
Cold bottle, cold bottle
Sweet as anything to drink
Nobody asked, nobody knew
Somebody saw me, and that's enough
Cold bottle, cold bottle
Cold bottle on a summer street

We stood in the stripe of shade
Fanning ourselves with a map
She said the bus is always late
When the weather is like this

I never even got her name
But I drank it down in three
The sun can do whatever it likes
I've got a friend for the afternoon

Cold bottle, cold bottle
A small kindness in the heat
Cold bottle, cold bottle
Sweet as anything to drink
Nobody asked, nobody knew
Somebody saw me, and that's enough
Cold bottle, cold bottle
Cold bottle on a summer street

Pass it on, pass it on
Some day I'll have one to give
Pass it on, pass it on
That's the way the cool gets round

Cold bottle, cold bottle
A small kindness in the heat
Cold bottle, cold bottle
Sweet as anything to drink
Nobody asked, nobody knew
Somebody saw me, and that's enough
Cold bottle, cold bottle
Cold bottle on a summer street

Cold bottle on a summer street
Cold bottle on a summer street
