Fog Lifts Off the Strawberry Stalls

by Teddy Okafor Trio

“Fog sitting on the market square like a grey cat on a chair. Lena found the cat in the piano.”

Lyrics

The fog is sitting on the market square
Like a grey cat on a chair
Canvas roofs are dripping slow
Lanterns glow, lanterns glow
A woman stacks her berries red
Every crate a little bed

Fog lifts off the strawberry stalls
Morning rolls up the grey
Every face comes into view
One by one, the old way
Fog lifts off the strawberry stalls
Hand me a sweet one, please
The day is opening its eyes
Slow and easy as the breeze

The cheese man winks and cuts a slice
Says the first taste is the price
Bicycle bells ring through the mist
Nobody here is in a rush
A little girl holds up her hand
Strawberry stain across her chin

Fog lifts off the strawberry stalls
Morning rolls up the grey
Every face comes into view
One by one, the old way
Fog lifts off the strawberry stalls
Hand me a sweet one, please
The day is opening its eyes
Slow and easy as the breeze

Sun comes down through the paper bags
Gold on the apples, gold on the flags
Strangers pass the basket round
Sweet is a sound, sweet is a sound

Fog lifts off the strawberry stalls
Morning rolls up the grey
Every face comes into view
One by one, the old way
Fog lifts off the strawberry stalls
Hand me a sweet one, please
The day is opening its eyes
Slow and easy as the breeze

Slow and easy as the breeze
