Happy Birthday to Ananya with Lots of Love
Night Swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all
I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
Day dreaming
Chain smoking
Always laughin
Always jokin
I remain the same
Night Swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you
Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
Each moment is new
Freeze the moment
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment
I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I..)
I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
Day dreaming
Chain smoking
Always laughin
Always jokin
I remain the same
Did I tell you that I love you
Brush your teeth
And pour a cup of black coffee out
I love to watch you do that every day
The little things that you do
Each moment is new
Freeze the moment
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment
I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I..)
I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment
I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I..)
I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
(Everytime I fall)
(Everytime I fall)
I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
(Anywhere but here)
I wouldnt wanna change
(I wouldnt wanna change)
Anything at all
(Anything oh I..)
I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do

Words of love

For you, my luscious fig
the Taj Mahal wouldn’t be too big
For you, my sweet paratha
I’d write a poem longer than the Mahabharata
I’d walk backwards over the Himalayas
if you’d spend with me your nights and dayas
For the maharani I adore
I’d steal the priceless Kohinoor
I’d meditate
I’d levitate
to hear you say
“That dog is great!’
For you my learned guru
I’d learn to speak Urdu
and for my true-blue fakir
I’D pluck the rarest rose from Kashmir
I’d practise Ahimsa
for one quick glimpsa
your pure clear white soul
the one that knows all.
So come my darling Darjeeling
my prize, my jewel,
my everything –
our Karma can’t be clearer
there’s no one I hold dearer
no Fata Morgana
it’s you that I wanna
share Nirvana with.
Swami on Rye,
Maira Kalman
