sampan

• cin e ait kabinli, kucuk tahta teknemsi.
• cin nehirlerinde kullanilan alti duz kayik.
• al stewart şarkısı. between the wars albümünden.
  
  the sun is high, looking out i see
  the emptiness beyond the jetty
  seagulls raining like confetti
  on the water
  sea and sky come together in
  a hazy kiss out on the ocean
  europe seems a foreign notion
  hardly thought of
  
  and would you leave your modern world behind?
  i know who i am
  riding in my sampan
  
  in the shade stands the foreman in
  a floppy hat and linen suit
  beneath his ancient leather boot
  the ground is straining
  far away, figures bend to tap the
  endless seas of rubber trees
  to coat the wheels of paris taxis
  where it's raining
  
  and would you leave your melting world behind?
  i know who i am
  riding in my sampan
