Split Pea Soup (lyrics/J.Eagle)

Lyrics John Eagle / music & performance by edro

On a moonless night
The lights of the shrimp boats
Are like floating stars In the blackest sky
They are clear me In just the same way
An arching jet stream
Appears across a summer sky

We know what they are
Because we associate
Connect the dots
From a place as dark as night
Yet we still fail to see
That which is just as clear

I smelled the change
Long before it came
It smelled like split pea soup
With ham hocks and garlic
Truth be known
I'd smelled it before
The only excuse can be
I love split pea soup

There is much I love
And still love
But as I sit on the quay
I only see stars
I see stars
Stars that blink on the blackest sea
Or is that just the sky?
I am craving
Split pea soup and you

This is very good. Head and shoulders above all the other split pea soup tributes out there.

@dmio2 i swear I typed in a somewhat witty reply and it disappeared. Perhaps it will resurface....
