No woman no smiles I remember When we used to smoke In the gazebo in my fathers yard Four friends we are (still) Mere boys we were and we brothers be Observing the girls that dance to tale-songs And chat on end under the moonlight About flimsy filigrees and us We made plans To take the world Share it to four empires And rule all our years That was long before We taste the Fruit and see our dreams Follow the stairs into curly air And our paths in a single fate's breath Diverged like ashes in the wind- One gambled, one worked One prayed and loved the gods The other tried substances We found ourselves Ruling no empire nor palaces But in the arms of the simple women who Loved and chatted about us.
