Where the Jacaranda grows
It's not from here as it happens
but it seems so quintessentially 'us'.
Come October November when it
brightly blooms it seems to burst the heart
With what surprise then there in China
April May, I saw it blooming
beside the statue of Deng xiaoping
Of all people just imagine!
And yet tonight watching 1923
What did I happen to see?
Set there in South Africa,
The brilliant flash of purple.
but it seems so quintessentially 'us'.
Come October November when it
brightly blooms it seems to burst the heart
With what surprise then there in China
April May, I saw it blooming
beside the statue of Deng xiaoping
Of all people just imagine!
And yet tonight watching 1923
What did I happen to see?
Set there in South Africa,
The brilliant flash of purple.
