This next little song
also comes from living

00:00:05.550 --> 00:00:09.420 align:middle line:84%
on that poverty-stricken
distant Japanese island.

00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:11.370 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Love."

00:00:11.370 --> 00:00:16.510 align:middle line:84%
It's the first time I would have
dared to call a poem "Love."

00:00:16.510 --> 00:00:21.310 align:middle line:84%
And it's because I was
beginning to think I could say--

00:00:21.310 --> 00:00:23.350 align:middle line:90%
see something about it.

inside-out ten times over

00:00:41.580 --> 00:00:46.590 align:middle line:84%
lead the circle of Obon
dancers through a full moon

00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:52.440 align:middle line:84%
night in August, the
youngest girl last.

00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:57.840 align:middle line:84%
Women who were up since last
night, scaling and cleaning

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:06.360 align:middle line:84%
the flying fish, sing
about love, over and over,

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:09.110 align:middle line:90%
sing about love."
