about

This song lyric is a take on a Sufi parable:

One late evening Nasreddin found himself walking home. It was only a very short way and upon arrival he can be seen to be upset about something. Alas, just then a young man comes along and sees the Mullah's distress.

"Mullah, pray tell me: what is wrong?"

"Ah, my friend, I seem to have lost my keys. Would you help me search them? I know I had them when I left the tea house."

So, he helps Nasreddin with the search for the keys. For quite a while the man is searching here and there but no keys are to be found. He looks over to Nasreddin and finds him searching only a small area around a street lamp.

"Mullah, why are you only searching there?"
"Why would I search where there is no light?"

lyrics

LOST KEYS

I saw a man out on the street today
By the bus stop as I made my way
His gaze was cast upon a spot there on the ground
And as I passed I wondered what it was he might have found

And on my way back home this afternoon
I saw the man still there, he had not moved
His face was twisted and eyes were tired and red
So I stopped to listen and this is what he said

Looking for my keys under this light
Can you help me please
I lost them in my house last night
Looking for my keys I feel so blind
I’m looking out here on the street
‘Cause this is where it’s really bright

Bah bah bah

His face was twisted and eyes were tired and red
So I stopped to listen and this is what he said

Looking for my keys under this light
Can you help me please
I lost them in my house last night
Looking for my keys I feel so blind
I’m looking out here on the street
‘Cause this is where it’s really bright

And so I laughed and went along my way
It seemed so sad I hoped he was okay
I left him crawling on the sidewalk like a fool
And yet I’m wondering if I lost my keys what I would do?

Looking for my keys under this light
Can you help me please
I lost them in my house last night
Looking for my keys I feel so blind
I’m looking out here on the street
‘Cause this is where it’s really bright
