Haikuesque (When She Laughs) Lyrics
When she laughs
The piano in the hall
Plays a quiet note
Waterfalls
Turning gentle into rough
Then gentle again
Morning dew
Washes yesterday's garden
Ready for today
Rocking chair
Is still without a rocker
But is still a chair
When she laughs
The piano in the hall
Resonates a note
The piano in the hall
Plays a quiet note
Turning gentle into rough
Then gentle again
Washes yesterday's garden
Ready for today
Is still without a rocker
But is still a chair
The piano in the hall
Resonates a note

Beautiful.
I love the multiple interpretations of
Rocking chair Is still without a rocker But is still a chair
"still without a rocker" could refer to either the person not sitting in the chair, or the curved piece of wood not on the bottom. The chair has been w/o these things for a while. It's a statement over time.
Or
The chair w/o a rocker (the person or the wood) doesn't move and is still. It's an instantaneous statement.
I have teared to this song countless of times.
Sometimes sad sometimes happy, but all tears.
Still gets me now and then.
obvious interpretation; the song is told through a series of haikus, short, minimalist poems, the best way to describe how this particular girl laughs.
