There is life here,
It is dawn in the city
and boiler smoke dances so pretty
with the freezing air as people wake,
it’s far too early and hard to take
The bells they ring so gallantly
to the bleakest sunrise ever seen,
As the sun it battles with the fumes,
to only rise and breach the cloud
While you dance through sun and mountains
But you never warn me of your outings
You just send your evidence back
I cannot take this kind of pain
I am just trying not to lose this game
But you just send your evidence back
Staring o’er the fence, into the field of all my past desires
I feel their warmth, a distant heat, still beautiful like bales on fire.
I see the kids,
the sparks they fly and singe their thrift shop clothes and smiles
You children take it, have your fun,
I turn and wander slow for miles.
