Lyrics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And when what had passed lied in the street the people rose up through the buildings with tiny faces.

Streets turned their shoulders away from the giant sky

and mumblings of machines, provincing the bedside table.

I sometimes think of you in a darkened room: sitting next to a bed, face half-lit by the silvered dreams of youth.

You went out, past bridges, read books, touched bodies and kept to yourself. The city explodes, spires, peregrines. First soft train maples on the rails. Here there could be no other word, endure.

The old storms climb their stairs and canvas the same old world—peopled and glassed in anxiety.

A red letter seizes another sleepless night. And who were you for all that wishing? Regret breeds desire, and the sea of truth I would rather not visit.

Town, old with rain. Glowing red house. Envious beds.

We’ll never sleep in.
