I could see all their faces
As they streamed passed my box
I could hear their voices
As though they came through a Vox
They boomed delight – a desire
I wanted the record player sound turned higher.

I would lean into the driving wind
And settle for a cool rainy day
If the sun refused to shine,
Somehow I couldn’t have my way
Yet sleeping is really like flying
And living is only a prison.

We walk together through the sands
We ignore the falling stars 
As we stride onward hand in hand
For the grains of time are stacked high
Ready, as if waiting for something afar
To arrive, resplendent in colour;
Sunset to sunset the miles stretch forever.

We walk the empty plains
But the sorrow rains
Like petals from a fading lily
We see sunrises, but ignore the essentials
Like half blind animals we turn silly,
As the sunset approaches I look at you
The long shadows surround me and you
We embrace as the warm sun fades away
Another sunset passes, sunrises to another day
