Seven miles from home
A hole in space
Where a door
Has been left open
A hole in my mind
That looks out into space
Seven miles from home
A peace in leaves
And damp trees
Where a vibration
Shines a warning
A place in heaven
Seven miles from home
A pace that slows
The brain, while sun
Beams stream through
On to the road to nowhere
A place where birds don’t sing
Seven miles from home
Through the air
Bringing the world down
A touch of years
Seers the heart
Bringing heaven on down
Seven miles from home
Music envelopes the heart
Where green is the colour
And blue is the mood
And red is the heart
And purple is the moon
