Desire Lines

When you were young 

And your excitement showed

But as time goes by, 

Is it outgrown?

Is that the way things go? 

Forever reaching for the gold

Forever fades black 

And comes up cold

Walking free. 

Come with me. 

Far away. 

Everyday.

Walking free. 

Come with me. 

Far away. 

Everyday.

When you were young, 

You never knew which way you'd go

What it was once grace now undertows

Well everyday do what you can

And if you let them turn you 'round

Whatever goes up must come down

Walking free. 

Come with me. 

Far away. 

Everyday.

Walking free. 

Come with me. 

Far away. 

Everyday.

Fountain Stairs

 

I forgot my book

At the fountain stairs

At a chapter on symmetry

Nobody cares

And I had a smoke

While I traced the squares

Put my finger to concrete

Felt the autumn air

 When I look around

I can feel it spinning

Feet on the ground

Head on the ceiling

 

Sun on my shirt

Sweat on my hands

All falling in retrograde

Cancel all my plans

And I had to look

At the marching band

Skip across the pavement

Nobody's there

 

 

When I look around

I can feel it spinning

Feet on the ground

Head on the ceiling
