night time alone
summer breeze
cool and humid
i walk down the sidewalk
under trees
past houses
around corners set on fire
by lifeless city lights
night time alone
is the world quiet
are my thoughts roaring
they seem so loud
i can't tell
where they come from
where they go
as the ground drifts past
night time alone
i can hardly lift my head
as i walk
aimless or confused
forcing step after step
no end in sight
drowning or burning
and just as soon
as i think i'll never
find my way back...
night time alone
a leaf brushes my cheek
and i feel your fingers
touch my face
and lips
and eyes
the last time i saw you
and standing in the dark
on the lonely sidewalk
night time embrace
i am not alone
