EMBRACE

EMBRACE
10/89

Walk the street alone at night
It’s never been this dark before
The stars are shining over me
But I don’t know what for
Trees embrace the streetlight shine
Upon a concrete bed
My arms are left empty by my side
An aching in my head

On the street avenues meet
And make a brand new friend
On the horizon day meets night
Then day comes to an end
City meets the sinner
Gutters swallow rain
And I meet the darkness
As I walk the streets again
