Secret Oktober

Wise on a birthday party In a world Full of surprising fireworks And sudden silence Lies on a stranger's bed The new day breaks Like a speeding train On an old friend Ever expected, But never knocking Holding your own In a battered car All night parties Cocktail bars And smile When the butterfly escapes The killing jar Sure eyes awake Before the dancing is over Wise or naked in Secret Oktober Freefall On a windy morning shore Nothing but a fading track Of footsteps, to prove That you'd ever been there Spoken On a cotton cloud Like the sound of gunshot Taken by the wind And lost in distant thunder Racing On a shining plane Tomorrow won't be content To watch as the lightning Plays along the wires And you'll wonder Sure eyes awake Before the dancing is over Wise or naked in Secret Oktober Sure eyes awake Before the dancing is over Wise or naked in Secret Oktober
