Rooster Tail

I sometimes wonder where we are

And what’s the purpose of this world

Inside the universe and stars

The sirens wailing speeding cars

And out in nature silence waits

No matter what we try to take

As we search for heavens gate

I saw a rocket heading out

It made the neighbourhood fall quiet

The rooster tail that drifted down

Disappeared before the crowd

Ashes to ashes dust to dust

It’s only love it’s only lust

And we cry in God we trust

If the Stars Come Out Tonight

Will you step with me into their light

That shines in place and tells an ancient time

Like a sequin dress got thrown across the sky

So carelessly

Deep inside a mundane night

We live our very tiny lives

And time herself will never care

Inscrutable and so unfair

A shooting star could trace the sky

But doesn’t stop or answer why

I saw a rocket heading out

It made the neighbourhood fall quiet

The rooster tail that drifted down

Disappeared without a sound
