In the silent evening waiting for someone to come by

With the streetlight in her hair and shining eyes

Laughter flowing slowly through the neighbour's kitchen window

And the sun a blood-red colourful goodbye

Let go of the empty tricks that made your working day and cry

Walking on a tightrope stretching miles away unseen

You must try to reach someone you've never been

Sleep is just a waste of nighttime sorting out of memories

While you toss and turn and hear your insides scream

Let go of the tired thoughts that keep your mind awake and cry

Hearing now all that you are and will ever be

Morning skies and you can see

Ugly dawn is here again, you must be on your way now

Must do battle with the day again somehow

Driving down to work you pause so briefly

When the brakelight of the car ahead of you just flashes on

Pass a dog that's lying dead on tarmac with its body cold

The crawling rush that is your day is drawing to an end

And even working minds must need a break to dream

Hoping for someone to make your evening not so empty

Just a whisper from the one on whom you lean

Even as the darkness falls you put your mind away and cry

You are now all that you are and will ever be

Morning sky and you can see
