night walking

Cafes are deserted
Lingering rain coming from the purple sky
Common looks in the eyes with mine
Are asking for some change
I look away

Glittering reflections of street lamps on the asphalt
Makes me look up
A seagull flies by my head
Reminds me of the first day I met you
I wanted to play

There is this girl standing in the corner
Trying hard to find love
For the night
Ready to give her heart to just about anyone
It’s just a lay

This is a song that I know so well
Like a bright light shining through my window
This has been so long a wait
You are not answering my pray

How I tried so hard
To keep my distance from you
Not more than just a few steps
Having an eye on you
And the other eye away

I wonder if you ever knew
It was my heart hanging by a thread
From your egocentric cloak
That you had forgotten to pull away

Wound won’t fade
Hurt won’t mend
Heart won’t heal
Love won’t chase
My mind is slipping away
