Streets Ahead

You were streets ahead, I couldn't sleep a wink

Staring in the dark, by the light of your skin

At myself sitting, on a suitcase

Or as the sleeping youth, in the upset sleigh



They don't wait

They won't wait

They run with the weather

They don't wait



Listen, you can hear, the sound of the sleigh

The panting of the team, of all runners away

And all the gentle work, of the traces

Their jingle-jangle jerk, destroying all space



They won't wait

They don't wait

They run with the weather

They don't wait

They don't wait

They won't wait

Just stay together

They don't wait



Wait, wait, wait, wait

Please, just stay together



They don't wait

They won't wait

They run with the weather

They don't wait

They don't wait

They won't wait

Just stay together

They don't wait



Wait, wait, wait, wait

Please, just stay together
