A Dim Entrance

Send me to bed

My head's drowning out

The thick and blurry sounds

Of horses on the highway

The days running down,

And I'm drowning out

This overwhelming sound



Send me to bed

And tamp out the lamp

and the darker colours fade

to shades of gray and black

But the city's fireflies

Watch the bedroom with lights

Like an overwhelming sound



I must be drowning out



The roar of the engines

As they escape into night

The stillness unravels

The long lost strands of our lives

It drifts out the window

They drift out to sea



And I fall asleep

To an overwhelming sound
