late night walking
river talking
alone within
your own shadow
dancing
fast stepping
marking concrete
sidewalk patterns
calling you down
where all those roads
pass behind
where reality has gone
where have you left
your last song
if somewhere
lost
untouchable
if you loved her
for a minute
have you loved forever
truth talking from
within your shadow
where one needs never
bleed
concede
late night dreaming
black-light river
calling your name
sweet refrain
lost song
singing
shadow words
shade across moments
where time crosses with rhyme
wind as sin washes
your eyes
through her deep hair
deep within a seasons
crossroads
where
one word holds
all the longer roads
cold night’s warm lips
sip of rain
ever the stain
never said good-bye
