as i walk through the streets tonight
the world has taken a break
the only guide is a street light
that shows i'm the only one awake
my thoughts wander through my head
like birds chirping in my ear
i feel that i should really be in bed
but the silence is all i hear
the moon hangs low
reflecting off the damp street
it possess an iridescent glow
that replaces the absence of heat
i slowly begin to drift away
as the darkness engulfs me even more
i start to spin and sway
as the night closes its door
the sun emerges from its slumber today
as the moon falls into the sky
i feel that today might be a better day
and not a sad goodbye
