All along the midnight prairie, Across the twilight plains and rarely, In those oft forgotten and half imaginary, Waking dreams of bygone maps, Lies that kid you used to be a lack, Lidless moon and starlit flack, Illuminate loves long lost track, Wherein , perhaps, dear child, dear friend, You'll find a way to here again, But in this world oh so blue, Where twilight never gleams nor shines on through, Where going back is no mend, And dying forward is one's bend, Verily little boy listening clearly, My wisdom sense I pass on dearly, You'll get nowhere on this life I fear, Without losing your innocence, In a midnight prairie
