This room is filled with people

People that I do not know

This night is full of stars

That I can not see from here

I got on the bus; you got off the train

And these sidewalks are walking me home tonight

Safe from the windy winds on the shore

I knelt down beside the road, watched the forest

Hold me still: take me by the hand

Promise, ghosts the once glorious past

…I have stayed too long
