Life by an Open Window

Andrew Austin (c) 1983

Cobblestone wet drawing dew down
Dark pools collect all around and reflect
Refracting neon lights and crimson in the night
Gray shadows grow on maudlin glow

A man in an overcoat roams the dim streets
Street lights discreetly fade on with the night
Quietly observing the time line in progress
You can only guess why their lonely

Light penetrating the blanket you're under
Clouds in the distance rumble in the mist
Twilight's movement is forward to dawn
The night is done and you're alone

From Critical Mass' second studio effort Strings Attached (1984).
