The train home
Not my shadows, not my grey
not my graffiti, not my spray
not my concrete, not my crowds
not my rain and not my clouds
Not my buildings, not my streets
not my washing, not my sheets
not my dogs and not my cats
not my crows and not my bats
Not my bridges, not my spars
not my theatres, not my bars
not my shops and not my lights
not my place to spend the night.
Here is where the light turns green
here the ever changing scene
here the meadows, here the fields
here the stress begins to yield
Here the rivers, here the trees
here the birds sing just to please
here the lovers walk the lanes
here the simple life is plain
Here my friendships, here my vows
here my sheep and here my cows
here my castle scrapes the sky
here my life stops rushing by.
Here my sunset, hear my sighs:
here are my boundaries, here is my prize.
