Light falls
I see the buildings growing distant
As the people lock their doors
A shadow moves among the curtains
The moon is hiding all the stars

Light falls
In every shadow passing over
A breath of sadness hides another
Years are spent to be with no one
To dream of cities of the night

Long thin shadows
Stretch all through the streets
Draped like oiled silk
To hide the thing beneath

Long thin shadows
Slip through each unknown
Shiny as a gun
To show what lies undone

Over the houses now we fly
With wings of marble in the sky

Light falls
I feel the trembling of the darkness
A single light gleams like a pearl
The endless pacing of a stranger
Who walks like me until we sigh
