song with no title inspired by my travels in SE Asia
post
Smiling faces carved in stone 1000 years ago Silent laughter, they hold a box of things we'll never know Lost & forgotten, buried beneath the concrete steel and coal A shining staircase to climb above the children far below
The world it moves so fast and I just don't know should I make it last or should I just let it go?
Stone faces stare back from the cold streets of New York 1000 light years from poppy fields and rainbows in the North or endless skylines of alabaster, lightning in a storm of tumbling rain upon the tin roofs, banging out a lonely song
The world it moves so slow and it makes me feel it's not how much you know but knowing what is real
Only darkness can balance the blinding brightness of the Dawn The Eye of Venus, what you cannot see you'll never own The red horizon hides a secret within it's velvet fold Without the shadows you couldn't tell the glitter from the gold
The world it moves so fast and I just don't know should I make it last or should I just let it go? I'm gonna let it go, I'm gonna let it go. . .
