The Silence |
Another knot of dreams |
They keep chewing up my sleep |
And spitting out my whole work-week every morning |
Well this city is a sea |
And its undertow grabbed me |
And dragged me off into the deep without a warning |
I’m longing for the silence, a field to lay my head |
Where the engines and the sirens are no longer my debt |
And I can finally hear my conscience, listen close to what it said: |
«If you don’t make your bed, you don’t have to lie in it.» |
And in the morning when I rise |
Every step’s a compromise: |
Motor fumes, and burning eyes, and drunken violence |
Through the city, tall as trees |
Hydrant rivers fill the street |
And I can hear the birds and bees in the next apartment |
I’m longing for the silence, a field to lay my head |
Where the engines and the sirens are no longer my debt |
And I can finally hear my conscience, listen close to what it said: |
«If you don’t make your bed, you don’t have to lie in it.» |
I’ve got my backpack and my tent |
And a thumb pointing to heaven |
And a couple bucks to spend if I get hungry |
This land demands no rent |
Though the air I breathe is lent |
And the sun is so quiet as it shines on me |
I’m longing for the silence, a field to lay my head |
Where the engines and the sirens are no longer my debt |
And I can finally hear my conscience, listen close to what it said: |
«If you don’t make your bed, you don’t have to lie in it.» |
If you don’t make your bed, you don’t have to lie in it |
