I watched Europe from one hand
With the other trapping the wind coming from the West.

I watched until my eyes trailed along the dark terrain
Slowly falling off the necks of people, shadowing the ground as winter approached,
Like a tall, tall road where the only way up is with your hair curling
Towards the forest of trees as the hands of time tuck away.

I never sleep anymore,
Never really feel what its like to dream
So when the morning is just right,
I take a long breath and watch the sky until
I can see myself as a small boy, playing again, playing until the roads turned to dirt

Playing until someone yelled my name,
For those days I was free, but I still never dreamed,
And I write this to the hands of time,
Please give me time to think and dream,
Let me finally be free.

Poignant. We'll pray for good dreams.
