Concrete and Shadows

 I promise you I'll find some way to record myself.  Till then, I guess we'll both have to be satisfied with lyrics.

Concrete and Shadows

Reflecting its shades of grey

The moon lights the people’s cityscape

Waiting for them to open their eyes

From a dream so fantastic it touches the sky

Lets take all its shapes of squares and straight lines

And curve them and weave them like ivy vines

Lets touch all the pavement, the steel and the glass

And turn it to forest, to fields and to grass

And dance in the rain

Time will stop again

My friend

And you are the sunrise that is what it embraces

And you are the leaves’ green dancing in the grey

Concrete and shadows won’t keep you in memory’s chains

Echoing on the stone

Feet try to find their way home

Faces pass each other by

A friendly glance shares no reply

But I look into you and see in your eyes

The love that’s so wanting in the city at night.

Lets take the awareness we share in our gaze

And use it to build and to live a new way

And touch all the grey

And to green it will fade

Cause you are the sunrise that is what it embraces

And you are the leaves’ green dancing in the grey

Concrete and shadows won’t keep you in memory’s chains

Time slowly turns all into dust

Concrete crumbles and metal rusts

All things born will pass away

Isolation cannot remain

Glass towers enclose me while feet touch the stone

People surround me yet I feel alone

The love I remember fades in with the grey

And tonight I’m left longing for the warmth of new day

But I hope all the same

I’ll feel it again

With you my friend

Cause you are the sunrise that is what it embraces

And you are the leaves’ green dancing in the grey

Concrete and shadows won’t keep you in memory’s chains
