Promenade

Earth sky sea and rain
Is she coming back again
Men of straw, snooker hall
Words that build or destroy
Dirt dry bone sand and stone
Barbed-wire fence cut me down
I'd like to be around
In a spiral staircase
To the higher groundAnd I, like a firework, explode
Roman candle lightning lights up the skyIn the cracked streets trampled under foot
Sidestep, sidewalk
I see you stare into space
Have I got closer now
Behind the faceOh tell me
Charity dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up through spiral staircase
To the higher ground
