WHEN TWILIGHT FALLS

I'm falling faster these days

I guess that you are too

I cannot turn the tide

We need rescue

Your sparks are just as bright

your details just as deep

but babe our wickedness makes me weep

Till the twilight falls and I recall

The promises Love made to you and me

Here and there, the shadows bear

Witness to Love's memory

I'm still lighting fires in the mall

running sparklers down the hall

And praying that the aftermath

Will fall upon us gracefully

But I cannot do this thing alone,

My heart is broken to the bone

And the daily information wars

leave me lonely

The Jacarandas are is bloom

The baby's running round the room

And the hummingbird is circling and

Feeding from the cactus flower

But life can be a cup of gall

Even so and after all

I'm still hanging off the platform of the rolling train

Knowing you'll catch on
