Some things burn in open flames,
while others prey on glowing embers...

I know this place well by day,
but the waves speak a different tongue by night...

Lady Wind, through rustling leaves,
where she doth blow, they go...

Cigar smoke drifts across the room
and cradles the aroma of fresh espresso...

I once heard some wisdom from a friend, would you...
I see you nodding at your screen, so maybe I'll...

I picked it up from the ground as she jogged by;
it fell from the pocket of a hoodie tied around...

And so I put down my smoke to listen to what...
It's OK love, there's more than the sidewalk that...

Air is heavy when you're sober,
a weighted nothing breaks your pride...

Scorched is the land 'neath where my feet lie,
where rain burns black in the dark, night sky...

Beneath the sun lay blackened crows,
the only shade in sight...

I feel I'm growing older
as my dark hair starts to grey...

Dedicated to my dear friend Sandra, who has fallen...
