Nelson |
|
Bridges and rivers and buildings pulled down |
|
Time spent in places my footsteps had found |
|
Mirrors in ballrooms lie smashed on the ground, |
|
Walking with November mists |
|
Pathways and windows and movies in May |
|
Quiet old ladies who'll soon pass away |
|
Paintings and songs that I'd done in a day |
|
Going 'round in my head |
|
Fires on spires and chimneys of black |
|
Fields on horizons with pylons that crack |
|
With singing sad wires for council house mystics |
|
To apply their statistics |
|
And read the tea leaves, |
|
Time knows no limits for days such as these. |
