WITHOUT A MOON ON LOVER'S LANE

Dream climb
wake up lover's town
faux ride
wake up without a moon
no cane
no hope of understanding
without a moon
on lover's lane

fat man
had a goddess to hold his hand
a feather ring
that dissipated so soon
no house on the dunes
no view with some room
on lover's lane
without a moon

But this battle ragged soldier
smoking in the rain
he drove like a madman
but he missed the train
all the same

Now
in this time of valour
no
fighting words pertain
and I'll step out quietly
onto this cul-de-sac
we call
lover's lane
