So I think

What if the night was blown away like

Dead leaves in the breath

Of a sunny day and

What if streetlights weren't yellow eyes

Cold guardians of darkness

Or intruding spies or

What if I was waiting for more

Than a passing car

That won't take me far or

What if I don't get in when the door opens

What if I don't say one hundred

And I run away? Maybe

I'll find a place under the snow

Tonight, the wind will wonder

Where I've gone

But the stars will know

Where I am.
