City of Twilight

from Gleewood by Gleewood

lyrics

Hiding in the darkness,
Beneath the willow tree,
Some might say that there is foul wind at play,
But I’m as peaceful as can be.

A small, dark man breaches the corner’s bend,
and enters the shadow’s folds.
Even when the moon shines bright in the City of Twilight,
Its hard to see the difference between a friend or foe.

As the small, dark man made the corner’s bend,
He stopped suddenly then I knew he knows,
That my secret seat beneath the willow’s reach,
Was no longer secret, but now exposed.

He took a large step towards me in a theatrical display.
He brandished then a small violin and swiftly began to play.

Some people need someone to hold and to squeeze,
Some folks require the warmth of a friend’s fire,
Some people need a warm summer breeze,
But that’s why I live in these city’s streets…
Where “some people” bleed.

Well, he was joined then by quite the host,
A Bass player from hell and a Xylophone.
A Cellist, a Trombone, and small boy far from home,
Who grabbed a trashcan off the street…
And held the beat.

Then the band they left, they vanished, they were gone.
I didn’t know which way the went, or where they came from.
I was perturbed, I was shaken, I was moved, I was stunned.
Then suddenly it hit me…
This is where I belong.

Some people need someone to hold and to squeeze,
Some folks require the warmth of a friend’s fire,
Some people need a warm summer breeze,
But that’s why I live in these city’s streets…
Where “some people” bleed.
