Lyrics
the night arrives / and the moon hovers a sickly light / barely above the horizon line. / why should we expect it to shuffle its aching feet / across the encompassing darkness? / and leave its own comforting darkness? / the day returns / the clocks tick and the ocean churns / and where am i? in the same place i put myself last night. / where with my evening glass and a herculean refusal to act / i sat and marveled at the stillness / and the boredom of it all. / the night arrives / and the moon is still there where we last locked eyes / but who knows - wheres he's been in the intervening time. / confusion reigns! it reigns and it rains and it blocks up the drains / and i think, "maybe, today will be the day / for the ruffling of sails and shuffling feet." / if i am to stay / may i be like the lamppost that lights your way / as you pass below - a quick flash in a steady glow / and if you look up at night and the moon's in a frenzied and fearful flight / we can still marvel at the stillness / and the boredom of it all.
