I long what summer brings
Sunlight through open windows
Highlighting a lack of need for any kind of worry
I watched the time expire
Remove the carpet from my feet
On my living room
And with it all I want to keep the safety of my youth
I don’t want to go
When I hear that bell
Signal fire in my head
From out of this perfect slumber comes crystalline fear
The ring pulses in my ear
Hot blood pumping through my brain
Flash grenades remove my senses
I know I’m never going to hear the laughter from these streets
I don’t want to go
And evening’s on the wind
Morning content to close its eyes
I catch a fleeting glance of someone I recognise
But cannot apprehend the lies a decade in our eyes
An eminence of faith
Of prospects unbeknown to me
He lights a cigarette
The glinting die is cast at noon
A child is left
A man is held in one resounding need
A signal fire in my head…
A signal fire in my head…
And with it all I want to keep the safety of my youth
I don’t want to go
Recorded (video) audience feedback still to come...
