Push my paper forward
As a shield from spider string
Step on snakes among the grass
To hear the crickets sing.
Smoke my jealous fire
To match the summer flies
Lift my hopes all higher
Just by glancing at the skies.
Writing now in darkness
Of familiar yet unknown
Begging for a prince's kiss
But no affection is shown.
Up above the tiny trees
Moonlight shimmers down
See the beauty if you please
Oh, in another town.
Here uncharted homeland
From the holidays
Shake a friendly stranger's hand
It is just a phase.
Hidden love soliloquy
While I'm far away
But when I see literate eyes
Mouth has none to say
As I think of you again
Soft hair and skin so brown
Pain bites like a bleeding sin
Oh, in another town.
