I see the dark lands
Unfold before me
The rain is thickening down
I see the city aflame with lights
Though all the streets
Are beset with shadow
I see a man
With a curtain in his eyes
A stone upon his heart
He is lost in the past
And I see a woman
She is alive
(But as usual with these things)
She fears for the future of her child
And I hear the freight trains rolling
On through the night
With their endless cargoes
For our endless desires
And I smash the cup
I turn the dial
On the long-wave radio
The music plays out
Some old fashioned song,
Some old fashioned song, of love...
So goodbye, to all of that,
Good bye my love,
To all of that...
