Close to nightfall

CLOSE TO NIGHTFALL (E A D G B E)

 


Take everything. Don’t leave anything. Except my pen and my guitar. Now the sky is clear watch me disappear. I didn’t have to leave to travel far.

And now it’s quiet. The slightest sound rings through the air with sun on the doorstep. The grass is long but it is free.

The water holds its breath and shows me emptiness. It’s her responsibility.

 

And soon I can rest. But my work is not done yet. The day is long but I am close to nightfall.

 

I’m getting too tired to ride my bike. Though I’m not ready yet for sleep.

The light is fading now. The wind is turning round. But you can’t come back if you never leave.

 

And soon I can rest. But my work is not done yet. The day is long but I am close to nightfall.
