"Silver" by Echo & The Bunnymen.
* * *
Violet and Quigley, blinking in the bright sunlight, held hands as they walked down the city's train station steps.
Swung from a chandelier
My planet sweet on a silver salver
Bailed out my worst fears
'Cause man has to be his own saviour
Blind sailors
Imprisoned jailers
God tame us
No one to blame us
"Wow . . ." Violet remarked as she observed the colours, the movement, the bustle.
The sky is blue
My hands untied
A world that's true
Through our clean eyes
Just look at you
With burning lips
You're living proof
At my fingertips
The walking man turned green, and suddenly Violet and Quigley were seperated by a wave of people crossing the street.
Quigley!
Violet!
Walked on a tidal wave
Laughed in the face of a brand new day
Food for survival thought
Mapped out the place where I planned to stay
Deja vu for both of them, in the mountains when the tributary seperated them so many years ago.
All the way
Well behaved
Just in case
It slips away
They found each other after a few minutes, and prepared to enjoy a day in the city together.
