Street at Night
Look out of my window
Onto the streets
Sounds of car horns
And passing feet
Of people going
On nightly walks
I hear conversations
As people talk
The cars going past
With their headlights on
Blinding my vision
Until their gone
Streetlamps bathe everything
In an orange glow
Making things look strage
Even stuff I know
Silhouettes of trees
Swating softly
Making shadows like claws
That are haunting me
As the night goes on
Less people walk
As it gets darker
Less people talk
I hear fewer cars
With their blinding lights
Pass on down the road
'Til their out of sight
The streetlamps now glow
On an empty street
As people have now
Gone to bed to sleep
But I stay by my window
Looking at street lights
That have shone for years
On many nights
Every night
I sit in my room
Think of people who're happy
While I sit in the gloom.
