THE WIDE OPEN NIGHT

The horizon divides

A world, painted blue

They're playing Tom Waits

"Drunk On The Moon"

Day bleeds to night

Under a grapefruit moon

The ocean is black

Beyond the pale dune

The streetlights flicker

In the late summer heat

The gulls have flown west

The world is asleep

It's just me and the moon

And the sorrowful sea

The tide has come in

And brought up the deep

The ocean holds memories

And I hold the sea

So deep and so dark

So dark, I can dream

I breath in the freedom

Of the wide open night

They're playing Tom Waits

"Midnight Lullaby".
