Slow Parade

AND THE SLOW PARADE
DREDGES ON
A BIG WHEEL DANCER SAYS THE NEON LIGHTS
ILLUMINATE THE SKY
AND YOUR HAND AND MINE
DRAGGING MY ARM WELL AND FEED ON TO THE STAGE
WHERE THE OTHERS WAIT
AND HERE COME THE DRUMS
AND THE BEAT
THE DANCING TOE TO TOE AND I CAN FEEL A BREATH
HOLDING CLOSE TO ME
AND YOUR SUN COULD DIE
THE MOON COULD FALL
THE STARS COULD RIP APART IT DOESN’T MATTER NOW
ALL TIME HAS STOPPED
CONSIGNED TO MEMORY
ALL THE JOY THAT’S IN MY HEART
DON’T GIVE UP
DON’T CONCEDE ON YOUR ONLY HEART ACHE
DON’T GIVE UP
DON’T CONCEDE ON YOUR ONLY HEART ACHE
AND THE SLOW PARADE
DREDGES ON
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF MEMORIES SHE STAYS WITH ME
TILL THE MUSIC STOPS
