Street Singer

You’ve sirened your pride in
With banners flying the nation
They all read «Come see about me»
We both bend in strong winds
But it seems we all can’t fend the break
So stay brave if your arbors fall
You’re under lock and key and I could break in
But I’ve never been a thief
All done with this old place
With the romance of sunlight on your face
And friendships too much like disease
Dear sovereign, I’m thinking that passion left town
When your heart did
(You're at it again)
But you used to beat the bright out of the sky
You steal meaning from seasons
Break silence like a bone of mine
Come closer or don’t come at all
You’re under lock and key and I could break in
But I’ve never been a thief
