Dark Alleys

We get lost and think of the other,

And it gets better there,

Filling time’s like filling cupboards-

The sky was gray and bare.

You know I’d walk down dark alleys

You know I’d walk down dark alleys

To be that morning fair

You know I don’t care for the dark blue cover that hangs over the garden,

And I’ll be Winter's older brother “please take out the garbage”,

I’ll be Summer’s only sister,

Sing to my youth how I missed it,

And braid her golden hair.

You know I’d walk down dark alleys

You know I’d walk down dark alleys

To see the morning fair

The field was dressed in robins,

How could I have forgotten?

All that time’s been wasted

On praying for more patience

You know I’d walk down dark alleys

You know I’d walk down dark alleys

You know I’d walk down dark alleys

To see the morning fair.
