Behind My Sight
It's bedtime once again
My knuckles showing white
Bed clothes gripped in fear
Behind my eyelids sight
There will come a day
When the silver bird will fall
Scraping building tops
Human deathly en-thrall
It has been so many years
Since the little girl has gone
She's below that darkened shed
In the caravan park where I belonged
She screams like one of old
From a far dark distant prairie
In hide with the running masses
Buffalo in full run scary
And then we turn to tomorrow
To other visions I have seen
I am no Nostradamus
And I am no in between
I have the fear of touch
To tell you where you've been
If I break of communication
I can tell what you've not seen
For those who cross my path
I see their future in my view
Behind my sight I see
More than me and you
It's my bedtime once again
My knuckles are showing white
If you crossed my path today
Will you ever sleep tonight
