Blown Away ( Did the World End Today ? )

Blown Away ( Did The World End Today ? ) Falling in the ashen dusk Quiet streets are lined Laying beneath a pinked and rose set sky Everything painted in the same warm washed hue And blown away Far beyond the horizon speaks Where lonely clouds dream of peaks Snow and rain and not sun and sand Offers them a helping hand As they are blown away Falling there amidst the green Fronded palms wave gentle to the sea The dusking sky with its rim of pinks Takes hours to breath its sigh cuddles the sun as she sinks Other realms in windows lit Reflect upon the playing day And in the corners were the webs have grown Dark and subtle words have shown They were blown away Blown away Breezing whisper of dunes and Sahara All blown away Blown away In ribbons the fairy lights of streets Telegraph messages of silent peace To rest their tired skipping feet On the other side of dawn Tracing the patina of yesterday Theirs in wisps and sheen of blues and greens The Earth revolves So far away And blown away What did you say Blown away As a kiss the failing light redeems All and everything Converging in its blanket breath And smiles for a moments rest And blows away And in the waking the light is cleaned Each and everything Has a brand new name Although they look the same They were all blown away And in the waking as the light is cleaned You and me and everything Are given a brand new name Although we look the same We know we where Blown away What did you say We were blown Blown away
