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
