Edie's Song

As she closes
the door
another stranger
amiss

but then
the sky
lights up
and clears away the mists

people are crowding around
all trying to hear the sound
leaving me out in the rain

but when she closed
the door
she never had to see the day again

the night didn't
go on
but her voice kept ringing our minds

but she closed 
the door
and never saw the day again
