Evening Blues

The sun leaves the sky
Streetlamps cast their shadows 
    on the land 
  Peaceful breezes blow and 
rustle the trees standing on the pavement
 A truck passes by 
                   with its headlights on 
Only a little while ago 
     the bright star which 
is 93 million miles away 
Sent down its rays onto 
    the pavement 
Now amidst the clouds 
   one can see the moon 
The White Face has replaced 
the yellow face 
   A wistful feeling 
is in the air 
   Blues on a spring evening 
Let sleep carry you away 
   from the city 
Into the dream - like world 
    Something we 
can take joy in 
     with closed eyes
Something we can take joy in 
    with closed eyes

very bluesy, Matt. Yes, I was in New York just once. My once-upon-a-time friend invited me there in 2000. I only saw it in one day but we had an awesome time. Enjoy your vacation time!!
