Fogged Lights
I see the scene before me as it rains
The roads are slick with water on the ground
The reflection of the lights seems inane
It is powerful to see this around
The lights down below the heavenly sky
Everybody that walks by all look down
The scene that I see involves a buggy
Looking ahead, the horse draws it along
A reflection of these objects is high
I wish to be in the rain, I belong
I’m insane not to be out there running
Playing in the dim lights, singing a song
Even if I’m wet, there’s no regretting
I would pet that horse on the street tonight
I’m glad it’s night, for the sun is setting
I see horse and buggy go in the night
Beyond the sight of the fogged lights outside
The street is all lit by the lovely lights
Now the reflection is just slightly wide
The water blends in nicely on the side
