Glistening In the Night
So I got lights on the hills in my view tonight.
Glistening little lights from this window of mine on high.
I can see the movement of vehicles on the motorway.
Beyond that moving line my hills disappear over the way.
So I got lights on hills in villages I can see.
It’s quite magical to watch, it’s quite magical to me.
I can hear the train before I see it snaking lower down.
Follow a car on the motorway until it gets behind a hill and then appears higher up on the other side of town.
So I got lights on hills out towards the Peaks tonight.
A light flickers in the sky as a jumbo jet silently goes by.
I can hear the drumming scratching of the engines three/four miles away.
See a car on the criss-crossing country roads behind the motorway.
The panorama from this window covers at least twenty miles I think I’d say.
So I got lights on hills and dark areas where no lights there are to see.
If I lean out of the window Emley Moor and Barnsley football ground are the furthest I can see.
But I love this view as it flickers so gently. It’s relaxing and beautiful to watch, it’s relaxing and beautiful to me.
