I Watched While the World Slept

I Watched While the World Slept The simple minds are sleeping On the threshold of the moon While the nocturnal wolves are weeping None hear the barkers swoon Darkness is uncertain We do not want to see What lies behind the curtain Yet I’m awake perpetually Miles of asphalt vacant It belongs to me When the sun runs rampant I relinquish it reluctantly Dying quasars gleaming Exclusively for me A million suns rotating Under weight of gravity A sleeping world doesn’t see When my day has begun The night belongs to me It’s in this that I’m undone
