Shadows of Tinker Street
I watched
As the long winter shadows
Grew past the travelers on the green
Touching the tinker street stores
Like an actor in a play
The evening light dimmed
While the early night lights appeared
One by one by one
Lighting up
All the stores on Tinker Street
As I listened
To the sound of music and drums
Filter past the growing crowd
The local Tinker Street musicians
Gathered once again
For another evening’s performance
All these things painted a picture
As I watched a mystical vision
Of shadows and visitors and musicians
And of course the townsfolk
Swirl and mix into the Woodstock night
It was flawless
The perfect country street
Magically remembering its roots
And passing them on
During a dreamy cool wintry night
All to the delight
Of Tinker Street
