(by Michael Grimes) Darkness falls and the wind dies down The city puts on it s twinkling crown The roses in the garden Whisper over to you Step into the evening light Despite your intuition A touch of madness, your thoughts disturbed Seeing clearly, you're out of sight Silently, you melt away Find you're way down towards the brink Something slipped into your drink Distorts the people, twists the shapes
The rising moon begins to sink The sound of footsteps, the sound of drums Drives you past the restless slums Alley figures scurry through Watching eyes look over you But silently, you melt away Carnival rides spinning round Draws you in towards the sound Dancing devils, confusing forms Twist your feelings towards the ground Silently, you melt away
