CRYSTAL CITY

CRYSTAL CITY

sometimes down the streets of dream

I see you heading towards Crystal City

where the sun doesn't need to shine

nor moon to illuminate dark nights

I watch the way you hesitate

pause in your resolve to reach the gates

turning around to see if I am following you

if I have remembered my promises

I know this goes on while we both sleep

that the city of bright lights is far away

years and years into the opaque future

but the promises I made remain true

this life is like a shedding skin

a tattered coat no longer fitting

it's what we both will leave behind

when the dream goes on in Crystal City
