Night comes down and finds you aloneIn a space and time of your own,Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.Down the street the neon light shines,Offering refuge and hope to the blind,Who stumble in with no thought of tomorrow.Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low,And I end up looking for some winner goal.Yes I should know better but I can't say no.

A visible darkness grows up mountain paths;I lodge by the river gate high in a study,Frail cloud on a cliff edge passing the night.The lonely moon topples amid the waves;Steady, one after another, a line of cranes in flight.Howling over the kill, wild dogs and wolves.No sleep for me. I worry over battles-I have no strength to right the universe.
