Dingy Days

That sunrise, that sunset, those winds across the beaches

That light, that dark, those most forgetful times of mourning

The singer, the songwriter, the lyricist par-excellence 


One night and one day there were many made-up stories

One high-life, one low-life, one crowd of delinquents in between

Then, when the door was opened, when the stairs were climbed


That card, that lighthouse, that must be for Plymouth Sound

That book, that meditation, that oh so so wanting just to be

The sear, the searcher, the one reaching out for all what is


One grain of sand, one boat with paddles, one day doing escape

One ebb tide, one flo tide, one road right alongside the estuary

When the way is open, when the way is closed, still no one passes by
