Whirlpool's End

The sun came out & hung above

Over our heads but far enough to see

A bomb exploding in another town

Children choking on a poison cloud

While on the streets, where lovers once walked,

Side by side in idle talk

Bullets fall like unholy rain

People change as the panic sets in -

A frightened baby by her dead mother's side

In a brutal world where there's nowhere

To run, hide or cry -

Now nothing feels the same way -

Feels like it's changing again -

Upon a street with no name

It's hard to find it again -

I ran as fast as my feet could fly

Down country lanes where I took my time-

Time like a hound snapping at my heels

I got past thinking so I could feel -

Feels like a film playing in my head

And I kept rolling down green Surrey hills -

In Spring-

Now nothing feels the same way

Feels like I'm changing again

Upon a street with no name

It's hard to find me again -

The sun came out & hung above, over our heads

but far enough to see
