Timeless Towns and Haunted Places

(Nutra Stick Productions, 2003)

Dimly Lit

 


I found a little spot in the sun
That I can stare at and no tears will run
And it don’t care
That I stare
Nor does anyone
They just let me have my fun
With the dimly lit spot

I found a little spot in a tree
I climb up to the top and I be
And it’s a way
That I can play
And no one can see
And if they could I’d still be free
In the dim-lit park tree

And everything has a price
So I’m willing to write a song in a small town in Scotland
On a park bench dimly lit
Even if I’m still jet-lagged in the morning and it will never be a hit
Get back!

And soon I’ll have a seat in a plane
All asleep, I can read my book or go sane
But no matter,
The latter
Will never be gained
As my interest starts to wane
From the dimly lit book
