Nights in ragged flannel

Nights in bleached cotton
ending much to soon
daylight long forgotten
living only with the moon

Beauty I've always seen
there for the taking
but a taker I've never been
just a dream before awaking

Gazing at other early birds
traveling in the dark
are they going homewards
or are they living in the park

Lust for life gets evaporated
each day a lonesome emptiness
mutual time cruelly prorated 
never any daylight blitheness










Nights in ragged flannel
to short to get some rest
enjoyment on deferral 
an aging heart in my chest

Beauty I've always known
shivering by the lac of light
still our light bulb love has grown
knowing the future is going to be a fight
