Meet you on the other side

another cold winter day begins
sleepy eyes look out my window
to see the ragging rivers of smoke
and steel; I swim to the other bank

the park trees blossom, the sky clears
for you, as you appear from the gates
I want to sing, I want to scream
drunk completely with your scents

the sun floods my mind, I know you
not your name but your game
And I'm hungry, so hungry my love
Will you fill me with your dreams?

In autumn I always think of those years
as remote as those white brick houses
In autumn at dawn I walk down with you
through those streets full of fears

And I look into your eyes as tired as mine
And I love this city as tired as I
