Vacationist League: Music
Reel Late @ Night
(Immature Scientist / Vacationist League)
Reel Late at Night
When I fall awake
real late
at night
I find some light
and sit and write
about the day
that's come
or gone
in a poem or a song
or a letter to no one.
And dive into a stream
of thought
fjord to seek the source
of all
I've sought
as I race to chase
the currents tracing
I find the cold, cold water
bracing and erasing
and nothing springs to mind.
But what I find
within the folds
and seams
of my mind
as I scheme
away this night
to ease the fright
and glean some meaning
from my fitful dreaming
is that
If life's a parade
I want the horses behind me
If life's a charade
I want a mime to clue me
and if love's a game
I want to be on your team
