keep the streets empty for me











Memory comes when memory's old

I am never the first to know

Following the stream up North

Where do people like us float


There is room in my lap

For bruises, asses, handclaps

I will never disappear

Forever, I'll be here


Whispering

Morning, keep the streets empty for me


I’m laying down and eating snow

My fur is hot, my tongue is cold

On a bed of spider web

I think of how to change myself


A lot of hope in a one man tent

There's no room for innocence

Take me home before the storm

Velvet moths will keep us warm


Whispering

Morning, keep the streets empty for me


Uncover our heads and reveal our souls

We were hungry before we were born

  3. Yes Ooli they are the lyrics ( I think they are right )...I am concerned that I have been a little too literal in my interpretation.....I am glad you like it Wil :-)
    I did add an extra page, now you have 3 blank pages in your 'sign in' area, shall we all make additions to those pages too?

  5. It was challenging to integrate with Wil's laconic art, but I think you did a great collaboration! Very rich and evocative! What's the technique that you've used?
