Looking back on my future
There was fire in the air and water on the earth
Looking ahead to my past
Earth was air and fire water.
Through winding country roads we drove
And I closed my eyes to see the colour red
Red as it remains
Red and still the same
The blood that flows within me
Staring at the road unfolding ahead
Trees and fields of brown and green
Whoosh past relentlessly
Reflecting and refracting
Accepting the light that danced around our moving space
Seatbelts burning skin
As a song on the radio begins
She smiles and sings,
And I'm taken in
With the city whispering its promises to me,
Here's where you can be all you can be
She's gone now, she's gone now
But I'm still here, I'm still here
Still lost in skyscraper shadows
You'll find me in skyscraper shadows
