You won't be there...

View On Black

 

Lyric mood this evening:

And i know full well you won't be there.

You won't be in the street, in the hum that buzzes

from the arc lamps at night, nor in the gesture

of selecting from menu, nor in the smile

that lightens people packed into teh subway,

nor in the borrowed books, nor in see-you-tomorrow.

...

and i know full well you won't be there,

nor here inside, in the prison where I still hold you,

nor outside, in this river of streets and bridges.

You won't be there at all, you won't even be a memory,

and when I think of you I'll be thinking a thought

that's obscurely trying to recall you.
