White Night

from Lifeboat by Alex Gage's Flagship

lyrics

We came to see
What it meant to believe
in a heartbeat
And ten thousand sights
Were there to prove my eyes right
tonight

On that one white night
The city was dressed in light
And I thought that I heard
That same old familiar voice

Clowns ascended in the alleyways
Birthday cake was served with tea
that Thursday night
And a Rainbow cascaded
Oh, the work of my brother's hands
left my mouth dry

I turned to my friend
I could see the stars in his head
and, oh! how I envied him!
Why don't I belong?
I didn't come to smear the throng
I didn't want them to be wrong

The queue was long
Steeped in anticipation
You taste Forever
On your breath

When I was led behind the curtain
I would look upon the line on exhibition
I turned my head

On that one white night
The city was dressed in light
And I thought that I heard
That same old familiar voice
calling me

These days I try to think about it
And I try not to give it meaning–
For me
But who is to say
Beauty, when you call, never stays
It’s not meant to be owned by you, or me,
or anyone

But one white night
The city was dressed in light
I thought that I heard
The same old familiar voice

For one white night
The city was dressed in light
And I thought that I heard
That same old familiar voice
