Confessions Of A Streetlight

Mark Berube


Now the sun is splitting shadows
As it pours through the blinds
And the room is suddenly a shade of gold
I can see your face lie on its side
A strand of hair across your eye
You flower in the early morning glow

I know
I've got to bring the fire home

Now the evening's full of chemicals
And rolling jokes with strangers
I find my arms tied up with the night
I could fill my life with spectacle
And slow dance with the shadows
And give confession to a streetlight

I know
I've got to bring the fire home

Oh that day
A caveman came
And brought home a little hot dancing flame
Oh my my, oh yes yes
That was the day
The night took a holiday
A long long holiday
'Til sunrise

Now the moon is splitting shadows
As it pours through the streets
These early morning hours feel alone
I can see your face lie on its side
A strand of hair across your eye
You flower in the early morning glow
