A painted scene view of a street A large city, no crime, no deceit An autumn day pastels and grace Buildings loom ominous, hold them at bay
The image haunts though no one wants Caged in serenity as freedom taunts Always an autumn day pastel and grey Can't reach the buildings holding me at bay
Pay to get in, Pray to get out Now that you're in, let me out
See the wind blows everything's frozen Still life of peace a life they've chosen Wanting the wind, the snow or the sun Trade in freedom for a world that has none
