And the lights lie tumbled out like gemsThe moon is nothing but a toothless grinFloating out on the evening windThe smell of sweat and lube oil pervades the nightAnd the rush of life in flight at the speed of lightA million footsteps whispe ringA guitar sounds -- some voices singSmoke on the breeze -- eyes that stingFar in the east a yellow cloud bank climbsStre tching away to be part of tomorrow's timeEarthbound while everything expandsSo many grains of sandSlipping from hand to han dCatching the light and falling into darkThe world fades out like an overheard remarkIn the falling darkLight pours from a million radiant livesOff of kids and dogs and the hard-shelled husbands and wivesAll that glory shining around and we're all caught taking a diveAnd all the beasts of the hills around shout, 'such a waste!Don't you know that from the first to the la st we're all one in the gift of grace!'
