When I picked up the phone An alien voice was on the line, So I looked in my address book, Wanting to reach a friend of mine, But someone had substituted a hieroglphic style; The letters grew and flew around As my shoes began to smile. The letters all got bigger, While some they stayed so small, Exploding in multicolour for Peter and for Paul. One hundred faces watched like spies As clock hands stopped in time, I was walking over galaxies Inside a nursery rhyme, And you were there beside me But invisible to all around. You spoke in tongues of patterns, While trees all hummed with sound. I navigated rivers flowing outside my door, While people in the woodwork, Dissolved in semaphore, The handle was reptilian but your face was on my mind, I tried to speak and waved my arms But your name I couldn't find. And everything was awesome with a newborn beauty; To get back, where streets are streets And love you was my duty. Now if we meet 'neath changing skies Of electric cobwebbed space, I'll see it all within your eyes And rainbows in your face. (2003 Ed Drury & Bard of Ely) |
