Say goodbye

When the twilight seeps in
and darkness takes the field
lowers itself onto the earth
like a battered shield

On the windswept highway
that looks like a slippery seal
with sailing clouds overhead
only the lights in the harbour are real

     Leave me at the busstop
     in the wind and rain
     say goodbye
     walk away and
     don't turn round to wave.

We're all afraid of dying
alone for our last stand
I'll walk awhile beside you and
I'll just squeeze your hand

     and I'll leave you at the busstop
     etc.
