The Hidden Man

I want to stay where the summer goes

Change my name and change my clothes

Stand in the light of forgotten windows

Out of reach down the corridors

The hidden man

The hum of a forest and a lost perfume

The streets of a rainy afternoon

Eyes like a tide of liquid blue

We talk about things I almost knew

The hidden man

Just walk ahead in the winter haze

Smoke a cigarette as the light decays

The child is father to the man he says-

Silhouette glows in the sunsets blaze

The hidden man
