Green Light

The green light across the sound,
Blinks in time with every pound,
How I ache, oh, how I ache,
My reaching arms begin to shake.

Money, glamour and glitz galore,
Just to find you on my shore,
Hundreds of faces,
Wandering places,
Only widen empty spaces.

The green light across the sound,
Blinks in time with every pound,
How I ache, oh, how I ache,
My firm resolve begins to quake.

How I touch you,
How I know you,
Your twinkling voice,
Your perfect face,
Tonight I'll know your embrace.

The green light across the sound,
Blinks in time with every pound,
How I ache, oh, how I ache,
My flawed plan begins to break.

Twisting corners,
Breaking speed,
Creating mourners,
Take no heed.

Things I thought I could achieve,
Disappear on my final eve,
All the love,
And all the blame,
Vanish with the green flame.
