He Walked Through the Dew - And Also the Trees

He walked through the dew and his feet were getting wet

He looked up above and saw the coming day

And he said to himself as though rehearsing lines

I’ll go You stay away

He pulled his collar up and tucked his scarf into his jacket

Took out a cigarette and smoked it to the sky

And watched the morning stars dissapear

And the moon and the owls that float around up high above him.

And the hedges that were not cut dripping down with wet

And the blackberries that had rotted on the thorn

He said I won’t forget it and don’t regret

I gave something to you

You gave it back to me And all this time I thought of you

Your dress was flying in the dew

And the shadows say

Come to me Come to me Some day

With your dress dried by the sun

And no one is here but you and I We watched the aeroplanes fly across here

But think of me sometimes as well

And all this time I thought of you

Your dress was flying in the dew

And the shadows still say

Come to me This way

With your dress dried by the sun

And no one is here but you and I We watched the aeroplanes fly across here

But think of me sometimes as well
