My latest song. Thank you for listening.
Art-Salvador Dali
Concrete
Shame on the thoughts that took you away
Sad that the madness stopped your smile today
So many faces, nameless, just out for the ride
Skipping the track we like to play
It was a fickle song at the end of the day
Into the concrete, the focus of our dreams
I bought you a bouquet as the sun rose
You dropped in the gutter, with the weeds round your toes
Concrete folding, heavy in our minds
Too many people chiselled in stone
Too many souls thrown out in the road
Too many pavements calling you home
Caught on the cameras, neon and bright
You walked from the darkness, you needed the light
A heavy heart, drowning in clay
I sat in the park waiting for you
Moths on the seesaw, I'm sure that they knew
That the concrete made it too hard to stay
Too many people chiselled in stone
Too many souls thrown out in the road
Too many pavements calling you home
Ali Hammond original song. March 2021
