Stained Glass

Nickeled and dimed

Taken for a ride around the park

At least you had time

to see the lamps come on

Beyond the dark

Stained glass lets the light in

But I can’t see a thing

Stained glass

There’s nothing beyond this brilliant make-believe

So I stay inside this dream

Quicksilver mind

Fish in sunlit water under your prow

Paddle the oar

There’s only one between you

Parting the clouds
