FAWM is over, but I was walking around Washington Square Park and a song came out anyway. It even matches one of the weekly challenges I never did in February.
lyrics
The gold one sets birthing tall silhouettes
Fills our steps with the glow of an ill kept secret
Cheers and tears are soaked up by stone
And settle like silt in an old city's bones
And the red bricks run across this town
I'm circling the park with men losing their suits
They can give up their leash and keep dogs in pursuit
The light never fades, it just loses its day
And the sidewalk's not hurt, it's just colored and frayed
And the Earth's slow tug makes the sun fall down
But a brother's love keeps us on the ground
And the red bricks run across this town
And the buildings rise, and lift our eyes
As we fall down
As we fall down
And we'll burst forth light, from the greatest heights
We won't slow down
No we won't slow down
The tall floor creaks and the low floor hums
Night beds the father but it rouses the sun
Trade your mug for a glass and we'll never run dry
Turn your back to that rose-colored sky
And the Earth's slow tug makes the sun fall down
But a brother's love keeps us on the ground
And the red bricks run across this town
