THE IN BETWEEN

By Rich Collins



Could they be the things we see imagination or reality

The endless sky the deep blue sea

The garden flower the bumble bee

It is our dreams that set us free

Creepy crawlies things that fly

Dreams we awake and wonder why.

 

A black and white film

A coloured tv set

Enter the dream and place your bet

The moon i look at

The sun i dare not

Now i suppose you want the lot

 

I love the smell of boiling tar

But not last orders at the bar

Big Ben ticks and the MP lies

And the world is seen through our childrens eyes.

 

I hope i duck and stay out of sight

For if the eye that burns the lace

Should catch a glimpse of my sacred face

Then i know that dreams of places

Shall be lost with stolen faces

 

Sometimes you drift, tell me where do you go

When reality is gone tell me all that you know

Voices and figures that call from the shadows

I want to share all that you keep inside

Let me taste your tears

Let me share in your pain

As we both surface

Take me down again.
