Analysis of Resignation Road
I walked to the end of the boulevard
Damp with rain, I traced the arcing light
I thought I might find you waiting for me
Alone and awake, in the depths of the night
While leaves grew over the lintel
Red and golden, encircling the park
I passed through the doorway to the water
Someone was calling, a voice that echoed in the dark
And the dream city kept revolving
Untroubled by human hopes or fears
Maybe I loved you, a long time ago
My heart is inscribed with the passage of years
