Inside honeycombed walls
I hoped to make you safe
You are just aching
To make your great escape
Fly off into sunshine
Across meadows and the trees
Down along the river bank
Feel that cool cool breeze
When evening starts to creep
The bright lights pull you in
Music is a thief
Dancing skin to skin
You are young and innocent
Full of wonder for today
No fear for tomorrow
Let a moment get away
Five feels like twenty
Heavy on my lids
Life full and plenty
Until the centre gives
