Summer Night

Summer Night

Oh summer night
Walk me home
Dodge'em shuttle-cocks
Keep to the shadows
Under the tamarind
And behind the dark side 

Of the lamppost hide me 

In the cool, tonight
Weary, the kids are 
Blurry 'n badminton bright
To my senseless eyes
With a day's hunger
And a weekly payload
Dead 'n alive 'n old

I, a victor today
Sapped of all joy, why?
My yesterdays disguise
As my tomorrows, why?
Answers await in bed
After this last mile, I
Walk on home, tonight
