Behind fares bold merchants bear
their trade to pigeon beaks.
The sumggled secrets hidden there
bring sugar souls their peace.
Clouds of dark that cloak the heart
and shadow old dreams forlorn
turn to cotton candy art
when Captain Snow sails the horn.
Chorus:
Under the sky's wide oceans
When the hollow morning calls
There's no future in devotion
to the devil's protocol.
In the daylight's growing hype
center stage awaits it's late
the curtain drawn, the warning lights
the workday crutch in place.
Flush cheeks and answered color
stepping out among the crowd
a burst of genius hovers
in a spell of borrowed proud.
The magic conversation
the climb up vision stairways.
A poet's sphere sagacious here
while the journey back awaits.
Back where the mood dispenses
the soul returns to hide
and in the gloom defenseless
small voices cry for lines.....
Chorus:
Under the sky's wide oceans
When the hollow morning calls
there's no future in devotion
to the Devil's protocol.
Small voices cry for lines
small voices cry for lines.......fade

People don't run out of dreams they just run out of time.
