Streetlights

When the streetlights are out
I have no doubts
All the constellations
Wash away all my frustrations
When the streetlights are out
I have no doubts
My troubles, they don’t last
I don’t worry about my past
Present or future
Nature or nurture
When the streetlights are out
I have no doubts
Clear speckled inky sky
And then i never wonder why
And my head clears
For a thousand years
Of light and Gemini
And Aquarius fly
Held together in a gentle web
That cradles the sighs in the empty ebb
When the streetlights are out
I have no doubts
It’s just the section before my street
Where sanity and clarity meet
Above the field of tall wheatgrass
Where i can watch the Big Dipper pass
And the Ram and the Bull tilt and whirl
In the lapse of time, in the eyes of a girl
Where the lights are out
Where there are no doubts
