Ellipse and Lines Lyrics

As you run across an underpass

To reach a train station

Distancing me

I can feel this day closing

On your bruised and sleazy city

At the coming approach of the night

I see your hair stream out behind you

And you move with such high speed

You will disappear soon

Once I dreamed about

Ellipses and lines

They were fading away into

Such a dappled sunset sky over you

The same gloaming sky you just leave behind

I stop on a dime, can't find you

When I look down right at you

Can't resist your witty comments

Your natural flair for

Funny remarks

When you appear in the doorway

Silent for some moments

With your questioning look

From those distant arms of your city

Trying to learn its secrets or

To sort your thoughts

And I can trace out

Ellipses and lines

Fading away to

Such a dappled sunset sky over you

And you probably won't realize

Realize, realize it
