Good Night.

the night is getting darker
the air is growing cold
the clouds are slowly thickening
a killer's getting bold

the candle's fading slowly
the doors are locked up tight
the mothers put their kids to bed
men kiss their wives goodnight

a girl in Brooklyn's writing
a boy is making beats
a dog is howling at the moon
a cat's roaming the streets

a businessman is staying late
an intern is as well
a homeless man is murmering
the subways really smell

a student's closing up a book
a tourist pays a tab
a couple's kissing on the curb
a babysitter hails a cab

a bartender is cleaning up
a drunkard's stumbling out
a hipster lights a cigarette
a girlfriend starts to shout

a fiend is getting jittery
a late night dancer cries
a model does a line of coke
a woman hides her eyes

an artist tears the canvas down
a boyfriend makes a call
a restless child stares outside
a stranger's in the hall

flowers nowhere to be seen
trees are bare with no more green
ice is forming in a grate
teens are coming home too late
parents rest their worried heads
close their eyes and go to bed
girls finish their night routine
little boys begin to dream

where is everybody from?
what are all their names?
who did they all plan to be?
Deep down do we feel the same?

I stare out my window
It's foggy out tonight
The city's hidden in the cloud
I can't see all the lights

inspiration came tonight
when i was looking through
the window at the strangers
and the pictures of me and you

inspiration faded
it always ebbs and flows
and people go on living life
it's how the story goes

a candle is blown out
a dishwasher makes sound
a deep breath and a silent prayer
sleep is gradually found

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood night.
