Going to a place

Get some space

In a hollow land


Searching up the rack

Loose my back

And be good again


Standing at the mirror

Fell a tear

For the one I knew


There I stood a while

Mourned the child

Who fell into me


Clutched his denim coat

Buttons broke

He began to cry


Why’d you go so far

Out the yard

You ran ‘cross the street


You sold all my toys

For the noise

You call mystery


And so far away

Your head lay

To the coming news


Columns east and west

Cross your chest

Where you gonna go


You’ll wake up again

Near the end

I'll stay in the yard
