You have the street <br />At this lonely night <br />All by your own feet <br />In this skimping light <br /> <br />If you will fall in love <br />So alone in the dark <br />It will be nothing of <br />Without complicated spark <br /> <br />You might be thinking <br />About that lovely someone <br />And to its passion linking <br />That never seems done <br />With fairy tales in its spell <br />And almost nearly true <br />But then you find reality is hell <br />And it's only you <br /> <br />Wake up be soon again <br />Everything you were before <br />Ghost of love you'd slain <br />And be normal and sure <br /> <br />Simplicity is just that <br />Everything quite in hope <br />You have just got what you've got <br />Into its own rightful scope <br /> <br />Wake up be soon again <br />What you were in the evening <br />Life is sometimes vain <br />When it complications bring <br /> <br />Simplicity is so much <br />If you know how to handle it <br />Take yourself into touch <br />Walk the line that doesn't split<br /><br />Peter S.
