Traffic Lights Songtext
von Deleyaman

Again the traffic lights that skim thy swift
Unfractioned idiom immaculate sigh of stars
Beading thy path condense eternity
We have seen night lifted in thine arms


Under thy shadow by the piers I waited
Only in darkness is thy shadow so clear
The city′s fiery parcels all undone
Already, snow submerges an iron year

Oh, sleepless as the river under thee
Vaulting the sea, the prairies dreaming sod
Unto us lowliest sometime sweep descend
And of the curveship lend a myth to God

Under thy shadow by the piers I waited
Only in darkness is thy shadow so clear
The city's fiery parcels all undone
Already, snow submerges an iron year
