lyrics

Late one night by chance I spied
a stranger, yet familiar guy
Twas distant down an alleyway
half shadow cast all black and grey
The night was thick with humming wires
street lamps swayed to touch the spires
Bedroom windows dimmed like ember
in December’s frown

Pre legendary then
my phantom friend
Still lurking 'round the bin
in street light dim
my phantom friend

Amidst the poetry of night
a staggering form, no fancy flight
did wander, thus did intersect
distracting me as I reflect
Like exclamation out of place
he steered his form to match my pace
I turned too late, he’s at my side,
though drunk, doth syncopate my stride

Dare not glance peripheral
to not see what’s visible
beyond what I could perpetrate
increase my pace
I deviate.

Racing running
my lair swelling in my sight
Up the stairway
turning on my bedroom light
footsteps echo
down the dusty corridors of night

Down the hallway
closing all the curtains
and I block the doorways
still I hear him coming
Breathing, stumbling
slow across the floors.

And as I opened up my door
to search the dusty corridors
A phantom standing, not quite clad
save railway boots and cowboy hat
With flannel shirt and blue jean vest
just looming there all Rogeresque.
Phantom friend
