Upon the hilltop
The sea is dark,
lights are blinking
The sky is stark
And forever calling.
The wind is smooth
and brushes away
things not done that
are hanging on your shoulders.
And through it all
A moment has gone, in your youth

Ticking away the moments
That make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours
In an off-hand way
