In the dark street with its glaring lights
Deserted pavements, cars that multiply
I see two of everything in sight
Twenty dogs two owls that fly by night
Two black cats with amber eyes run by
In the dark street with its glaring lights
As I walk I sing to cats’ delight
I sing Joan of Arc,I wonder why
I see two of everything in sight
The song takes seven minutes,or it might
If I sang like Leonard , if I sighed
In the dark street with its glaring lights
No-one can detect my wandering sight
Yet now and then I wail or emit cries
I see more than you do with insight
These little deaths mount up as our time flies
In the end we step with shuttered eyes
In the dark street with its errant lights
I see two of everything in sig
How my heart sings
