Day For Night
Shooting the last scene
day for night
Shadows appear
where they were not before
Whispers in my ear
tell me to pull away
A career in lights
critics are on my side
Study a new piece
swansong of opening nights
What I hold is near
never to be seen again
Tear it all down
the crew is going home
Occasional email
trickle to a fade
Now I can lay down
and rise to a dynasty
Shooting the last scene
day for night
The work it speaks
for itself now
Valleys and peaks
lifescape that's winding down
