Nightwalker from Songs Of by nathaniel russell

we don’t wear our boots to bed
we don’t want want to see too far ahead
we don’t wear our shoes to sleep
so that we step lightly through our dreams

we don’t stay awake too long
only to sing a love song
we don’t walk above the street
float two feet below the people we meet

and so long so long worry
and goodbye troubled ease
and blow away your wish your dream
invisibility

when we slide right into place
we don’t see the dark, recognize a face
sleeping in the shadow light
woken by the sound, the color of night

meet me on the right hand side
under the bench under the sky
we’ll peel back the sidewalk skin
pull up the concrete up to our chins

and so long so long worry
and goodbye troubled ease
and blow away your wish your dream
invisibility
