Goodnight Liverpool God Bless Sweet Dreams
Oh chestnut candy horse mane
Do your top button up blow the
red rum fluff away and jump the
brook
As I find it in the quiet best in-between
when the traffic stops at red lights
To detect the frequency of the waves
pitching and cresting from the blades
and turbine of the wind farm way up
high on the hilltop
The nurses footsteps walking the ward
beat beside the Doctor calling official
time of death
An unfurled rainbow green , red , blue
and orange flag coat of arm's celebrating
intertwined
Look Mr Fantastic ferrell Fox is swaggering
up and through the part residential city center
back alleys preening his whisker tips
Listen how a distant echo of a siren can be
heard and a blue flashing light seen as 1
of the 3 critical emergency services hastily
speed to a horror scene only for the brave
See under moonlight how menacing shadows
of rats the size of bunny cat's scale the walls
to make the gothic bird's above a building
rooftop scowl the night away
Look a man with his hand out hailing a taxi
cab saying to the driver take me home quickly
I'm back at work at 5am not doubt with a
massive hangover in check
Listen to the drunken homeless man arguing
with himself whilst playing rock , paper , scissors
over who gets to suck the bone or the cardboard
in order to sleep warm
Goodnight Liverpool
Sweet Dreams
God Bless
It's way past my bedtime
I'll see you in the morning
When the day shifts story a new begins
