Salt And Pepper
You stand alone beneath the city lights
A cat perched upon your shoulder high
The cars rush by like ever-fleeting kites
You watch the world and breathe a sigh
Your hair once black now salt and pepper
Each silver strand a verse an own poem
The flavors change you remain the keeper
Of memories seasoned with a touch of home
We're all someway salt and pepper
Longing for a world that was better
From windows high they see you there
A lonely silhouette against the glare
They young eyes are locked on their cells
People wait for phones to ring and thrill
They miss the song the silent city tells
The hidden beauty standing oh so still
You drift through crowds yet feel frustration
An island in a sea that doesn't care
The world speeds up you're in hesitation
A shadow yearning just to share the air
We're all someway salt and pepper
Longing for a world that was better
From windows high they see you there
A lonely silhouette against the glare
The chains of time around you tighten
Society's constraints begin to weigh
In your heart old memories enlighten
A spark of hope to guide you on your way
The chains of time around you tighten
Society's constraints begin to weigh
In your heart old memories enlighten
A spark of hope to guide you on your way
A cat perched upon your shoulder high
The cars rush by like ever-fleeting kites
You watch the world and breathe a sigh
Your hair once black now salt and pepper
Each silver strand a verse an own poem
The flavors change you remain the keeper
Of memories seasoned with a touch of home
We're all someway salt and pepper
Longing for a world that was better
From windows high they see you there
A lonely silhouette against the glare
They young eyes are locked on their cells
People wait for phones to ring and thrill
They miss the song the silent city tells
The hidden beauty standing oh so still
You drift through crowds yet feel frustration
An island in a sea that doesn't care
The world speeds up you're in hesitation
A shadow yearning just to share the air
We're all someway salt and pepper
Longing for a world that was better
From windows high they see you there
A lonely silhouette against the glare
The chains of time around you tighten
Society's constraints begin to weigh
In your heart old memories enlighten
A spark of hope to guide you on your way
The chains of time around you tighten
Society's constraints begin to weigh
In your heart old memories enlighten
A spark of hope to guide you on your way
