about

A motif. A mystery. A mission failed every day.

lyrics

CHORUS
A pillow on the footpath lay
And that seemed wrong to me
For a footpath surely is no place
A pillow ought to be

A cloud of fluff and linen
For to rest your weary head
Would be much better suited
To a warm and comfy bed

Inside a cozy bedroom
In a cozy little home
A sanctuary from trouble
In the cradling hands of foam

CHORUS

What strange bird would build their nest
Beneath the fall of boots?
The well-heeled tread of well-heeled souls
In their fancy tailored suits?

Who'd lay themselves down to sleep
Beneath the pavement cracks?
With no soft comfort left to give
To soothe their aching backs?

CHORUS

No sign was there of they who
Dreamed dreams upon the pad
Their shuffling ghost had shuffled off
To somewhere strange and sad

With nothing left behind them
But this soft shell at the last
A silent scream for help ignored
By all who walked on past

CHORUS
