The Arches

Bow Wow view map

A song for the ::November:: Challenge - A Song, A Poem or A Proverb

::and Part of my "I Myself Me" Self Portrait Collection::


UNDERNEATH THE ARCHES

Underneath the Arches
I dream my dreams away.
Underneath the arches,
On cobblestones I lay.
Ev'ry night you'll find me,
Tired out and worn.
Happy when the daylight comes creeping,
Heralding the dawn.

Sleeping when it's raining,
And sleeping when it's fine,
I hear the trains rattling by above.
Pavement is my pillow,
No matter where I stray.
Underneath the Arches
I dream my dreams away.


---------------------------------
I wish I had taken my wireless remote with me,
I had a guy walking his dog in stiches, watching as I pressed the shutter on the camera
then leaped over a stream, ran around two walls and climbed into position,
and all before the shutter delay went off
:(
