The Other Time

(Ian Edwards)


The heavy drizzle of rain spent
puts me at ease
puts me at ease in fading moments
It reminds me of the rent
A blue mirage on the streetside
A mural? so...
A mural so accurate a likeness
I awoke on the bus ride
Another time I might have worried
another time I might have walked
I will call your name
I will call your name inside
Oh, the other time
What possessed the season's change?
I'll buoy the way
I'll buoy the arduous way to safety
I'll forgive the error I made
The never-finished cobblestone
only a dream--
only a dreamer's
closed eyes could see
You'll find me on my own
Another time I might have worried
another time I might have walked
I will call your name
I will call your name inside
Oh, the other time
