Fallen

In darkness I go roving
All night I never sleep.
Roaming through the suburbs
Into blackness deep.
Way out along the towpath
The drab night never ends.
Moonbeams are my saviour
And the shadows are my friends.
No stray soul walks beside me
No soft hand holds my own.
My dreams lie in the wastelands
My mind to stars was thrown.
Cruel world is far behind me
In her fallen disarray.
How long can man hold on here?
We slowly slip away.
