Douglas Gwilym - Waiting for Ships

I miss the way we used to play
Hide and seek in the dark
With freight cars and store fronts
I'd make myself a disguise
And hide from you while you stare
Across a crowd of milling men
Right at me but not aware
Right at me but not aware

Waiting in line
Waiting for ships to
Slow down time
With the java and cigarettes
Slow down time

Forget what legs and arms are for
He can't quite remember what he hoped for
Forget what legs and arms are for
He can't quite remember what he hoped for

But this will have to do
This will have to do

I'd like to squeeze down that fire escape again and
Out into whatever takes us
Out into the town inverted
Out into the good space
There's a splash and a swirl
All the colonists scatter
But we climb over their heads
To rest on our backs under

Waiting in line
Waiting for ships to
Slow down time
With the java and cigarettes
Slow down time

Forget what legs and arms are for
He can't quite remember what he hoped for
Forget what legs and arms are for
He can't quite remember what he hoped for

But this will have to do
This will have to do
