Quiet days / Slow march past of the minutes
Remorseless progression / of the hours
The sun burns out / in a mock tropic sky
The sands run down / and time holds its breath
Waiting, ever waiting for the stranger in uniform
To shatter the mirror-still days
Quiet days / counting falling leaves
Stripping petals / from a scrap of bush
Nights under the trees / hiding from the world
Singing wild songs / to a gypsy moon
Waiting, ever waiting for the stranger in uniform
To shatter the cut-crystal days
Quiet days / sunrise leaps from tree to tree
A small boy with a fishing rod / re-lives jam-jar days
Ripples smooth away / the wrinkled image
Waiting for history / to rewrite the page
Waiting, ever waiting for the stranger in uniform
to shatter the diamond-cut days
Quiet country days / in a honeymoon paradise
Raindrops / dancing tiptoe on the glass
Clouds hang heavy / as time and history
Hiding in each other / in autumn 1939
Waiting, ever waiting for the stranger in uniform
To shatter the looking glass days
