Jewel City

from Big Foot by Jonathan Crayford

lyrics

It's midnight in our town
Our visitors have gone
Onto the still black road
They're going

Now the stars gaze past
The moon around our city
Full of people either
Awake or sleeping

Now the sun will go through gravity and science
And what there is is a night to feel love
Think of love
Now the star of the day glows

It's daylight in our house
Comes into our door
There's beauty in the form of
My couch

I find it comforting
Our environment
Contentness is welcome to me

My happiness reborn
From the little dawn
Of the Earth and Sky
Above me

Now the Sun falls down
Through gravity and science
And what there is is a night to feel love
Think of love
Now the stars of the night glow

Daytime and nighttime go
Daytime and nighttime know

It's twilight in our town
Jewel city found
At the end of a treasure hunt

Now the neon lights
Fill the place with colour
A city full of cars and busses

Jewel city founded
Community construction
And what there is
Is symbol of dove

After life before
Another civilisation
And what we don't need
Is a nuclear war

Think of lore
Now the commanders applaud
Now the wood pigeon calls
Jewel city never falls
