Description











The rain soaks through my pores,

And covers my bones,

I am lost in this town,

That's all I know.



He steps out from the shadows,

With the perfectly coiffed hair,

And the cat eyes,

What an elegant affair.



That sexy leather jacket,

That looks like James Dean,

I am taken aback,

By the magic within.



Not a connection,

Not love at first sight,

I'm just taken away,

By the loneliness of the night.



Pub life is for friends,

For people you know,

Or strangers who yearn,

It's a story, not a show.



He buys me a pint,

Doesn't bother to charm me,

He looks bored and unafraid,

He is the ship, I am the sea.



And the next moment in his car,

Driving away from the city,

Not going too far,

He's not you, what a pity.



I kiss him, un-enthused,

Who does he look like?

With a warm cold smile?

David Bowie, the enigma,

I'll take this for a while.
