the long and heavy road it leads to nowhere nobody there no one at home just me alone on the heavy road the rain comes soft in a silver dress the fields turn green in their Sunday best gold in the gutter light on the stones birds on the wire singing dial tones and I go soft as weather through the low blue forever let it fall let it fold let the road turn gold little rainbows on the window little flowers in the wire i am walking i am listening to the world untie the house is breathing behind the door dust in the sunlight stars on the floor the kettle whispers the curtains bloom a yellow morning enters the room no one answers no one calls only rainlight on the walls and I go soft as weather through the low blue forever let it fall let it fold let the road turn gold little rainbows on the window little flowers in the wire i am walking i am listening to the world untie the clouds move slowly over aerials and wire the pylons kneel in electric fire a plane in the distance a coin in the moon the stars come loose from a silver spoon my shadow beside me not a ghost anymore just a long black ribbon at the edge of the door and I go soft as weather through the low blue forever let it fall let it fold let the road turn gold little rainbows on the window little flowers in the wire i am walking i am listening to the world untie no one at home no one at home rain on the flowers and me on the road no one at home no one at home the light getting wider and me on the road
