Because I Never Came In

from Listener's Choice - Best of 2020 by Bill White

lyrics

In the sparkless rays of starlight
The sun is breaking through
Nothing ever gets older
Because nothing is ever new
Still I can hear you calling
Sensing your wicked grin
But Im not coming out, my friend
Because I never came in

The moon doesnt seem so far away
When it is reflected at the top of the ceiling
When you break through the top of the tent
It is an entirely different feeling

In the sparkless glory
Of an embered star
We see but cant remember
Who we were, who we are
Will there be another flesh
Arraying you and me?
Or are we just broken glades of phosphorous
Dissolving in the sea?

The bridge was under water
When I made my midnight run
I crossed the Hudson River
with a geiger counter and a gun

In the sparkling rays of sunlight
The sun is coming through
Nothing ever gets older
Because there is never anything new
Still I can hear them calling
Sensing their wicked grins
Im not coming out, my friend
Because I never came in
