Listen "Where My Light Shines"
Episode Synopsis
This is about what a streetlight sees at night. Lyrics: Shiny red car speeding across the town without a care at all Weeping women covers her face to hide her tears of sorrow Listing old man wrestles a walker and weaves his way in the crowd. Loving couple cuddles not even aware anyone else is around Young girl on a bike riding too fast takes charge of the space she requires Clearly drunk stranger talks loud and brash to no one person at all Smelly garbage truck rolls pounding the road on its daily route Whining police car heads in haste to another and another case Chorus Don’t know where they’re going or where they’ve been Only see a flash and then they’re gone again. Where my light shines i can only see them track Its dark in the front and dark in the back Where my light shines from dusk to dawn Where my light shines Blaring fire truck honks, wails and flashes and plows through traffic in haste Care free young musician plays harmonica filling the air with delight Boys look for girls and girls look for boys and wait for one to move first Sign posted says the cat is lost and answers to the name of Hopper Barely awake dog walkers are out and the dog lifts his leg just below. Streaking shadows of flying black bats menace those who notice at all Hapless bugs are attracted to gather and dance with no impact or cause Secret cameras scan a wide field of vision seeing what no-one will watch
