And it seemed like
There were fires flying with me
Until dawn –
And I didn’t find ‘owt.
Everything round,
It moved and trembled and sang
Until morn –
And I didn’t find ‘owt.
That night
We went out of our minds
A-walkin’ –
And I didn’t find ‘owt.
Strange eyes
Not daring to look at each other,
Our fate –
And I didn’t find ‘owt.
