• You exit the house, close the door behind you, lock it
    walk down the garden path
    out the gate
    The moon looks down knowingly on you on this country's starry night

    You walk through the streets
    No-one around now
    Sleepy town full of sleepy people
    Except for you

    Further on you press
    The twinkling lights, smiling faces and warmth
    slink into the darkness behind you
    But you don't see

    Nearer now, you push through a patch of heather
    and reach the cliff edge
    There's the moon again, caressing the water with light
    You sigh, and bid the world goodbye

    You jump
    and fall
    and crash

    Tomorrow morning they find a dog barking in an empty cottage
    And then, lying beside the calm, peaceful sea water
    they find you
