family breadfruit tree, lonely in the night
darkness once again prevails over all mankind
outside, dad’s blue car shivers in the rain
and I stand there, outside of the silver fence, re-visiting pain
this is a re-run, time after time
such is the flip side of life
someone you love is always saying good-bye
male cousins cruising in the dark
absolute silence, dogs on strike, refusing to bark
taxis going to and fro with bright tail lights
radio stations static at midnight
it always ends – yours and mine
this is the ONLY flip side of life
somebody is always spilling tears and saying goodbye
