The Warmest Skies
Summer skies around the world

Keep crying
Clean the sins
Of infested lands
Congested life
Shattered dreams
But he sells sandwiches and juice
tea and biscuits
A brown chocolate man
moulded with softness
on a Virgin train
From the north to the south
To the heart of London
No bridge is falling
But new bridges are built
Reaching the warmest skies.
