Delay Trees – “Light Pollution”

December 23, 2016

Watching the jets high up sparkle like the stars
We live under a dome that keeps space and earth apart
You were sucked into a cloud and I thought that you drowned
Into the light pollution and never found a way out

Watching the cars paint the highway red and white
My eyes are filled with comets burning warm and bright
In the middle of this commotion I hope that you found
Your way through the light pollution, far away from us

Watching the fog gently take over the street
Penetrating kindly through buildings and me
You were seeking for answers, seeking for anything
Above the light pollution you found a new meaning

Sad that I can't find a video. I love the way this song builds. It came on one night as I was driving out of the Badlands onto Moonlight Rim. The valley lay below, the city's light-jewels spreading out behind dark hills and half obscured in mist.
