shop window mannequin
proud and silent
tall and lonely
placed in rows
well dressed and staring
at the passers by
the evening wends
the feeling bends
and all the children cry
the music fades
the silent shades
conspire on the sly
and all the while the wheels still turn
for wood that never yet shall burn
and lazy dancing in the sky
is not enough for you and i
