Clever Hans

I was born into a circle
Widening with every single breath we take
Making all our big mistakes together
We were thick as thieves in the getaway


So, I was torn up
When you said, ‘Enough is enough’


Waking up outside, I felt the morning
Light subside, as I wandered toward the hay
It’s funny how I gain this new importance
When you watch me watch the lines move on your face


So, I prayed
That you would stay


Kicking up some blossoms in a field now
I remember the crowds as they came
And, there’s something more to see on the horizon
A ball of fire, falling slowly from the day

But, you’ve gone away
