A poem of underground wall

 F    C        Dm     C   
The last train is nearly due,  
    Am   E7        Am        
The underground is closing soon,  
    F      C      Dm     C         
And in the dark deserted station  
Am       E7   Am   
Restless in anticipation,  
  F                C        F  C   G Am   
A man waits in the shadows.  
 
 
    F        C    Dm       C   
His restless eyes leap and scratch,  
   Am       E7       Am        
At all that they can touch or catch,  
    F      C        Dm     C         
And hidden deep within his pocket,  
Am       E7     Am   
Safe within his silent socket,  
   F               C       F  C   G Am   
He holds a colored crayon.  
 
 
    F        C        Dm    C   
Now from the tunnel's stony womb,  
    Am       E7       Am        
The carriage rides to meet the groom,  
    F     C        Dm      C        
And opens wide and welcome doors,  
       Am  E7     Am               
But he hesitates, then withdraws  
F             C           Am          
Deeper in the shadows.  
 
 
                                    
And the train is gone suddenly  
   C                             
On wheels clicking silently  
       F                Em Dm    
Like a gently tapping lita-ny,  
       Am                           
And he holds his crayon rosary  
F              C        Am    
Tighter in his hand.  
 
 
    F        C      Dm       C   
Now from his pocket quick he flashes  
    Am     E7     Am                 
The crayon on the wall he slashes,  
F      C      Dm   C        
Deep upon the advertising,  
  Am     E7     Am              
A single worded poem comprised  
   F             C       
Of four letters.  
 
 
        F        C         Dm         C   
And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding,  
    Am    E7        Am                  
The poem across the tracks rebounding  
F        C      Dm   C        
Shadowed by the exit light  
    Am        E7     Am              
His legs take their ascending flight  
   F        C         Am       E7     Am                         
To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night.
