When All The Wheels Stop Turning

When all the wheels stop turning
The dust has settled too
The fire's no longer burning
And the evening sends the dew

When darkness roams the alleyways
The city slows it's breathing
A tune the lonely the piper plays
Gives souls the time for grieving

I talk of time when street lights dim
The world is gently sleeping
The quiet stirs the thoughts within
The secrets they are keeping

In smallest bedsit, Mansion grand
The song remains the same
To hold that special someones hand
While whispering their name

For world's of hurt are carried through
To darkest part of day
Until the sadness felt by you
Seems just to melt away

The silence that surrounds your dreams
Yet plots your destiny
The strength of love and all it means
The place you need to be

So next time darkness seals days fate
And wheels once more stop turning
Believe that love is never late
And stays forever burning...
