Under Ground

I passed two women kissing
Young lovers caught in passion  
A man jostled against my side  
In a hurry to go anywhere  
that held a more beautiful  sight  
than could be seen here  
I think not  
But I couldn't stay and gaze  
 
I also had to go, catch my train  
When I came to the platform  
I passed a woman pissing  
Old, drunk and stinking  
Her back against the wall  
Many people passed  
It seemed they didn't care  
And neither did I really  
 
I took a ride on the Underground  
 
When I stepped off the train  
Going to my destination  
I passed an old man crying  
He held a violin and played softly  
Tears rolled and beauty was born  
But I couldn't stay and gaze  
I had to go and catch a cab  
First I placed a bill in his case  
 
I stopped to buy a paper  
And caught the sent of desire  
It held me transfixed in time  
I turned to search for its owner  
A pretty smile and hypnotic eyes  
I saw a blush flood across her face  
Frozen in each other's gaze  
I had no where to go now
