Visions of Order - The Night They Closed the Park Lyrics

They closed the park at six o'clock
Sending all the people home
The sun was high over the green
I made the choice to walk alone
The hurried feet of mothers scared
Their children wrapped inside their coats
The end of freedom start of fear
So I sung them these special notes

Police patrolling with keen eyes
They're trying to catch the people out
But they will never catch me
I'm always exercising now
And in my Kappa City jacket
I am invisible to all
But without the busy people
They've got our backs against the wall

I start to wonder where you are
And why you never write no more
It's only been three months of lockdown
Surely you've seen all my missed calls
I hope you're safe away from crowds
And all those that wish you harm
But just a sign that you are breathing
Would bring me such a sense of calm

If I could speak to you on that green
I would ask what this silence all means
You are my brother, your weight is my own
Never be afraid to pick up the phone

And talk
About the things that keep you up at night
The spectres hiding in the brush
That suck up all of these lies so sacred and bright
The fear I feel is when you're gone
That I've seen your final form
Before I even got to tell you
I had to give you so much more

And still I wonder where you are
And why your silence is so loud so sure
I hope to God that you are breathing
You're just ignoring my missed calls
I hope you're safe away from crowds
I'd never wish you any harm
But just a sign that you are breathing
Would bring me such a sense of calm

If I could speak to you on that green
I would ask what this silence all means
You are my brother, your weight is my own
Never be afraid to pick up the phone
