Bromford's Arc - Part 11 - 12:09 a.m.


Apartment 16 - Tenth Floor - right hand side … and we walk all night.

'Look, Patty', Peter Panda tells his mate. 'We almost came too late. They have started already.'

Nothing has started, I think. I am still sitting at the table at the diner on the corner. This is one of my morning routines in this town as they were and as they hopefully will be again in the future.

I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of

And I'm turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies

When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head

'Watch your steps', the llama tells me. 'Sleeping with open eyes while hurrying down the stairs is never a good idea. And it is certainly no adventure.'

And way down we go …


"Abigail, Belle Of Bromford"

Abigail, can you feel my heart in the palm of your hand?
And do you understand why I can't stay?
Abigail, an evil wind is blowing through the land
And they need every man to drive it away

When I come home, if I come home
You'll be a grown woman
When I come home, if I come home
Don't be alone, Abigail, Belle of Bromford

Abigail is gonna be the beauty of County Galway
And she will live always in a world of love
Abigail, I'm off to the war but you can be sure
I will know you're what I'm fighting for

I'm off to the war but you can be sure
I will know you're what I'm fighting for
I'm off to the war but you can be sure
I will know you're what I'm fighting for

When I come home, if I come home
You'll be a grown woman
When I come home, if I come home
Don't be alone, Abigail, Belle of Bromford
