In between these white hotels   The parallel pavements are peaceful   The fallen leaves from flakey trees   That decorate car bonnets      I had this beautiful day-dreaming moment   The sun was shining strangely amber   Shouldered by flickering golden-green avenues   And city-doves perching on vapour trails      Then we saw from the upper deck   Watching ourselves as if seeing our future      Greeted by strangers who seemed to be good friends   And welcomed us through their shiny red door
