The low late afternoon sun
and the beginning of night
winter moving in quietly
under the cover of darkness
slowly, it's a bad time to have
to find a place to house your family
which I don't have to worry about
yet

Don't feel too safe, it's inadvisable,
but know and appreciate it if
you've got it, all in all,
it's rare down here

Today we vote, as a people,
divided maybe,
but according to the reports,
most of us are getting of our asses

And that's probably good,
at least I hope
so.
