When the power wires are tangled

“When the road is rocky and you’re carrying a load
Wait for the light to shine
If you find you’re friendless on that weary, lonesome road
Wait for the light to shine”

The dancers that are slowly fading

“Ah, fading joy, how quickly art thou past!
Yet we thy ruin haste.
As if the cares of human life were few,
We seek out new:
And follow fate, which would too fast pursue.”
