I found some time
On the common green
Between tower blocks
Cloud free moonlight

I found some time
On the bus home from London
Ringing the job centre
Lying about my absence

I found some time
When my car broke down
Freezing at Christmas
On the black motorway

I found some time
Drunkenly grabbing leaves
Gleaming industrial streets
Held me tenderly

And I found some time
To watch a kettle come to boil
Gentle licks of steam
By a rainy window.
