I like bridges and piers, in a parallel World Iā€™m a civil engineer
in this World I am mostly civil and mostly sincere

I like architecture, in a parallel World I designed Big Ben

In this World I just sketch buildings with my pen

I like trains, in a parallel World I drive them across the USA

In this World no leaves on the track is for all I pray

I like trees, in a parallel World I have planted a forest

In this World against a tree I like to sit and rest

I like oceans, in a parallel World whole continents I cross

In this World even how to steer a yacht Iā€™m at a loss

I like folk music, in a parallel World Iā€™m in Fairport Convention

In this World poetry is my way of getting attention

Hi Dean, really enjoyed this - I know that feeling. Something about this line in particular tweaked at my imagination:

"in a parallel world, whole continents I cross".
