(The Gift of Sound) Where the Sun Never Goes Down

Not everyone notices As things drift slowly in and out of focus Being in the theatre is more important than knowing what is going on in the movie The sound in the theatre is very loud It builds up beacause it can't get out of the theatre The actors talk We can still hear what they said a minute ago This happens in any closed room – sound never leaves it If someone goes out to get some soda or popcorn Some conversations escape as they leave and enter the lobby When the movie's over And everyone leaves the theatre The accumulated sound leaves with them And spreads out across the parking lot To become forever part of the landscape The film is a gift to the surrounding community
