Oriana

If it's not too late, to let them know, what opens your gate, somethings missing, but you don’t follow, even when you’re listening, thoughts muddy as the Spey, same when the wind blows, winter’s gone again. other times you’re kidding, get out now and sow, earth feels like it’s kissing, it makes you sway, to walk on battered bones, the ground a tidal wave, stroll amongst the bitterns, laughing at their boom, trees around them glistening, calm as the hills.

Nidia

No one deceives a fool, without some pain, knowing what they lose, scrubbed by fire, you know what to do, including bold desire, even tempted by the few, in fallow lands ornate, not much left to choose, like a bird on a wire, it's hard to sustain, who else is for hire, those you see through, watch their childish gains, graveyards tell the truth, the land might ask why, you live without stain, forget that patch of sky, the seeker of good news, always tramps the lanes, some things forever true, in the morning rain.

Molly

Meeting in a warm cafe', sorry outreach of worn nights, sip warm tea and cakes, you don’t want to hesitate, before this coming fight, how you’ve missed again, over there is Lafferty, smoking his Marlborough lights, could make a girl happy, he never studies the times, says that life’s a trial, always tries to find a way, all your smiles are fake, when I let loose a sigh, just see you on the make, why not take a train, flip a coin see the sky, can’t be worse than jail, you don’t even try.

She says from on high, is that the sea, don’t you wonder why, if it's all true, she’s as bad as me, eyes blink like jewels, diamond suns burn bright, with hopes of eternity, is life really so tight, then we’re screwed, she arches breezily, let’s sleep till noon, we’ll sail the sky, nothing else beats scrutiny, on cold Candlemas light, we're so sad and cool, who expects sympathy, when we nod like fools, on these long flights,

Kathy

Her manner’s always cool, many a life she’s known, wish it were yours too, never crashing like the sea, an artist bright unknown, she always stays clean, no danger of my muse, creative but never swallowed, being taken for a fool, lives easy on our street, doesn’t pray for calm, will always lend her keys, lipstick lemon blue, her skin is golden brown, she says its up to you, maybe sees a loving need, for those who might drown, it brings no sense of ease, take any path you own.

Indigo

You stretch out sunny days, smile an absent stream, now you're on your way, don’t bring bad news, like a losing team, say you know what to do, lying in the rain, by the Chelsea quay, kills me to see you again, there’s a spirit in you, that’s hard to please, dancing parish of broken rules, I’ll work and save, whatever the need, whenever your ship sails , the lovers you took, made you dream, now you're just cool, but something’s missing.

If you sing of hope, without worry to the waves, don’t need to tie ropes, always let loose, sing the only way, nothing’s there to lose, you're not such a dope, songs will show the way, they just soften the blows, when you get the blues, let others stand and shake, one voice you own is true, never wonder how you'll cope, always have your say, face them all don’t slope, separate out what’s new, from distant tides or sail, always bring the new, it’s what makes you great.
