I need another home, help me to say, you know what is gone, stuff I need to do, unravel the waste, pick out what's new, delay troubled zones, find solace every day, seek the unknown, the sea is lemon blue, cafe's swell with rain, crowded darkened rooms, listen to my bones, love will find a way, without being shown, what is sought by few, allows no thought of gain, unfazed by the truth, orchestral storms, glisten with day, you will never be alone, show me the same.

Why live in a haze, it's not bad this time, crumpled like cellophane, best not to moan, drink holy wine, you're not on your own, don't jump at trains, scour down the line, for the perfect way, in your worn-out clothes, enjoy what’s around, live without loans, make a step change, scrape off the grime, find love instead of trade, when someone groans, say you don't understand, move out of that zone, regaled by your days, let your heart unwind, have a greater say, in all you design.

Look at the moon, a spring tide today, love turns around too soon, the birds who have flown, seeking away, sing as they go, my eyes fill like pools, wouldn't it be great, to find someone new, it's a hurricane zone, where no one reigns, to oversee the loans, someone not cruel, but kind and sedate, someone not like you, where the wind blows, all emotion is played, my emptiness gone, the good parts were cool, clear as acetate, you forgot about dues, high across the flames?

Why always ask why, accept what you’ve chosen, before stopping to deny, stare into dead space, your mouth frozen, issuing stupid phrases, sing your favourite lines, time is done with roses, accept all you decry, beyond children’s faces, neither shrunken nor spoken, regale wonderful relations, even at the graveside, witness true love's bonus, watch clouds sail the sky, care settles any debate, don’t wonder what follows us, let go of the traces, keep flowers at your side, just some little token, beyond a wish to verify, we remain unbroken.

Never one to search for gain, every task is spent, working in the rain, don't get sore, putting up new fences, I'm waitiong here indoors, you know what it takes, to grant me a presence, an ungrateful reprobate, fools sing for applause, they have no credence, I count out the score, no need to celebrate, to bring me your best, life is not a game, two and two makes four, I'll alter your defences, will always demand more, see how you hesitate, your invested rent, in night's cool probate, exploring good friends.

When donkeys start to bray, we sit by the fire, you turn to me and say, its a lonely path alone hung by a wire, crossing the sea like Homer, we can't take a train, never mind the time,. just sit here and wait, this is our home, not all a sweet desire, but still no rolling stone, watch all the silly games, tell which gun's for hire, explosions getting paid, our horizon's broken, no sail shines too bright, love's our little token, so far we remain OK, who needs insight, blankets aren't for slaves, take our own sleepovers, who cares about rights, a silent tombola, rescues our days.

Listrning to your news, struggling in the break, like last winter's blues, no horizon's bright, for the mark's a stain, always claining your rights, it makes life a purlieu, a forest untamed, possessing terrible attributes, never did make the time, to hear a donkey bray, you sit by a fire, before sunrise bears fruit, your hope drains away, say no one reaches you, every wondered why, enquires about your pain, make us all take fright, we're bored stupid too, your fortunes hold sway, rain dance on the roof, we hide to escape.
