Louise

Is there ever a chart, to give us a line, bring food to no marks, forget about trouble, a trolley suits her fine, works without gloves, she never walks far, like so many other times, each step a shard, a cross for a move, to where they drink wine, she gives them a shove, a deal done at Primark, the waste is a crime, life so stark, she clears up above, the rest of the night, why worry about love, in a supermarket yard, lovely face tight, a spirit with some spark, she asks why ?

Lynne

It's quiet here now, fifty years of need, smooth as her stone, can still see the grave, where praise be, i hope i'll be saved, Ohio under snow, i'm back in Tennessee, the year of the blow, give me the State, you can love for free, except for holidays, geese with barren tones, set my hair to freeze, white on my shoulder, they honk on their way, late for the season, I'm just the same, in the blue dawn, stripped like the trees, between here and home, the old amber need.

Loretta

I still hear me Da, laughing like a juggler, happy/sad he's not barred, my ma stamps the tar, she crumbles, when he buys the car, won't let him cross the arc, bewildered, right from the off, she's a great heart, my son says 'i wonder', if that's the start, he's not gone far, lipstick, a shirt he fumbles, a trip to the park, under oranges in a barn, love never hungers, says he's with his tart, smokes a Lucky Star, chases numbers, love falling apart, eyes like thunder. not pine needles and hay you keep trouble at bay, do what life requires, a sail on blue waves, among candlelit signs, this is what you crave,

Larney

You keep trouble at bay, this life requires, any problems look away, they pester you for loans, your eyes seek the tide, you know you're not alone, stumble in the roaring Hades, dampen any desire, it's never easy or brave, scared to your bones, they note you're a crier, will you take a gun, an offering to be saved, like a cold fish knife, walks a lonely train, a sail on blue waves, among candlelit signs, this is what you crave, a love of the rain, on a burning pyre, not pine needles and hay, but a soul on fire.

Lana

Gnaw at some cause betrayed, conceal the bitter holy things, take them to your grave, maybe you afford the Blues, everyone's your cling, notes come just on cue, what a song they make, a curdled love they bring, everyone loves your face, you are a child brand new, laughter is a wedding ring, love is someone true, smoke cigarettes in the rain, when called upon to sing, this life is such a game, watching ships in the bay, you really love this thing, salt and heartache far away, but gamble it all and say, life to me is nothing, you won't kid the calendars page, or winter's iron thawing.

Krista

They'll let you know, what people up here feel, almost in their bones, that jilted smile's a strain, hurting in the trees, they see it anyway, take your time right now, those night's without a key, the river always flows, why seek the rain, peer in mountain streams, don't have to catch a train, nothing to bestow, with other crazy schemes, life's no picture show, been a long time away, to live within a team, now face each coming day, you don't have to borrow we see how you've been, stay to warm your toes, there is another dream,

Kate

Forget all these clowns, that come to woo her, many without elan, as loud as her woes, ships blow their hooters, every song sings of home, not just from France, but around the corner, who can fault her tan, she glides without throne, the bars are full of bums, she'd rather be alone, nothing hits by chance, her certain eyes are ruined, everything comes to pass, barefoot she raises a laugh, what they do to her, their hard countenance, strange that more than a ham, should be a schmoozer, no sound of a removal van, they meet in the boozer.
