You sift through trouble,
don't get frightened,
he'll no longer shove you,
before you throw,
him entwined,
to all that you loathe
silence is the hub,
a source for your crime,
hands that you scrub,
laugh at the cold,
hear the clock chime,
they'll never know,
remember that love,
forgives broken lives,
it sings in your blood,
before you go,
check the earth outside,
and all that he sold,
you pull on your gloves,
take your time,
shoulder what's to come,
drink some wine.

For each little bit of you,
if anyone enquires,
give them no clue,
life isn't a stone,
taken to the fire,
why should you atone,
your little cup of ruin,
is no more than a choir,
you can still play tunes,
you know in your bones,
it poisons your desire,
but leaves you alone,
whoever reads the news,
see who's for hire,
find your own truth,
if no one 'phones,
when you try to inspire,
forget your home,
dance a poor man's Blues,
sing on the wire,
you always pay your dues,
you're not a liar.

Drunk enough to ask why,
accept she's been chosen,
before you deny,
laugh at all her crazes,
what she tries to provoke,
with stupid phrases,
sing instead her favourite lines,
our time goes by unspoken,
accept the heaven's cry.
outside of your praises,
neither shrink nor coax,
those wonderful stations,
at the grave in time,
to verify love's soaking,
a cloud sails the sky,
what settles on your faces,
laugh at cold bones,
before you blow the traces,
a flower at your side,
just some little token,
more than any pride,
run from being broken.

Why live in a haze,
sheltered from the wind,
battered like cellophane,
best not to moan,
or burn a holy candle,
life is only a loan,
why jump the trains,
scour the land,
for a perfect phrase,
in your worn out clothes,
enjoy the contrast,
you're not on your bones,
make a step change,
blow the ten grand,
find love instead of trade,
when someone groans,
you don't understand,
move out of that zone,
chained to your days,
can your heart expand,
in greater ways,
or not understand?

Look at the moon,
a spring tide today,
everything comes around too soon,
the birds who have flown,
seeking a way,
singing as they go,
my eyes dart I'm cool,
say wouldn't it be great,
to make it somewhere new,
in a hurricane zone,
where no panic reigns,
encircle the loans,
somewhere not cruel,
but poised sedate,
I'll scatter the dues,
problems the wind blows,
emotion's just a name,
for a love that's gone,
my good parts aren't Blue,
I can firmly state,
you'll love it there too,
high above the flames.

I need another home,
help me to say,
what you know is gone,
what I need to do,
unravel the waste,
how unlovely the truth,
in troubled zones,
I create solace every day,
try to feel never alone,
the sea is lemon blue,
cafe's swell with rain,
it brings nothing new,
here in my bones,
I try to stay sane,
can I ever atone,
what's sought by your nephew,
especially en flagrante,
don't know who to shoo,
brilliant stones,
whisper your name,
waters groan,
echoes my disgrace.
Rick
Who can just smile easy,
knowing what to say,
when a spirit's released,
a high heeled slumber,
stones, wreaths, grave,
it makes you wonder,
a coward's retreat,
finds no hope or shape,
I'll find it one day,
did I have your number,
when you say,
live life unencumbered,
my insides screech,
tunes jingle and play,
I see you in the sea,
waste of time don't bother,
I'm the disgrace,
you roll in the thunder,
hoist by my own conceit,
a certain rising too late,
eager to squeeze,
memories of your face.
