If you would only redeem, what lights my smile, no more deceit, wolves howl at the moon, phrases used as a child, some cloak an open wound, words thrown to the sea, lost without signs, make everyone believe, what aches for truth, a power beyond my sight, brings better news, no more a bitter feed, always taking flight, in whispered needs, mother's ruin, is supposed to align, all our virtues, before you came for me, they told me it’s right, that love travels eternally, before my eyes.

A smile on his face, he says he’ll carry on, can’t turn away, a horizon once bright, he navigates over bones, feels it's right, maybe take a train, like a lover that's gone, it came once his way, the picture's not kind, could cry but he won't, no place to make light, why thoughts work this way, he’ll never understand, here on the pave, within a city's sight, hardly a sound, under a summer sky, bets he could make, tied to the stove, there’s nothing to gain, by going home.

Some things you can't rule, in the gentle rain, don't know what to do, scrubbed by fire, I hear myself say, it's only my desire, want to hear good news, sail down the freeway, untroubled by the Blues, like birds on a wire, we find hard to ascertain, who's the biggest liar, she boils me in a stew, in clearings makes me taste, old and bitter fruit, she won't ask me why, I live without brains, lost in the sky, it doesn’t take a fool, to move the earth again, find out what you lose, when she walks away.

We drink for company, God knows you're right, this place needs some sympathy, the front of house crew, out of sight, only come awake at noon, just leave us in peace, fear grips our sight, cooking guides our being, knives as sharp as new, we'll make each day bright, have no truck with fools, she says how easy, it is to grill the sky, nothing stands her scrutiny, we're so happy and cool, in the morning light, everything we say and do, she can smell the sea, a message from on high, not as bad as me, we don't do lies.

Parade all the while, while you’re on bail, ride the lonely miles, in your bones, you’re not here to stay, alone, you left him to die, on your holy grail, said you didn’t have time, can you atone, when love always fails, shame stacks like a farrago, flip a coin to the sky, talk of hoisting sail, no worries about style, drink wine from a Jeroboam, covet some desolate mail, throw stones at his ghost, what is it to cry, that finds you this way, you're not going to lie, it’s worse than jail.

Kieron to Johhny

What you can't find, makes you think again, wrap up more twine, don't go alone, there's too much pain, stay to your own, you hear of time, standing in the rain, saying everything's fine, drenched to the bone, you're no angel, in your chef’s clothes, why try to disguise, each day brings a claim, you still roll the dice, don't trust the telephone, it ruins the game, love's got no real home, just take the 79, to catch a fast train, dance a different jive, get away from this place.

Gone is the time, that stares straight at you, your Ma's real crime, doesn’t make it easy, what she can’t go through, nothing that pleases, clothes cashmere fine, won’t stamp out her blues, each hint of July, she doesn’t do breezy, why disguise the truth, hates the way you speak, the time you spent inside, uses it like a tool, to sharpen her mind, you shake the car keys, act like her mule, each day is no Odyssey, you’re just in line, to catch more sad tunes, drink that sweet wine, see who’s the fool.
