The sun rises uneven, cars fill up their lanes, this can't wait 'till evening, beyond the night sky, all I need to regale, is about the life outside, a social rush of energy, coffee tastes the same, who needs a good reason, I might sail on the line, it matters what you say, not go off this time, with my dawn novena, my paper smile a hurricane, your love tastes so sweet I know it’s not fine, to go out and play, drink more sweet wine, bars and visions of retreat, what I have to fake, it’s not my swollen feet, keeps me in this game.

Antonia Three

Go on then believe, my skin is well toned, who am I set free, on-demand what to say, the only song I own, is along this highway, a tide bittersweet, penetrates my soul, floats on the breeze, who are you to state, my only pain is gone, now you're in my face, you smell of the sea, no need to groan, against a rock of eternity, sing as you sway, am I being consoled, no one makes your day, calls on time to leave, don't really want to know, or care who retrieves, the spirit from my bones.

Antonia Two

Before you came for me, who carried the light, lost across the sea, they say it isn't you, in whispered prayers at night, do they know the truth, somewhere at my feet, I forget all the signs, I’m supposed to believe, even with your news, a power beyond my sight, I am not without virtue, love is a bitter feed, it always asks me why, something needs to be, wolves howl at the moon, words fall ill at ease, some mask an open tomb, broken on my knees, won't you wait a while, if you could only see, love lights my smile.

Antonia

Whoever says, we will warm our bones, after being away, the picture's not kind, we can cry but won’t, home is not right, thoughts that are slayed, the same as in war, when things become plain, like the harvest light, with hardly a wound, in an evening sky, maybe we’ll take a train, like winter's love, comes around this way, a horizon bright, we'll navigate alone, feeling for what’s right, a line on my face, I'll just carry on, everyone in this game, hears that sound.

Iona Three

Love holds the door ajar, your hair falls down like rain, you don't get very far, but sit around a Pool, silken trees breeze away, can you hear their news, they whisper about your Da, just another player, lonely as a shooting star, the money he tooled, in a poor jaded way, evermore the fool, buys another car, to burnish mother's games, no room for scars, flayed by their rules, forget the hurt they made, that other part of you, taps on the bar, feels the morning haze, hit the road burning tar, who are they anyway ?.

Iona Two

No one can take you, without any name, knowing what’s to love, eyes lit by fire, you know what to do, won’t resist the wire, tempted by the brew, on yellow cards lay waste, always choose, like birds fly higher, not hard to ascertain, which fools are the liars, what you've been through, makes you dance again, bones tell the truth, your tongue won't ask why, you live without stain, hug that patch of sky, your heart seeks good news, follows on its train, some things you can't fool, why run away?

Iona

She says from on high, is that the sea, you have to wonder why, if it's true, she’s as bad as me, wingtips shine like jewels, a diamond sun sears bright, she has hopes of eternity, she says she’s fine, what’s wrong with this crew, she enquires breezily, we'll sleep till noon, sailing the sky, nothing else bears scrutiny, in this cold April light, we're so glad and cool, who can expect sympathy, when we act like fools, on these long day flights, we drink for company, don’t know if we're right, but with strange reease.
