Now you know, how people feel, in their bones, that jilted smile's a strain, watered by the stream, they’ll note it anyway, take the time right now, unlock without a key, your luminous frown, why seek the rain, peer in mountain streams, don't need to catch a train, you’ve nothing to bestow, with other crazy schemes, in your moving picture show, such a long time away, to live within a dream, now face each coming day, you don't have to furrow, say where you've been, before the cock crows, everyone will see

Never one to search for gain, every track burnt, don't you ever feel the pain, or get sore, forgetting what you learnt fixing a broken front door, no matter what it takes, you’re always present, to ungrateful ‘probates, fools sing for applause, get drunk like the wretched, you know the score, no need to remonstrate, to bring out your best, what a player you make, two and two make four, you scatter the difference, never ask for more, but when the night breaks, your poor investments, shatter and flake, what will you do then?

When you start to say, why I always swim alone, just give me a break, sit on the wire, don't make a run, you’re not a flyer, not a second to waste it's lonely on stones, but more to my taste listening to the cryers, our bed’s rough-hewn, it calms all desires, give us our day, not a long megaphone, where we can bray, we are not like Sapphires, we’ll never atone, draw air to the fire, it'll be our holiday, so far from an Iliad, won't inquire about gain, or where we’re going.

Each kiss makes me fry, will he see, the gaps between my lies, sometimes just a little move, more heavens place to be, even if I don’t feel love, terrible places hard care, they still let me dream, no one kids you there, kiss get dressed need a hug, what about my teeth, grace comes from above, act like I don't care, scrubbed sparkling clean, I sail through the air, Joey’s my new shove, he might rescue everything, rise each night in flood, it's only fair, when evening turns green, you take what you can, it’s not me who screams ?

You used to be fine, to drink alone, your laugh stronger than wine, no need for weak tea, humour lachrymose, jokes your repartee, now what you find, hearing the groans, what it is to be blind, the rain starts to cease, you carry the stones, of that certainty, speak when it’s right, never do the ‘phone , everything keeps for a while, you need to believe, what used to be so, when we all dreamed, you found the line, that you cross leaving home, the stuff bathed in time, is all that gone?

Who will break the news, struggling to escape, about the stuff you blew, no horizon's so bright, if your mark’s a stain, you' who are always right, don’t make life a curfew, be frightened of the waves, know just what to do, it nearly is the time, you hear a donkey bray, sit by the fire, before sunrise due, your tears seep away, no one can reach you, ever wondered why, you pine for the day, the long silent night, often bears some truth, that a fortune lies at bay, rain falls on the roof, it sounds ok.

Look up down the road, try to be kind, make a smile your own, the stars show the way, cold in the sky, you're back here to stay, no need for a comb, you'll walk the steady miles, don’t need any crown, find out the going rate, your face alive, you know how to behave, is there s window, where her face don't shine, here in your soul, never mind future days, burn out that fire, now you’re on your way, tell her all you know, it’s been a little while, in the cock’s crow, the song of a child.
