In leaving desperate news,
I set a passage clear,
nothing else will do,
don’t carry heartache home,
it might cost us dear,
won’t tell them where I’ve gone,
nothing left to rue,
a course for different fears,
ones I thought I knew,
if this makes you groan,
think what else is near,
drag it all alone,
there’ll be other rules,
any vision comes with tears,
golden domes unused,
take another loan,
put perfume on my ears,
on such paths we're born,
food that is just gruel,
prayers instead of beer,
no need to be cruel,
we'll ride the bitter years.

Sing along on trains,
turn their laughs to stone,
don’t wonder why you came,
forget what's on your mind,
it’s all about your soul,
you're not the lonely child,
crying makes you play,
a song all your own,
hands reach to your face,
don't take fright,
throw them some rope,
keep any stray you find,
rub against the grain,
stay out there alone,
don't worry about freight,
your songs make them smile,
now they’re far from home,
it stems the fear inside,
this railroad’s always late,
all your life's on show,
guide them along the way,
just keep going.

Why do you need to phone,
the airport is not far,
love is just a joke,
a screen that you use,
searching near and far,
as dreams circle around us,
Saints reveal their bones,
they leave their scars,
don’t do passion alone,
why draw up a feud,
at this crowded bar,
you know what to do,
just leave me here and go,
my head bonging la la,
you’re right at home,
heading for the blue,
waving to your lucky star,
I’ll down another few,
it’s not a great start,
safe within my credit zones,
what’s inside me nearly gone,
the keys to the car ?

Don't pray in the rain,
or swear upon your ma,
stuff you can't fake,
hopes you won’t use,
smother what it costs ,
places without refuge,
see that portrait,
of you wounded and lost,
JOHN it’s got your name,
whatever you choose,
don't shout blah,
whoever pays the dues,
whisky fires the brain,
souls live without trouble,
you won’t run away,
nor brook a dawn curfew,
force the door ajar,
despite golden avenues,
gains that you'll make,
make without scars,
true spirits of the highway,
travel without cars.

If I warm my toes,
around your fire,
can’t deny what I know,
that what I choose,
for many a lie,
is lost on my excuses,
a chance to show,
on dancing wires,
how much I can grow,
I’m not the fool,
who plays for time,
running with news,
more than here and now,
I’ll make what’s right,
by these holy vows,
my blood's smoky blue,
don’t need you to enquire,
if t’s good,
I'm not undersold,
don't need a sign,
to live without windows,
pour me that wine.

Your eyes always chase,
places where no one goes,
champagne cognac too late,
forget how much we blew,
kill the need to know,
steer away from news,
we’re always on the game,
paying off the loan,
we’ll tackle what remains,
you never seem to rue,
the way we’ve been let down,
say it’s part of you,
why worry about the gain,
at supper hide our groans,
whistle off our pain,
say it’s all a ruse,
a dream of yesterday,
being part of a crew,
wouldn't it be great,
to stay on the road,
throw out all the hate,
watch it go.
Jenny
Fire and evening light,
when you play my tune,
I always cry,
hanging on my phone,
it rings with blues,
I hear your lovely tones,
this beach has come to life,
the white sand soothes,
away from Freeway tyres,
bring grace to our home,
accept all we do,
even atone,
this return to paradise,
will never make the news,
frees us from all strife,
to gather what has gone,
somewhere we can glue,
isolate but not alone,
you’re always nice,
never hide what’s true,
skip in this warm tide,
what it is to lose.
