Why live in a haze,
it's not like that time,
you frazzled like cellophane,
best not to moan,
or warm holy wine,
you were only a loan,
why jump the trains,
scour the line,
for the perfect way,
in your worn-out clothes,
you did look fine,
even on your bones,
make a step change,
scrape off the grime,
come with me today,
when someone groans,
try to understand why,
recognise that zone,
don’t betray your days,
let your heart unwind,
find love instead of trade,
you’ll know in time.

Look at the moon,
a Spring tide today,
everything comes around too soon,
the birds who have gone,
seeking away,
sing as they go,
my eyes are like pools,
wouldn't it be great,
to discover something new,
here in the zones,
no one deigns,
to worry about loans,
someone not cruel,
but poised sedate,
who forgets about dues,
or where the wind blows,
all emotion stayed,
an emptiness done,
my good parts are cool,
clear as acetate,
will you come here too,
your heart aflame?

If I need another home,
help me to say,
what you know is gone,
what I need to do,
to unravel the waste,
pick out the new,
in troubled zones,
find solace in each day,
If you catch yourself alone,
the sea is lemon blue,
cafe's swell with rain,
I’m always there with you,
here in my bones,
love will find a way,
without being shown,
sought by the few,
with no thought for gain,
life echoes this truth,
brilliant stones,
glisten your name,
waters groan,
tell me again.

This is not me,
jelly for thoughts,
each day of gethsemane,
such a fall from grace,
cast adrift forlorn,
I don’t want to hate,
make a fool of reason,
laugh when I'm caught,
spitting at eternity,
you’ll read this and shake,
absent from my call,
I’ll scream and create,
denying the seasons,
wondering if I'm born,
howling for eternity,
you’ll raise the stakes,
fear of being torn,
you’ll try to act brave,
who dreams of purgatory,
sitting on a wall,
boom of a broken sea,
not wanting to fall?

The love you show,
dissolves gives way,
a fool with every throw,
is it in your creed,
to circle the days,
why can't you see,
in garments sewn,
by a drunken oblate,
it’s all you know,
incense, flowers, crazes,
a dance on hot stones,
you want to be free,
of what you've sown,
only the shame,
head bowed as you go,
pulls you back to me,
bring whisky for your pain,
try to be happy,
brilliant origins,
whisper your name,
water is in full flow,
find your own space

Whoever owns the night,
the wind rocked room,
makes you wonder why,
I keep a cheerful home,
outside are the dunes,
I’m always on the go,
forget the bitter times,
all the cool untruths,
where different worlds collide,
living dreams without a phone,
I’m always glad to see you,
a piece of life postponed,
the air splashing by,
fog like a final soup,
some wait all their lives,
others touch the stones,
kid themselves to look,
who they were before,
laugh at freedom passing by,
laugh and hum a tune,
says it's stupid to lie,
whatever else I do.

It just goes to show,
when I hear your blues,
in some lane dead slow,
a witness to your sighs,
the ugly feuds,
your weary lies,
the missed loans,
anything to unglue,
my frozen bones,
instead of jibes,
and all your doodle doo,
why make me cry,
is it all you know,
how to haunt a venue,
keeping up a cheery tone,
trying to be wise,
it's nothing new,
I've marked these nights,
better face the blow,
something I always knew,
heaven's in my soul,
there’s no space for you.
