Mathilde

Some nights I ask why, can we ever fly alone stars burn out and die, it might well be Mars, for all anyone knows, we’re out this far, sailing through the starry night, the wind black and cold, it’s no place to lie, if its kids and dogs you want, ham falling off the bone, don’t start a new war, can you hear me cry, running out of furlough, it's not enough to sigh, we’ll buy a new car, see how fast she goes, stay where we are, even if the flame’s not right, create space in our home, lightning rides the sky, am I that far gone ?

I scatter all your needs, like ashes on the bar, nothing is so easy, blow away your pay, then fly afar, laugh at the terrible waste, a shrimp in the sea, a shipwreck in a bottle, you won't set me free, it's a different age, even if you drive a car, I still can’t wait, what about my needs, that warm hazy fog, a path to childhood dreams, I sing to the waves, all the stuff you're not, a pearl amongst the wreckage, drink is bad for me, songs leave too many scars, my face has turned pink, what’s going on?

I wait to be with you, standing on this station, feeling remarkably new, who wants to be that stone, when the tide’s gone away, left on the beach alone , there is no clue, why it’s turned this way give the Doctors their due, they blasted my bones, say that I’m saved tested my chromosomes, please give me your view, now the choice is raised, am I here with issues, before my eerie groans, you tried to accommodate, everything I called home, truth is what we do, good as new each day, play me happy tunes, sit me down and say !!!

When we begin to pray you dance and sigh, for lands far away, it's a lonely path alone, not having a light, an Iliad far from home, we sit out the fray, anchors hold the bite, ride the tide and wait, listen to the stones, it’s better than to cry, soon we’ll soon be gone, so far away, let us not fight, find reasons more to say, our horizon’s honed, lead us from this Bay, safe in our bones, there'll be no strain, the moon is our right, to bring us good days, this warm loving night.

Can you identify, that easy thing, between moon and sky, what has been emptied, makes other parts cling, to this waterside, you need no inquiry, when dreams become nothing, and then buried, who needs a Dime, when we all think, here’s such a good time, some drive Mercedes, laugh as they sing, stuff that makes us happy, each stage of life, can end in a blink, some kiss their wives, in a summer's twilight, you might hear it ring, like bells on a kite, our need to believe. .

Don't blame it on fate, that love twists, a trick played too late, that earthly groan, like it has a stitch, has me gone, will something change, depends who's playing this, it'd be a cheek to say, spin me around my home, take music from the hits, throw me a bone, hearts slip in this space, tumble with the critics, waiting for a date, a dancer from another zone, with a yellow list, turns to me and goes, life can be a race, when you figure it, who will show their face, when something’s missing ?

It's quiet here now, after years of the need, my face smooth as stone, I still see the grave, where praise be, his soul is saved, we arrived on the brow, to this new territory, why only He knows, grant me the days, where I can act carefree, not hemmed in by prelates , men with barren tones, say have one on me, cry on my shoulder, plead for a stay, they’re here for a reason, to me it’s the same, in the blue dawn, bells ring exclusively, I make my way home, over there is the sea.
