Did you fake your marriage,
you'd gamble anything,
to avoid that happening,
your daughter shrieks,
all your could have beens,
start with me,
was it different or tragic,
for those who dream,
who asked for your carriage,
what an image you seek,
when the rain sheets,
you buy us ice cream,
laughing like it’s a fashion,
arrangements that seem,
emotions aren’t rationed,
blow ash off your ciggy,
chase numbers on the breeze,
takes more than a litany,
to set you free.

A sunny life is not for me,
nothing lasts forever,
waves kiss the palm trees,
I look at the sand,
brown bodies keep us together,
to leave just like that,
I sip a tiger beer,
a leopard sits in a Baobab tree,
she eyes the Serengeti,
an old trail on dry land,
where silver mules are tethered,
makes me cross mountains,
embark upon terrible feats,
she never was a planner,
drink a little holy whisky,
I’ll be better in heaven,
the beach seethes,
she says you're jesting?

Clattered steps in the evening,
heart beating like a train,
I’m dying to see her,
my heads a jungle fix,
high as an Arctic crane,
flushing love in the mix,
a drumming racket cinema reel,
gorgeous flowers are sprayed,
she does that to me,
her touch more than any wish,
how difficult it is to say,
I’m a stage for all her tricks,
the scent of perfume released,
she arrives at the station,
the joy in every crease,
her face is a gift,
to serenade any freighter,
can you how I live,
when you leave again ?

There's times I wish,
I’d never being born,
love’s not a cherry dish,
on Princes Boulevard,
my lover gone,
just leave me alone,
with my own cherish,
that does no harm,
but I won’t bet it,
then a dog barks,
this girl’s coming home,
cars make their marks,
no point getting jealous,
smelling eau de cologne,
Spring proves the lesson,
standing by the door,
they hear me shout,
my freedom’s torn,
days getting longer.

The great profuse Diva,
makes good sense to me,
when she raises Ave Maria,
in circumstances of our own,
can we ever make history,
each morning a waking thorn,
hymns make me dream,
your face is of the sea,
you sleep like a Queen,
wine we brought to town,
to tourists and Cafe's,
you danced all around,
laugh at such generous sweeps,
you brush clean the streets,
the place is your keep,
tip Bollinger down,
make time take a leap,
nothing about you loaned,
music is everything

Just one fervent wish,
begs for three missed days,
love is a spilled dish,
spoken in bars on ‘phones,
it brooks no delay,
light holds a glassy tone,
a bed within the mission,
lemon trees in gentle rain,
stack together each issue,
no talk of prison bones,
dollars can’t allay,
we are long becalmed,
listening out for wind,
wishing for children’s praise,
rolling stones without sin,
in late spring’s clothes,
our life rocks this way,
a boat that sails alone,
got to see her again.

What's wrong with dreaming,
and loving the sea,
forget all the scheming,
like luck or a schism,
it’s the place to be,
when love isn’t given,
a different philosophy,
seizes all that energy,
don’t do derogatory,
play hard on the rhythm,
find a reason,
to dance and not spin,
say your serene,
even if you’re solitary,
at this grand party,
in this film,
the sun never keels,
absolves us in wonder,
this spangled evening.
