Yara
Look up down the road,
try to be kind,
make that smile your own,
the stars show the way,
cold in your time,
you've come back to stay,
no need for a comb,
you'll walk off the miles,
your hair needs no crown,
what’s the going rate,
your eyes come alive,
learn how to behave,
where is the soul,
what face doesn't shine,
before the cock crows,
never mind future days,
don't put out the fire,
you’ve finished with waste,
sing like a child.

Give us the love we know,
float it on the tide,
live with what you show,
drained by winter's views,
before you sail on by,
keep us in good news,
caught up in a cyclone,
which you say you’ll ride,
we ask again don't go,
what you say is true,
a heart needs to fly,
but why is it always you,
at least avoid the dopes,
when wind sings at night,
you have nothing to atone,
it’s us who have to lose,
the moon is by our side,
we’ll know you’ll be true,
write from time to time .

I wonder if she's right,
to head for the sea,
lilac as the night,
she’ll dance and parade,
make faces for a reason,
her soul works that way,
the shouting and fighting,
slakes her release,
star time’s her lightning,
the eyes bear the fray,
cold for the season,
when she calls it a day,
what comes to the wire,
before she flees,
is pulled from the fire,
she has no in tray,
Spring's done with heating,
needs to be away,
will she always love me ?

Will you come back this way,
to see the ruins,
each time we separate,
in this tired game,
you play the fool,
I dream of your face,
just what it might take,
through a cool afternoon,
for you to remain,
I can’t explain,
why there are no avenues,
keep me on the rails,
here in the shade,
I’m thinking of you,
my thoughts are like rain,
are you made of clay,
shall I howl at the moon,
I know there's a flame,
you’ll come back soon.

The aching half of you,
when you smell the Limes,
on a wind tossed avenue,
act like you'll follow,
the ties that bind,
feel them in your bones,
it’s wise to stay cool,
say you know what’s right,
please give me a clue,
I ‘m not alone,
in this lonely night,
I might even go home,
won’t rage and argue,
not like it’s a crime,
put a fire in the flue,
you have to keep going,
try to do what’s right,
the kids might even ‘phone ,
if they feel inclined.

The sun rises uneven,
cars fill up their lanes,
I won't see you 'till evening,
beyond the night sky,
all I need to say,
is what keeps deep inside,
a sepia rush of feeling,
love is just a name,
give me one good reason,
I will toe the line,
it matters that you stay,
not go off this time,
reject my dawn novenas,
smile like a drain,
boil my bones for yeast ,
I know am just a swine,
but don’t act betrayed,
drink another wine,
accept my offer of peace.

Go on then be free,
Your skin is well fused,
who am I to believe,
or demand what to say,
the only song I knew,
blown down this highway,
is a tune bittersweet,
down in my shoes,
floats high on the breeze,
who are you to state,
the only pain is curfew,
when you're in my face,
you smell of the sea,
don’t need an excuse,
against some rock of eternity,
you tie up your laces,
better than your dues,
no one makes your day,
you never have a clue.
