Bonny
Each laugh makes me a liar,
will he see,
the lines between my hair,
sometimes just a little shove,
makes heaven easy to be,
even if you’re not tough,
awful places make bad affairs,
they still let me dream,
no one kids me there,
get dressed I need a hug,
what about my teeth,
grace comes shining from above,
act like I don't care,
scrubbed sparkling clean,
I swing through the air,
who will be my new love,
he might rescue everything,
the tide rises in flood,
when evening turns green.

I used to be fine,
drinking alone,
dancing in wine,
no need for weak tea,
ladled humour lachrymose,
jokes were my repartee,
now what do I find,
a house full of groans,
running to be kind,
the rain starts to ease,
do you still carry stones,
stilling that uncertainty,
dumb when it’s tight,
won’t use answer’ phones,
everything on your side,
I still need to believe,
what used to be so,
when we all dreamed,
where is the line,
that you cross going home,
the stuff bathed in time,
is that all gone?

Who will break your news,
struggling to escape,
all the stuff you blew,
no horizon's bright,
if your mark’s a stain,
think you're always right,
don’t make life a curfew,
be frightened of the waves,
knowing what they can do,
it’s nearly the time,
to hear a donkey bray,
you sit by the fire,
before sunrise is due,
let your tears seep away,
it’s all up to you,
ever wondered why,
people pine for the day,
after long silent nights,
if your groans are true,
a fortune comes your way,
rain falls on the roof,
let if fall OK.

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 ?
Valentina
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.
