Sam
Dance in poor man's shoes,
sing songs on the wire,
always pay your dues,
it’s what my mama scolds,
don’t wait for no flyer,
wait to be told,
each little bit of you,
balances on a wire,
stay and face out truth,
life isn't a stone,
you leave in the fire,
no one does it alone,
if your choice of ruin,
sings louder than a choir,
turn away from the Blues,
know in your bones,
when others conspire,
you know what to show,
you’re no liar.

A flower by my side,
just some little token,
I hold with great pride,
ribbons in my hair,
stuff that you follow,
you asked me to dare,
stupid to ask why,
accept I've been chosen,
my turn to fly,
forget all the hurt,
child memories broker,
I’m now in your care,
heavens may cry,
shrunken or coaxed,
am not here to deny,
all that I share,
is warm in my soaking,
is with you here,
now love has spoken.
Quigley
Chained to our days,
we’re here to forgive,
the mess we made,
best not to moan,
or want to rescind,
what’s leant as a loan,
forget the sweet haze,
bumble bees in bliss,
our life is like cellophane,
we’re not alone,
to go on like this,
there's meat on our bones,
celebrate each day,
make love a trip,
it’s more than a trade,
welcome the time zones,
consider the shift,
we’re going home,
this time to give.

Limpid pools groan,
whisper your name,
our ship is far gone,
didn't know what I knew,
a brilliant ocean,
absorbs our view,
when we’re alone,
I tell you the game,
on this island shore,
how lovely these ruins,
a foregone disgrace,
brings us to truth,
birds that have flown,
we’re here in a daze,
our troubled home,
the sea lemon blue,
your face drained,
nothing more is new,
we turn to the flame.

Oti
Memories of your face,
so eager to please,
the soul in your grace,
you recoil at my thunder,
my very conceit,
a man fixed by numbers,
they call me too late,
eager to squeeze,
the times where you lay,
a path uncluttered,
my insides heave,
wish you were my lover,
went out one day,
while I’m sound asleep,
dreams fall away,
it makes you wonder,
rings, stones, your place,
who splits who asunder,
who, I hear you say?

Brilliant bones
sculpture your frame,
your life’s in full flow,
need to be free,
the name of the game,
how to stay happy,
you dance by the door,
want no part of fame,
others will follow,
taste salt by the sea,
fools think you’re lame,
laugh at their belief,
you number each zone,
circle each day,
don’t ask where time goes,
stones and glass pieces,
make out your name,
shine without cease,
even in the rain.
Maura
He smiles when he comes by,
laughs and hums and diddles,
says it's all a lie,
he keeps a cheerful mien,
to do’s on yellow lists,
always in the frame,
then he starts to cry,
tells you what he's missed,
all that's wrong with life,
others take a plane,
searching for a kiss,
what they've thrown away,
forget the bitter times,
when it’s hit and miss,
little need to keep trying,
dreams that won’t go away,
sorry that he’s pissed,
asks can we start again
bars, rain, days of tides,
stars come out like milk,
it’s not some other guy,
who makes his life a ship.
