It's been a while, so there you go, wait by my side, when donkeys start to bray, or the cock crows, we’ll have our say, no need to find, what we barely own, to walk all these miles, a star shows the way, frozen in our clothes, we’re not here to play, if you don't mind, it’s not another show, forget about the time, we’ll hear someone say, wrap well in the snow, this is a holy day, let’s light by a fire, why worry or scold, try to remain kind, a smile in our bones.

Yola

Will you stay the same, behind your screen, each time we separate, remember the times, we drank in the heat, in bars sipping wine, now the morning train, is just how we feel, in this tired game, believe me I'm fine, I dream of the sea, to me it's no crime, what does it take, with my dawn novena, to see you again, you smile by the line, look at your feet, why can’t you align, our tracks to meet?

Xemi

A diagnosis only half true, I can smell the Limes, on a tree-lined avenue, you act like you know, in the ties that bind, breathe deep on your bones, hope holds you aloof, to see if they’re right, accept there's little due, you won't be alone, in this cosy light, the house is of stone, you sit near the flue, it's not a crime, to let a fire warm you, you have to keep going, each steepled night, when the kid's phone, am I Ok asking why?

Wynter

If you are so aware, think you’re so great, who am I to care, I’m looking for a home, a country to fit my face, you're too far gone, hand’s too heavy to bear, the shaking down of fate, just find me alone here, heaven screams a song, then a voice fades, no one’s left all done, you in chains on a chair, I plan a great escape, need a sunlit timeshare, a bird that's going, don’t claw at my traces, this cage feels so cold, I’m on my way.

Vita

Put me on the train, I can hardly speak, you listen to the rain, get me to sunlit avenues, not a roof that leaks, forget all the bad news, Paris or Marseilles, anywhere that doesn't sleep, I’ve had enough of jakes, pray you’ll see me soon, before I start to creak, in your lavender rooms, please don’t mark this day, when crazy inner needs, come out to play, the station magnolias bloom, love drips in the trees, soaked they’re out of tune, can you hear the sea?

Una

Please don't moan, stifle your moonbeams, he’ll be home soon, a knife to our throats, we know where he’s been, does that keep us going, we just need a stone, to throw at the sea, an edge to hone, when we dance with ghosts, happy as queens, toasting our lot, when you see him alone, is that what you mean, like being lost, in his greatcoat, he once used to tease, our flyaway souls, maybe he dreams.

Tate

Forget that crime, the sentence to come, drink some red wine, don’t get bitter, what passes for love, won’t alter this, digest broken lines, that say you’re no good they are another life, all that you skip, is there to discover, you only need a ship, enshrine, your silence in blood, delete that terrible time, you’re not so much litter, hand out your scrubs, laugh at big hitters, pull on your gloves.
