Why live in a haze,
it's not easy this time,
patched up like cellophane,
best not to moan,
or warm holy wine,
life is only a loan,
don’t jump the trains,
watch out for the lines,
who wants to separate,
in your worn-out clothes,
enjoy what’s fine,
even on your bones,
make a step change,
scrape off the grime,
find love instead of trade,
when someone groans,
help them to try,
move out of that zone,
let your heart unwind.

Look at the moon,
a spring tide today,
everything too soon,
the birds who have flown,
seeking away,
sing as they go,
my eyes are like pools,
wouldn't it be great,
to find somewhere new,
even a hurricane zone,
where no one deigns,
to oversee the loans,
someone not cruel,
but poised and sedate,
who forgets about dues,
where the wind blows,
clear as acetate,
all emptiness thrown,
into the flames.

Don’t need another home,
help me to stay,
what you know is gone,
know I need to do,
unravel the waste,
start out with the new,
in troubled zones,
we’ll find solace every day,
never be alone,
the sea is lemon blue,
cafe's swell with rain,
there is always you,
but of course you’re done,
can we find a way,
without being shown,
what's sought by so few,
with no thought for gain,
echoes this truth,
stones glisten on your name.

This isn’t me,
jelly for my thoughts,
each day of uncertainty,
a useless loss of grace,
cast adrift forlorn,
I hate being late,
makes a fool of reason,
laugh when I'm caught,
spitting at the season,
you’ll read this and shake,
why I’ve not called,
hear me scream and create,
saying no to this creature,
wondering if I'm born,
howling for the next scene,
won’t raise the stakes,
fear of being torn,
I have to act brave,
can’t bear to crawl.

The love you show,
dissolves and melts away,
makes a fool of everyone,
is it in your creed,
to deny me the days,
what you want to see,
in garments sewn,
and hung on slates,
it’s more than you know,
incense, flowers, crazes,
to dance on hot stones,
you want to be free,
have places to go,
where no heart aches,
can race like an arrow,
a house by the sea,
the bell jar again,
I hope you’ll be happy,
whisper your name.

Whoever owns the night,
the wind hushed dunes,
it makes you wonder why,
I keep a cheerful home,
somewhere fog looms,
always from the shore,
forget the bitter times,
all the cool untruths,
still want him by my side,
living life without a phone,
always glad to see you,
nothing gets postponed,
the air goes splashing by,
searching for a final coup,
some waste all their lives,
others touch the stones,
kid themselves not to look,
what they had before,
what else can you do ?

It just goes to show,
when I sing the blues,
your name rings dead slow,
I’m witness to your sign,
all that you knew,
the ties that bind,
never dreamed of loans,
energy to unglue,
my frozen bones,
I remember the lights,
all the silver doodle doo,
you never made me cry,
this is what you know,
how to haunt a venue,
leave it with your soul,
you try to be kind,
it's nothing new,
I've marked those nights,
I’ll always love you.
