Evie

Take the love you know, Roll it on the rides, sail it like a boat, drained by winter's blues, before you pass on by, Spring is here for you, caught on the Cyclone, you like the left outside, nowhere else to go, you will make it through, a heart needs to fly, takes comfort in the Brew, it seeps through your bones, wind rides out at night, it doesn’t make you cold, all we ever lose, is waiting for the tide, cast another part of you, you will always show, the look of lover’s smile, never left alone, drinking holy wine.

Look up as you go, try to keep kind, leave what you can throw, stars show you the way, a cold white light, gone from me again, a constant need for loans, you walk the miles, smile what you don't own, there’ll be no claims, when you’re alive, you know how to save, through broken windows, your face shines, shoulders hunched to the road, future days, we’ll sit out the fire, back home to stay, my lovely child

Do you know, what people feel, the ice in their bones, that splintered smile, nailed to the promontory, catches all your crooked life, don’t have to show, provide a door key, when your cigarette glows, you’d rob a child, in mountain streams, to get yourself a wife, who are you to bestow, what others dream, all stuff you’ve blown, say it'll be right, spin everything on a throw, your lies a river wide, now you have to go.

This is not the way, to let me know, what can open the gate, somethings missing, but you don’t follow, even tho'you’re listening, thoughts run like the Spey, same when the wind blows, Spring's come around again. other times you’re whistling, eyes bright as a crow, now I feel like kissing, you make the ground sway, like i'm being towed, the shore a tidal wave, rub together my mittens, laugh to hear your news, sea around us glistening, mist rises on the dunes.

Azana

Please look this way, but not at the ruins, hung out like purple drapes, a tired waiting game, I always play it cool, but dream of the day, whatever it takes, to drink wine at noon, you to remain, I can’t explain, there are no rules, that keeps me this way, seeping in the shade, dreaming of you, my thoughts drip like rain, are you made of clay, I howl at some moon, hope lets me celebrate, come back soon.

Zena

I wonder if she's right, to dream of the sea, dancing in the light, she’ll splash and parade, make faces at calumny, her soul works this way, shrouds of her delight, shake out release, time is her lightning, her eyes bear the fray, to denounce all reason, she wants away, she’ll go to the wire, before such entreaty, is tossed on the fire, carries no dismay, is done with feelings, what are they anyway, says she loves me.

Yelena

Songs are only half true, when you smell the Limes, on a windblown avenue, invent what you don’t know, forget the tunes that bind, feel them in your bones, try to stay aloof, sing about what’s right, give no one a clue, you’re not alone, these desolate nights, let others bellow, don’t rage and argue, it’s not a crime, wood fire will warm you, when the kids phone, in the cold evening light, tell them to keep going, just be kind.
