What might have been,
just doesn't seem fair,
for this life of ease,
you gave me no clue,
not even aware,
how to weigh such news,
like swirling a bad dream,
your eyes flared,
a stifled out scream,
tell me the truth,
is my voice slurred,
do you need more proof,
to drink on sad evenings,
you don't care,
even if I dance a treat,
am no longer yourmuse,
is it my thinning hair,
don't sing me the blues,
can you love my new teeth,
do you think you dare,
the way I aim to be,
make you scared ?

Who needs a shrink,
when a lover somehow,
provides a little drink,
all the mights we own,
in a village full of clowns,
turns daylight into stone,
I know what they think
he couldn't weild a plough,
but has me on the brink,
I'm beginning to show,
now he's left the town,
all the stuff we've sown,
it only takes a blink,
outrage at what I've done,
a fallen woman glasses clink,
I fear what they propose,
though a whole summer down,
sweat shines on my clothes,
face like an ice rink,
to shut off the sorrow,
bars and noise and stink,
will they ship me now ?

You appear stoned,
your picture up in lights,
scrawled on the wall,
if love holds true,
why make me fight,
because they all love you,
say you're not alone,
know which bells to strike,
beat or break my bones,
they call you Miss Fortune,
pretty before your time,
they don’t get your blues,
the screams down a ‘phone,
dreams of paradise,
a flame without a home,
your big account of virtue,
passes within my sight,
the wind blows bad news,
down the April line.

Your smile makes me prance,
But fear being caught out,
by your smart chit chat,
take all the chaff,
I'll try not to pout,
smoke and look daft,
what others have found,
hearing me shout
I'll sometimes perhaps,
in what you call balance,
we might as well float,
you make me worse,
with your garage flowers,
your old mouldy boat,
take my hand and ask,
willl any of this last,
give life a bloody clout
I say forget the past,
what's it all about ?

The wind going boom
hear the clock's chime,
pray outside the room,
Please God let us try,
brush away these times,
laugh at reason's why,
like I could never argue,
to lead a generous life,
a breeze to the rescue,
dance with love you sigh,
sing it like a lullaby,
even cold as ice,
Spring has come to bloom,
sing that song you try,
but it's not your tune,
sing before you die,
love has no birthright,
the Ocean's deep inside,
where we all reside,

Signs that say we're done,
well before sunset,
ashes scattered and gone,
God's association due,
our astonished bet,
no whispered thank yous,
fire and distant thunder,
leave me here to set,
unbroken amongst us,
my tongue is like glue,
no matter what the debt,
what does it add to,
don't know where I'm from,
tired of making threats,
beyond our daily stone,
my arms hold him yet.
these are not my blues,
houses that we let,
fighting over what to do,
somewhere there's a jet.

You know what i mean,
love doesn't throw stones,
hurl insults at the stream,
i'm cool but burn with rage,
even if I'm alone,
he always opens the gate,
this isn't my scene,
a journey's path is cloned,
long past where I've been,
useless to hesitate,
knife is on the bone,
it's always too late,
who will take the heat,
bells ring what i'm doing,
no one makes me plead,
wave goodbye to heartache,
he has come along,
my turn now to trade,
he has to atone.
