Vannessa
Sometimes you can't fool,
in the gentle rain,
those who read the news,
scrubbed by fire,
you hear yourself say,
truth is alway a wire,
want to hear my feud,
he gets me every way,
never troubled by the Blues,
a cool cat for hire,
it's hard to ascertain,
who's the biggest liar,
you boil me in a stew,
whenever you race,
to please all the crew,
why you don't ask why,
can't live without stain,
forget that patch of sky,
it will never sate you,
make you move earth again,
know what is to lose,
when I walk away. .

Unity
I sit stony at the bar,
watch the morning rise,
think of going nowhere,
sunshine's just for fools,
home is just as hard,
why disquise this news,
you can keep the stars,
don't wan't to see his smile.
before he left my Ma,
the people he fooled,
in drink and jaded nights,
playing American Pool,
I can feel you Da,
everything's revealed in time,
empty hearts don't travel far,
now you've ballooned,
i'll forget the hurt inside,
you're not fit to rule,
love holds the door ajar,
maybe take another wine,
it might hide the scar,
play The River's Wide.

Sometimes you can play,
can lie but I won't,
loading dice like a game,
now that's all right,
if you want to love alone,
me I only live life,
maybe it brings pain,
to my winter bones,
but whatever comes this way,
like the summer light,
turns me on,
no where a gentle sigh,
come the day,
you'll hear my sounds,
listen to that screech again,
especially out of sight,
the same in every war,
when peace is nigh,
who can ever say,
you will stay or fall,
know I am the hurricane,
let others carry on.

Trinity
Love blows warm at night,
howls in ancient places,
waits for the coming light,
when promises are broken,
spirits fan a lonely flame,
they sit on older stones,
it will be all right.
what is there to say,
just give it time,
beyond this war zone,
comes a sacramentsal lane,
a place we best know,
laughter in dark times,
no one here's to blame,
part of me is dying,
do what we must alone,
no one carries shame,
rivers rise on the flow,
please don't turn silent,
hope rides with us again,
returns with the morning tide,
listen to its song play.

I can't leave you alone,
it's a signal disgrace,
the way I choose bums,
Oh do it if you must,
let's get out of this place,
tired of gathering dust,
there's enough of me gone,
to leave a nasty taste,
pray that you'll phone,
here's another loss,
for someone without a case,
unaware of what he's got,
Ok you gave me the loans,
I'm a woman who shakes,
makes this stuff her own,
won't hide that I'm boss,
it's not something fake,
you don't know the cost,
why end on a Blue note,
life's not a stepping stone,
you could have had the lot,
is it me you love ?

Quitterie
Coming by train at night,
i beg they won't need us,
no more of shining bright,
we are woman of staples,
rock gentle and easy,
say everything will be OK,
it's a perfect delight,
for each part of deliverance,
our eyes have a kindness,
fresh linen red wine fables,
the souls of Sisyphus,
wallets are placed on tables,
we can talk of writers
from Baeudelaire to Aschylus,
kiss them quietly,
by yellow walls or gables,
shiniing in the Catacombs,
we console the poor unable,
our arms gentle serene.

Pippa
I don't want to know,
if you really believe,
I'll sink like stone,
won't hear while you say,
you'll exist without me,
the house is yours anyway,
when you're all alone,
will you think of the sea,
where no one hears you groan,
or listen to you pray,
as you pour out your soul,
crying down the highway,
when I'm really gone,
leave a taste bittersweet,
a pain in your wallet,
you interrogate my case,
am floating on the breeze,
who are you to state,
I'm only skin and bone,
go on then feel free,
its time I got going,
so much for your creed.
