Querida
Memories alone are phased,
so happy to tease,
the shine upon your face,
you recoil at my thunder,
innocence complete,
your mind fixed by number,
my calls came too late,
another time to squeeze,
what I need to say,
a life uncluttered,
my insides screech,
go look for another lover,
one day I'll find my own,
even in my sleep ,
a dream surrendered,
who has greater muster,
grit in crossing the sea,
are we born to suffer,
am I the disgrace,
who has to beat a retreat,
bound fast to your days,
does it make you wonder,
stones, graves wreaths,
who breaks who asunder,
not knowing what to say,
unknowing to appear easy,
just look away,
a spirit released ?

Chained to your days,
can your heart forgive,
his treacherous ways,
it's best not to know,
or mereley rescind,
what's been the joke,
why live in a haze,
sheltered from the wind,
not stuck like cellophane,
make out on your own,
throw his stuff in skips,
put meat on them bones,
find love instead of trade,
welcome moonlight shifts,
no matter what he says,
when drunks start to blow,
ask if you're fit,
move out of that zone,
why jump the trains,
figure how to win,
there's no perfect way,
to learn how to give.

Why do these waters shine,
brightly whisper your name,
when your ship sails alone,
don't know what I'm doing,
it's all a stupid game,
canvas stalks our soul,
can I ever disown,
how I bought your game,
deep within my bones,
sail unlovely in the new,
a plan that brings disgrace,
makes me dream of you,
wherever birds have flown,
do they know the waste,
in this mud filled town,
the sea is brimming too,
your face is drained,
nothing more is true,
I'll find another home,
will try to stay sane,
I know what's gone,
is it me you blame?

Who can ever say,
you'll love it here,
dancing in the flames,
hell is just a slogan,
our eyes are very clear,
we sing sing as we go,
wouldn't it be great,
to live without fear,
blow in like a hurricane,
we'll pay back the loans,
drink less beer,
we still have a home,
nowhere's just a name,
its no place for cheer,
but no panic reigns,
problems the tide flows,
it just brings us near,
closer to our soul,
a spring moon today,
it gkides across the Mere ,
birds have gone away,
life is too dear?

A flower at your side,
just some little token,
than one day be a bride,
ribbons flutter in your hair,
laugh at stuff unspoken,
you'll always be just there,
drunk enough to ask why,
accept you've been chosen,
to always touch the sky,
die at all the hurt,
childhood dreams have awoken,
outside of anyone's care,
beseech heaven's insight,
neither shrunk unknowing,
beyond asking why,
say a little prayer,
forget about uncloaking,
no husband wants to share,
sing your favourite lullaby,
verify love has spoken,
a cloud sails the sky,
you remain unbroken.

Dance a poor girl's Blues,
sing softly on the wire,
you always pay your dues,
if no one 'phones,
given time expires,
let them go alone,
each little bit of you,
parts they desire,
haven't got a clue,
life's not a cherry stone,
you spit in the fire,
why should you follow,
their choice of ruin,
sings louder than a choir,
laugh at such tunes,
know in your bones,
they'll try to act wiser,
keep close to home,
whoever brings bad news,
screams who's for hire,
seek your own truth,
no one calls you liar.

Take your time,
shoulder what's to come,
drink a glass of wine,
get through this trouble,
he thinks he's so tough,
will no longer corrupt,
forget his broken life,
singing in your blood,
that's for another time,
all that you loathe,
you now discover,
is acting out what's told,
Oh he's entwined,
silent in his cups,
stories of his wife,
no more betrayals,
phrases that he's dubbed,
you laugh at his failure,
hear the clock chime,
he's so misunderstood,
remember well that line,
hand him back his love.
