Respeldent desolate mail,
sets a passage clear,
nothing else must fail,
carry love within our home,
either far or near,
to show we're not alone,
nothing's left to bail,
raise toasts for different years,
let's not be derailed,
if talking makes you groan,
make laughter a career,
don't worry about the loans,
dance through horrid tales,
nothing else to fear,
who needs extra sails,
dream of other thrones,
nightmares at our rear,
ahead are golden domes,
bring me salty snails,
pans to ease my cheer,
food and wine and ale,
try another phone,
perform for tentative ears,
on twisted paths we're blown,
ignore the post this year.

Oh go away will you,
don't say i'm your fate,
love's not for fools,
it's useless to sing,
say sorry you're late,
whatever your thing,
to hell with sweet rumour,
when I pulsate,
it won't be with you,
you don't mean a thing,
no special case,
shiny suits and gold rings,
you'll borrow the moon,
deny church or state,
to break down my curfew,
you're never my cling,
even visions aren't great,
can't see anything,
I lie in dull ruin,
a warm heavy daze,
forget all my truths,
I'm with you today.

You live life by drips,
yours is not a big sea,
the blue light hid,
only fools hesitate,
bring each day few gifts,
it lets you dissipate,
latticed with fibs,
all just a wheeze,
where your truth lies bid,
this is no child’s game,
dancing around your greed,
your cherished ways,
what about the kids,
how they are squeezed,
while you're gone adrift,
wings won't striate,
their flight on the breeze,
can't wait to get away,
if you knew how to live,
we wouldn't need,
to hide from your lips,
nor walk unsseing.

His lips twist like knives,
he is not forgiving,
his eyes embrace the tide,
what else is new,
is it me he's kidding,
on trips to secret venues,
my mother says stay wise,
he'll make you earn the living,
many a tortured night,
no love runs smooth,
his tobacco tongue of lies,
maybe it's all true,
maybe she's right,
he's fresh alive and swimming,
sunlight, water, sky,
he delights the whole crew,
laughter's in his grinning,
my nails are bright blue,
I dance the river wide,
my fame belongs to winning,
nail him with my smile,
he'll cave in.

I float on the breeze,
heaven's in my soul,
no need to say please,
am witness to your plight,
still less our home,
with your weary lies,
nothing new to me,
better that i go,
with this sense of ease,
you mark many a night,
beseiged by shadows,
you won't hear me crying,
a taste of release,
I strike a cheerful tone,
saves me some dignity,
it just feels right,
escaping the loans,
takes time to get wise,
just goes to show,
when I'm off the leash,
you know in your bones,
best not to speak.

Brilliant great crows,
caw out your name,
summer's in full flow,
you want to be free,
is this really your game,
how to live happy,
give what you don't know,
register your shame,
find your own hollow,
dissolve in the sea,
only fools act tame,
it's not in your creed,
to number each bone,
circle every day,
taste marshmallows,
stones, flowers, pieces,
obtain drunken oblates,
swear your great grief,
weep as you go,
take your share of blame,
drink whisky you're told,
am sick of your fame.
