Ivy
Standing by an unlit lamp,
a tree, a bridge, shaking,
await my fellow tramps,
listen to some muted song,
who would ever negate,
a need to belong,
better take a chance,
we can plays this game,
maybe visit south of France,
hope we're not wrong,
looking at the rain,
stream against a wooden bar,
ask how much this path,
will shuffle our remains,
without many wounds to lance,
someone will come along,
maybe even praying,
put something in our pocket,
cigarettes and laughs,
beer sipped like champagne,
try to make life dance,
praise each coming day.

Hope
If I’m set to freeze,
soul strung without fire,
you'd better set me free,
in your eyes amour,
you know what's right,
calculate uneven scores,
rock me gently,
say everything ‘s fine,
say don't worry baby,
your heart is my cause,
bound and entwined,
like jelly on the floor,
perfect and serene my queen,
you exert quietly,
do what others have dreamed,
a perfect lightness,
have I just seemed,
to float on water,
a star across the sea,
I swear to the night,
let me reach the quays,
this is my time?

You won't let me fail,
if anyone asks to dance,
in rooms of evening pale,
you always play the fool,
wait for kindness to pass,
no path too smooth,
nothing more to say,
except a glance,
at what you do today,
I rage against the news,
empty as a lonely repast,
my eyes set on you,
life is finely weighted,
your face tanned,
I'll inform you later,
what you must do,
pull over make a stance,
tell me you're no fool,
whirl me 'round again,
test me for balance,
say what you need to say,
if you want a chance

You scream the news,
in troubled nights,
as if you knew,
all the different songs,
left hanging on the line,
you let loose and gone,
fire burns in the flue,
don't tell me how to cry,
when you sing the blues,
it’s not me who's locked,
swimming against the tide,
losing everything lost,
no matter what you use,
however hard you try,
no one is immune,
who cares who is crocked,
something deep inside,
shines outside my shock,
I won't hit that tune,
clouds furl the sky,
death brings no easy due,
especially if you lie.

I throw away the years,
every age has its crust,
the laughs and happy tears,
no life is too short,
for those who you trust,
in our toil of waters,
you run like the deer,
carry a smell of musk,
in hazy bars so dear,
I know what you taught,
spinning pennies in the dust,
laughing never overawed,
what brought you here,
on this tidal flood,
somone so sincere,
no book or district Court,
hides the fact you’re bust,
what you sought,
blow flame across my fears,
bring me all the luck,
I hope before you disappear,
geese ride on the dusk.

Lit up at some ocean bar,
within the hurricane zones,
searching forgotten odds,
only dumbo's pay their dues,
make you drink alone,
leave you here to stew,
we can only go so far,
before the evening folds,
to bring out dodgy cards,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
my ravaged face turns Blue,
your hair is like tar,
Saints reveal their bones,
we've so gone afar,
the trail is well used,
far away from home,
life circles around us,
ours is not a lucky star,
whenever we are smote,
hotels offer us a Spa,
journeys of love bespoke.

Don't break holy orders,
claim it’s all your mother,
stuff you swore,
lover's free to stash,
all the stuff you smother,
windows without a sash,
can you see my core,
a belly like an oven,
flames that will endure,
whenever there's no cash,
you curse your brother,
he says don't be flash,
hard words behind his door,
fools live with clutter,
hands held out fraught,
no book or deeds lashed,
must you lie like others,
ignore their crash,
they'll pay a heavy score,
always be in trouble,
love for you is raw,
have you got cover?
