Nicky
Fear hollows out my night,
makes me summon ancient flame,
waits for lamps to light,
when I'm most shot through,
you’ll hear me straight,
change is my due,
a dream of life outside,
special moments to play,
drink a little wine,
there are no avenues,
I won’t walk again,
you'll never pass through,
laugh in a better clime,
no one else to blame,
part of me dying,
you won't shine my shoes,
of all the pieces today,
my tide will turn blue,
beside an early sunrise,
you can't supply what's great,
don't look away in fright,
I won't come back again

Say it’s time to leave,
don't really want to go,
if you must believe,
now just want away,
to live or die alone,
dig my own grave,
our love is bittersweet,
no real need for home,
kids house dog big dreams,
shifted silence of your company,
your dance on moonlit stones,
I want to stay pretty,
sing along and pray,
the only song I own,
before you jump the gate,
can you hear me scream,
locked to an iron stove,
like the caves of Thebes,
please don't push me,
I only weigh eight stone,
who are you to grieve,
when I go to Rome ?

It's been a while,
so there you go,
waited on you like a child,
when donkeys start to bray,
or the cock crows,
you always fade away,
no need to find,
what you never owned,
could search for miles,
stars might show the way,
frozen in your clothes,
for all you've gained,
say you don't mind,
it's just another show,
freshens up the time,
will you stay a while,
wrapped up in the snow,
have you got the style,
sit by a fire,
don’t worry or scold,
try to stay kind,
why don't you know ?

You like sugared tea,
my tears are lachrymose,
your jokes not for me,
once it might have been,
suppose you atone,
wind turns in the chimneys,
lets replace uncertainty,
ride out the blow,
Oh we'll have to see,
nail your wandering feet,
the moon makes to roam,
lights pathways you leave,
who needs the sea
tides are very close,
more faithful than your being,
should I bother to stitch,
the hung up clothes ,
now I've ceased believing,
kids are still at home,
I'll fix a drink alone,
change into bright clothes,
make some calls by phone.

Your kisses leave me,
crying on the train,
bad tongues raised in family,
your shocked views,
run dread across my face,
more jelly for the blues,
who knows what to believe,
but a growing grain,
brings blessed relief,
who'll protects this crew,
from the orphanage gates,
do they hear the truth,
a swollen relief,
a stillborn fate,
a tiny star across the sea,
you can't see how cruel,
life can be,
before sunrise looms,
your tears won't reach,
me going away,
guilt riddles my dreams,
hope for better days.
