Oakleigh

You ask if I'll cope, if you could only help, to take us back home, why make me suffer, away from your Lens, don't need your buffer, stay out of my zone, you might mean well, but I’m better alone, then there's your mother, to keep in her shell, if not her then another, I’ll roll with the blow, sit on stools of leather, my skin tanned from snow, cocktails and scents, a life untethered, by you or your friends, will laugh at the rope, you dangle bereft, if that's all your hope, forget about heaven.

It’s you who brings hope, a flurry of shining waves, along the quayside's slope, you never stop to choose, always show the way, nothing you refuse, are you such a dope, to welcome each new day, as if you wouldn’t know, when you get the blues, let others stand and gape, some things you never lose, don’t wonder if you'll cope, always have your say, there'll never be a rope, to separate you from truth, try distant tides or sail, lover's fight alongside you, stuff you can’t condone, show down the lane, dance on slippery stones, you're so great.

Look at the moon, a Spring tide today, does everything pass so soon, the birds who have gone, seeking their lanes, sing as they go, my eyes are like pools, wouldn't it be great, to treasure something new, here in my bones, no one reigns, worries about living alone, someone not cruel, but poised sedate, who forgets about dues, how the wind blows, all emotion played, an emptiness done, my good parts are cool, clean as the slate, you'll come here too, we'll go dancing again.

He only smiles uneasy, hints at what to say, asks if I'm released, a high heeled slumber, stones money holidays, does it make you wonder, how I aim to please , without hope or shape, spent with him away, me his little number, no matter the taste , a life encumbered, my insides screech, let me please getaway, escape on the breeze, come for me sooner, it's a disgrace, he still rolls the thunder, dances with the seed, rises very late, but he won't ever see, what I have in place ?

My lover asks, if i was ever born, how come nothing lasts, don’t you have ghosts, dreams you’ve scorned, ones that drag you along, I adjust my mask, stifle a yawn, say don't rake my past, and stop throwing stones, it's you that is torn, let regrets stop you growing, detest our little chit chats, who am i to fawn, in houses made of glass, love is in my bones, can whistle at any storm, everyone needs a home, my key’s under the mat, why be forever at war, I’m built to last, give me a call.

My lover asks, if i was ever born, how come nothing lasts, don’t you have ghosts, dreams you’ve scorned, ones that drag you along, I adjust my mask, stifle a yawn, say I understand my past, don't ever throw stones, think what you've torn, let regret stop you growing, I dislike these chit chats, what it is to live in, houses made of glass, love is in my bones, can whistle up any storm, everyone needs a home, my key’s under the mat, can't be forever forlorn, I’m built to last, give me a call.

I'll have sweet dreams, with you on the ‘phone, better than how they seem, am not so stupid, to seek atonement, in the cause of love, look at those has-beens, who live through ghosts, we want to be free, even if you're blue, you still touch my soul, a beeswax glue, our great scenes, we ride to the coast, sweep away winter leaves, Laugh where we're going, slow oh so slow, let the ocean's roll, I know it's a scream, don't let out a groan, we’ll always be a team, long journey home.
