It's been some time.
but there you go,
let others wait in line,
when donkeys start to bray,
or the cock crows,
I'll have my say,
no need to find,
what you don’t own,
nothing more than a smile,
stars show me the way,
frozen to my clothes,
this is no easy getawayy,
kid I don't mind,
it’s just another show,
is there a little wine,
stay here and meditate,
wrapped up in the snow,
sing the night away,
raid s skip for fire,
won’t worry or scold,
it's been a while,
feel it in my bones.

Why say the same,
beneath lilac trees,
each time we separate,
remember the times,
we sank in the heat,
sat drinking wine,
now a morning pain,
rises from my feet',
in this tired game,
believe me I'm fine,
I dream of the sea,
don't even try,
it all sounds fake,
even my dawn novenas,
fail to woo you again,
smile like a sugarbabe,
fix you something to eat,
your eyes hesitate,
don't ask to remain,
like stars fall uneven,
stay out of my lane,
no one has seen.

Your wishes make me,
shiver on the train,
alone bereft of family,
the hi jacked news,
lies tired across my face,
jelly for the blues,
wonder what to believe,
the falling rain,
a blessed relief,
it brings into view,
whye shifting tales,
never say anything new,
a swollen handkerchief,
an echoed fate,
a star across the sea,
is it so cruel,
to wonder how life plays,
before sunset looms,
where tears reach,
a soul in disarray,
don't spoil my dreams,
luck's on its way.

Ever think when beat,
perhaps with a little flair,
you can rescue everything,
if love’s the game,
heaven’s best to share,
all that bears a good name,
when in depths of need,
will you be taking care,
it's not an easy thing,
getting there’s insane,
pockets full of tears,
even on the lord's freeway,
can you ever keep,
a wooden face at fairs,
drink your sole conceit,
find something else to tame,
pass hours on hard chairs,
even struck in chains,
will everyone see,
the gaps between my fears,
eyes lit like kerosene,
my hopes shining clear?

This is not the place,
to ask the reason why,
love beats an easy escape,
a sky of hazed tomorrows,
shades a lonely time,
nowhere else to go,
soaked before a window pane,
desolate in my cry,
why try to emulate,
what little's left to know,
whoever can send awry,
coffin's one-way show,
when I haul the rail,
boxcar trains safe to ride,
eyes of men turn away,
no one's lips will glow,
near this sweetheart’s eyes,
hard as an icy furrow,
no easy gig to make,
what gets left inside,
take poems to the grave,
eyes open wide.

Is this how we iniciate,
our inventive best,
when we twist and fake,
open every door,
ask for proper sustenance,
wake up sore,
fuelled by what we take,
behave like all the rest,
sinking to negotiate,
fools sing for applause,
faith our last bequest,
two and two make four,
the night's cool probate,
provides a gentle whisper,
hurt comes at walking pace,
the drunken poor,
beg us for presents,
they leave open the door,
searching for fame,
scattering inocence,
rushing us away,
lost on the sacraments.

I stay by the door,
my face a savage hue,
the hurt is swollen raw,
brook no sense of ease,
don't expect to Queue,
will never say please,
am not defined by chores,
waiting here in gloom,
everyone has a clause,
it’s hard on every street,
no one hears good news,
we have no drums to beat,
I still clench my jaws,
think of a life anew,
sweat in furious noise,
won't shout and scream,
spitting out a spume,
only fools take heed,
can you hear them roar,
losers blow a fuse,
all we've beeen taught,
rests with you.
