Lips twist like knives,
he is not forgiving,
darts the river light,
so what else is new,
no one bites when fishing,
forgets our rendevous,
my mother says stay wise,
he needs to earn a living,
watch out for little childs,
but love is never smooth,
tobacco blonde and slipping,
maybe what she says is true,
then again there's right,
skinned alive when kissing,
who wants to live a lie,
always demands revenue,
growls if I'm not giving,
his eyes a topaz blue,
fries me with that smile,
deluded shocked by sinning,
am sick of this guy,
want a new beginning.

Living life by drops,
dismiss drink reasons,
time you made a stop,
words only grate,
about lousy weasels,
basking in your name,
body laced with coughs,
never just a wheeze,
have to show who's boss,
this is no child’s game,
strung out on greed,
where you say,
I give up such a lot;
but everyone squeezes,
I'm the kitchen cloth,
shouting at who's late,
family feuds over deeds,
fed up of holding sway,
give it all to love,
say you don't need,
to ever give a toss,
leave for the sea.

He hails when you come by,
laughs and hugs the kids,
asks the big why,
you keep a cheerful tone,
to do's on yellow lists,
always on the go,
his life starts to fry,
searching what he's missed,
some wait all their lives,
others walk the stones,
looking for a kiss,
what they'd known before,
forget the bitter times,
all the stuff he’s tipped,
gaze at days of tides,
dreams he can’t postpone,
always glad of a lift,
say let him come home,
whoever owns the night,
astonished stars and mist,
tell him don’t ask why,
life is for the lived.

Brilliant stones,
sculpture your name,
Spring's in full flow,
you want to be free,
this is some game,
how to stay happy,
dance on sprung floors,
treat penury as fame,
others will follow,
taste salt by the sea,
burst past the flames,
it's what you believe,
to love each home,
make friends with each day,
laugh when they go,
jewels and glass pieces,
not worthy of name,
only sing for release,
look to the morrow,
when no one feels blame,
wild as the Crow,
fly into the rain.

Memories of your face,
so eager to see,
the soul of your grace,
you recoil at my thunder,
my very conceit,
a man fixed by numbers,
send for me too late,
please bring me peace
the dreams where you lay,
a path uncluttered,
my insides heave,
why did you never love,
who goes out one day,
while I’m still asleep,
and simply fades away.
it does make you wonder,
Roses, headstones,graves,
who splits who asunder,
me I hear you say,
now you smile easy,
never afraid,
being released.

These waters groan,
they ignite our flame,
a ship brings us home,
don’t know what to do,
on cracking Spring days,
those asking for food,
can we ever atone,
what’s done in our name,
especially what's gone,
how bright is this view,
that flies in our face,
asks what we're doing,
the love that has flown,
across fathoms od space,
fires a warning,
the sea is lemon blue,
your eyes come awake,
nothing more is true,
whatever is told,
help keep us safe,
honour our blood,
keep the same name.

Exploding our chains,
will they ever forgive,
the mess we made,
best not to moan,
or want to rescind,
this life as a loan,
we live in a haze,
recovered from bliss,
polished like glaze,
we’re not alone,
to carry on like this,
there's meat on our bones,
search for each day,
to seize in our grip,
love more than trade,
welcome their stones,
consider the shift,
we're not going home,
when someone says,
you lot don't fit,
we’ll show them the way,
how to give.
