Janice

Unhappy songs on my barque, funds still in the bank, vapour trails leave no mark, blown in on the Bay, a ticking of the crank, I might even stay, a peek inside the bars, blue air smells dank, won't be looking very far, what is there to say, my mind's already blank, maybe it's best this way, Oh you are a dog, no one else to thank, rolled me like a log, brought me to this state, left me a ham shank sailing out's my getaway, you’ll never know La, how hard a hammer can crack, won't see no door ajar, gas still in my tank.

Why hang around the mall, sit down in the rain, hover at infirmary's door, you are never home, always at some game, what makes you roam, why ask all this for, when you stay the same, how to close the door, can't you let it go, salt away the pain, put yourself on show, you hold the floor, your face a savage shade, is love too raw, don't want to moan, but time is getting late, life is not a loan, it sticks in my craw, I cry out your name, you’re not here anymore, it's not the same

Fire and evening light, when you play my tune, always makes me cry, hanging on my phone, if it rings with blues, hear your lovely tones, this beach comes to life, golden sand soothes, greets the coming night, it helps defeat the loan, accepts what I do, even stuff hard to fathom, white picket fences lie, they never hail the news, keep me from all strife, gather what has gone, I somehow lost the glue, defeat being alone, you’re always very nice, cannot hide what’s true, I skip in the tide, maybe next a cruise

Fire and evening light, when you play my tune, always makes me cry, hanging on my phone, if it rings with blues, hear your lovely tones, this beach comes to life, golden sand soothes, glistens the evening light, it helps defeat the loan, accepts what I do, even stuff hard to fathom, white picket fences lie, they never hail the news, keep me from all strife, garner what has gone, I somehow lost the glue, defeats being alone, you’re always very nice, cannot hide what’s true, I skip in the tide, maybe next a cruise.

Our eyes chase, places no wind blows, wisdom comes too late, forget how much we blew, kill the need to know, steer away bad news, always at the game, playing down the loans, tackle what remains, you never seem to rue, ways we’ve been let down, it's very good of you, worry about loss or gain, shrug and hide our groans, would do it all again, maybe it’s just a ruse, a dream life shows, something Deja Vu, wouldn't it be great, to stay out on the road, big windows for the pain, watch it fade and go.

If I warm my toes, around your fire, can’t deny what I know, how I choose, to bury many a lie, lost in my excuses, a chance to show, like dancing on wire, that I'm your willow, I'm not the fool, who plays for time, drooling with bad news, more the here and now, I’ll make things right, even take holy vows, my mood is smoky blue, don’t need to enquire, if it’s any good, I'm not undersold, you won't need a sign, live without windows, I can see fine.

Don't pray in the rain, swear upon your ma, stuff you can't fake, hopes you won’t use, smother what's the cost, find a place of refuge, see that portrait, one you wounded and lost, it’s of me again, whatever you choose, don't rage at dusk, whoever pays your dues, whiskey fires the brain, souls live near or far, you can't run or play, brook a dawn curfew, force the door ajar, adore golden avenues, gains you might make, always bear a scar, truth never runs away, driving fancy cars.
