Waiting for the train, a cloudy day a breeze, there's a tidal spray, you never really own, what's gone to seed, in these solid Ocean towns. long journeys nerves frayed, its gone half past three, he won't wave goodbye again, am cool but turn , when he closes the gate, still feel my stomach churn, me who'll take the blame, through windows in the rain, looking out over the Bay, me who shouts too firm, he'll always make me pay, let him go and burn, love in stupid ways.

Tacey

She measures a distance beaten, by public telephones, across fields of blue wheat, she won't bathe in wine , isolated but not alone, lives by a water chime, a granny rolls up sleeves, like the book she holds, her rifle next to the sheets, what better cure is a cry, to surrender perfume soaked, a lover from old times, her drink is whisky neat, ravaged lipstick Eau De Cologne, she whispers her feelings, secrets like lemons and lime, flow from her garden wall, she doesn't care for time, carrying this load.

Stella

Eyes beat like fireflies, who is the fool, dancing on the bread line, they ask me to play, this Sunday in June, face Up to past games, sunlight on the lilac, turns purple and cool, little faith in signs, crazy side of the Bay, they want me to muse, how they've been betrayed, our family's demise, the money tooled, burned thru their lives, don't ask me to say, every meeting's a duel, am not cut out that way, know whats been done.

Rayleigh

When you talk coastlines, when you feel safe, remember this time, pay off the loans, coming back you say, we'll have no more scorn, who needs to downsize, everything here's fine, push into the light, hope for better form, sharp as a needle in sunshine, happy for being born, don't talk about crime, a bridge across the plain, we'll forge own designs, try to perform, where kids are not pains, drinking wine from bowls, this is no game.

Quinn

Forget ferocious ease, for any justice sought, love sets off the genie, flings explosive contours, what cannot be bought, captured between its zones, she shakes her car keys, November's for New York, it's certainly no Odyssey, filled with caring thoughts, her worried family notes, how she keeps the score, nothing better seized, than the whiff of blasphemy, gilded behind retreat, more than any human cause, what betrays her dreams, stifles on the carrefour, is demands for more.

Pammy

Can you see that locket, what flag have you unfurled, you feel inside my pockets, is it me whose tame, turns cold upon your stare, all is not the same, when a kiss blows softer, loneliness does not share, a fuse without a socket, take your callow game, anchors hold me square, ships roll down their lanes, sit by trees eat Whatsits, clothes we'll never wear, surprise often comes upon us, amidst the evening flame, the river risen here, I'll always call your name, love beyond repair.

Oona

Do we stoke and burn, flames as blue as gas, shall we turn them down, you worship all the earth , now time has passed, but remain unconcerned, holidays you jumped and cared, never let a joy collapse, there was always prayer, on smokey brown chairs, with songs strong as brass, you'd consider money earned, leaves you eager to learn, small talk makes you laugh, you were never really spare, all I did was have affairs, all you did was fast, raised me to the air, told me to get lost.
