Before you go and blow it,
dust settle after breeze,
be brave enough to know it,
what flies before the rain,
has reached a God so sweet,
don't brush him away,
love lies here soaking,
laughs at all you've seen,
faith is never broken,
sing that song again,
brush red and golden leaves,
accept it's all a game,
hear a lullaby groan,
never fake what is to be,
forget all you've shown,
fly away to Spain,
dance on islands eternally,
let no one hold your reins,
best not to moan,
keep hold of your creed,
sing softly as you go,
on land or by sea.

Wild Flowers in your tunes,
bending at the thrill,
when you note the truth,
life is not some rosy jape,
that anyone can spill,
to make you feel unsafe,
give money to every fool,
find ways to laugh still,
draw comfort in their hue,
walk among them every day,
they will help you kill,
the love he threw away,
forever dream of good news,
don't worry at night's chill,
you are free of refuge,
douse yourself in perfume,
make your voice tilt,
feel your petals bloom,
walk amongst the hills.

You pull on your gloves,
take your time,
tell him beat it Bud,
remember which tune,
that mends broken lives,
hear it still beat true,
heaven's a cover,
when you reach that line,
never sing it in blood,
ahall I hum it for you,
listen to the clock chime,
you have nothing to rue,
praise all those who scrub,
lead generous lives,
they'll always find love,
like never want to chew,
mysteries of your life,
there's so much to do,
hear the wind above,
savour each red wine,
fly like a released dove,
never be frightened.

In a room that creaks,
listening to the rain,
I turn to him and speak,
say this is not my tune,
he looks away,
my words are too few,
the walls are washed green,
the moon sits waiting,
It knows where I've been,
Paris and sunlit avenues,
not somewhere opaque,
places with sinews,
wrapped in a cotton sheet,
he pulls at my traces,
his long gait and knees,
the shingle is slippery,
the bed's like a cradle,
you can smell the sea,
love marks the day. .

We live or die in here,
the first one offers wine,
others circle near,
bereft of any lonely starts,
our debts remain high,
the journey always far,
a moon shows trees sere,
each place circled bright,
no one hides their fear,
whoever makes their mark,
another wonders why,
chirps some happy part,
lemon eyes cry bitter tears,
chill a sparkly night,
rise of danger always near,
before any falling star,
a place withr sodium lights,
tells you where you are,
on walls is written life,

Please try to release me,
is it really so hard,
when I'm not yours to be,
there are other plans,
that are not for sharing,
can't you understand,
that tune in blue seas,
spreads light on the dark,
spins back on the lee,
you somehow need to snare,
say heaven's a card,
plan when we get there,
you can set me free,
not chained to the earth,
with little homilies,
those hymns to serendipity,
that you say are fair,
your voice so discreet
makes me feel scared.

Is this what we're taught,
you know about horses,
how to turn them out,
won't you take a chance,
forget about losers,
come with me to France,
they have lovely waters,
shuddering at what's sought,
makes me pause for thought,
is it me askance,
scouring life for daughters,
that boil not yet lanced,
laugh our simple laughter,
play a world wise chord,
places still left for wonder,
we'll use it for balance,
ride around like Lords,
give tickets to chancers,
everything's bought.
