I put away the years,
his lovely face warm,
laugh over a happy beer,
geese rise in the sky,
fly above the farm,
they know of your plight,
say why you're really here,
stretch out wilted arms,
cards marked and left in fear,
just across the heights,
you're not that far,
but atay for the night,
in long alcohol tears,
spell out what's been lost,
need to make parts cleat,
a veil passes my sight,
what's broken hits the alarm,
if you've had a fight,
I'll undwestand

Ferdy
What you have been taught,
to always play the fool,
bores you as an unread tort,
nothing more to say,
try to make life smooth,
drive in falling snow flakes,
go where life is fraught,
rage against the Blues,
spin through winter's court,
think of sunlit days,
the sea still surrounds you,
just go within its frame,
no books or items bought,
home provides no clue,,
life is more than nought,
set your heart ablaze,
the trail is well used,
everyone what you cannot do,
you;re going anyway.

Ella
You say up your game,
ask how much we chance,
shuffle what remains,
listen to our muted song,
who would ever chance,
all the things gone wrong,
watching the rain,
sheet down naked footpaths,
you pause in refrain,
sing the ease of crowded bars,
cargo ships and sunlit France,
rooms with dark marks,
red lips white faced,
cigarettes smoked and laughs,
sipping fine champagne,
here we just bumble along,
flying by our pants,
wish we were better strong,
watching while lighted trains,
moan thru' stations underpass,
burning like flames,
we're not like tramps.

Dorothy
Blows flame into my bones,
shares jokes in the dust,
then she stays alone,
knew her from the jail,
a blanket on the dust,
always cheery never fails,
brought her own console,
with that smell of musk,
a woman so strong,
ice blue on her nails,
files them till she's bust,
absorbed in all her ways,
no one asks for loans,
dry cake without a crust,
in what she has foregone,
haunts me like a ghost,
I did what i could,
smoke cigarettes on the phone,
she rides away at dusk.
