I stand in afternoon sunlight looking at the dead, wonder if they're alright colors of the early spring, is it something i've said between Me and his amber need, grass is green before night, geese fly overhead, my vision appears on overdrive, do some wear a ring, sloping, honking, to the Year ahead, kidding me stood perspiring, why I chose to fight, should kick him out instead, a burden to my flight standing in that yard looking, solemn at those whose tread, sung me all my comfort, all the love they blessed.

A tune as sweet as sunday, to settle in our bones, help us bless the way , we sit on side fair game, leave us well alone, all our friends the same, before they make us face, bitter seeds they've sown, at least show us grace, my eyes have gone tame, all the love we've known, turn it into shame, how we need to praise, when you deal with stones, that crack and wash away, won't make a gaunt face, use fake promissory notes, a moon let's us slay, your callow jokes.

Will they bind my feet, use me in the old ways, put chains around my knees, i leave it upto you, in your stupid craze, to get me far from view, as memory of home recedes, and other houses merely fade, who will hear me weep, forget those somnolent crews, with eyes as big as graves, no one else will do, in gardens of St Bedes, acts of love confer grace, bypass all uncertainty, don't ignore the few, when we struggle to face, how to play this tune, strew kindness to our sleep, bring askance to our days, let us learn to recieve, a voice in golden haze.

Places south east of love, what it means to be, sunk deep in the dust, no windmills on hills nearby, just a little yellow scree, what else would you find, take a measure or a glug, you can’t wriggle away, escape this parchment trust, give a small collective cry, why build heaps like these, what purlieus they prescribe, it just won't do to Cuss, think of water running free, life sometimes needs a plug, look at these empty skies, are we raised on the cheap, I am only asking why, we can't live by the sea ?

Reading makes us wise, what they tell us anyway, hold my head up high, from the mountain breeze, brings memory of his ways, mighty rivers unleash, love to billowing skies, join the mighty waves, i could gaze and die, I'm telling you baby, tears stream across my face, you're a fool to leave me, threshing in the night, burning ancient flames, our paths gone from sight, a necklace holds my keep, makes me seem a lady, I gave you choices creep, set my heart ablaze

If nothing scares us by day, how can we be happy, when night times rage, we are never alone, but it takes such energy, God tells us so, we all know some say, what's fate or destiny, but then who ascertains, living here among the bones, Americans don't do uncertainty, women and men finely honed, celebrate softly by the way, departed hollow fraternity, my moods calmed by rain, different from Mrs Jones, who would want to state, be witness to and condone, what's done in my name.

If we're good we'll address, love we're holding still, toil by water to confess, take the time to pray, how we'll eat our fill, let others mend our aches, strange days land at rest, our eyes beyond the hills, help us face such duress, deserts bode an empty fame, a sextant makes us shrill, dancing sight of sea again, God will find us blessed, our ship's waiting thrill, a flight to change address, no more fear than gain, nighttime proves our skill, fix our battered sails, hope you cannot kill.
