Jane

It's quiet here now, after fifty years of seed, my face cast in stone, can still see the cave, where praise be, I hope to be laid, my body under snow, back to the country, where comes the big blow, gave me this place, to encourage serenity, he knew about feast days, geese with barren tones, flap the air above me, high on my shoulders, sing in their own way, late for the season, I'm just the same, in the blue dawn, wrapped so I'd freeze, in my hands a rose, the old loving need.

Don't say I’m too late, that love doesn't exist, tell me get your skates, the earth rotates, like it has a stitch, I’m not afraid, someone asks for change, who is paying benefits, it'd be a cheek to pay, mister go spin your plate, want to hear my business, stay in your door frame, working in this place, it's like a aunderette, spinning out my fate, a little smile migrates, to all the other misfits, who’ve nevet seen a wage, forgive my lack of grace, when you figure it, I'm always blasting out, something’s missing.

Laugh at me I seethe, is it my grey hair, do I need new teeth, am I always off bloom, as if you'd care, use me like a broom, what might have been, it's not fair, who needs a life of ease, each night I play tunes, sing without a slur, I can feel those blues, don't dream of the sea, you're not that aware, stuck these fine evenings, like a fish to the bait, your eyes blur, why not say I'm great, you onced loved the moon, do you still dare, I'm looking at you, are you scared?

Who can resist, or seek to blame, the promise of a kiss, hidden by the scree, supplies of waste, gather at our feet, beware of those hit, don’t turn them aaway, who is being remiss, avenues tick with heat, sunshine falls in awkward shapes, love is all-seeing, let those who hiss, move over again, say rage will absolve us, for everything we see, we'll see again, including their envy, uncertain misfits, shoved tossed away, stand as our witness, love will remain.

I keep trouble at bay, that life requires, any problems brush away, they pester me for loans, my eyes seek the tide, maybe I'm not alone, stumble in the haze, drown all desire, few are easy or brave, scared within my bones, don't call me a liar, giving you a home, i'll ride the blue waves, beneath a hot sky, love is my only gain, why don't you 'phone, screech on roaring tyres, not good on my own, it's not what i crave, being hung on the wire, trying to have my say, a soul on fire?
