It's been a while,
so there you see,
wait like a child,
when donkeys bray,
or someone sneezes,
I'll have my say,
no need to enquire,
where you've been,
seeking sundry smiles,
a star lights the way,
frozen in your sheen,
this is no fools day,
baby don't you mind,
just another scene,
my skin won't rind,
i'll stay a while,
tucked on a bar seat,
won't worry about time,
toast this open fire,
weather looks to freeze,
i'll try to be kind,
kill your disease.

You like heavy sugared tea,
my tears are lachrymose,
your jokes just bore me,
once they might have been,
I suppose,
am never one to scream,
wind blows from the east,
we'll ride out the blow,
replace it with certainty,
the moon and stars meet,
above the high tree zone,
you'd never believe,
what we're seeing,
the kds still at home,
who needs the sea,
they keep us reeling,
we just need to know,
when they will leave,
Dad's kost his peace,
I drink alone,
don't bother with coffee,
more our lost soul.

Suddenly kisses leave me,
shivering in the rain,
head beset by family,
your wailed news,
puts dread across my face,
more heartache i can use,
who knows what to believe,
what will Daddy say,
hurt or blessed relief,
who will pay the crew,
for these ruined estates,
do they know the truth,
a swollen handkerchief,
covers your escape,
fortune croses the country,
you can't see how cruel,
life before sunrise reigns,
even when you lose,
me on a beggars retreat,
sent packing on my way,
swallowed up by dreams,
gambled all away.

You know what it means,
to live alone,
habits harden into screams,
so cool I burn with rage,
not just merely to atone,
given time to congugate,
pass journeys into dreams,
find explode on their own,
look at where I've been,
hold to make life great,
sound like a bugle horn,
semand things in my wake,
adjust saying don't heed,
all the things I’ve wrung,
remain perfectly at ease,
bask in new found fame,
he lifts me body and soul,
my turn now to say,
unwrap all my schemes,
can still hear him groan,
am your new queen,
pick up that stone.

Is this really the place,
to ask the demons why,
my lover's down the drain,
a haze of loss so callow,
he beats out his time,
has nowhere else to go,
I soak my island gains,
choose to ignore his cry,
sip daquari's again,
what he needs to know,
does not disturb my sky,
how he finds the show,
when I jumped bail,
no walls left to climb
he wouldn't let me fail,
his gaze simply follows,
how he lost love's tie,
witness a gentle furrow,
no easy way to fake,
what hurts him deep inside,
such a pitch i make,
eyes open wide.

Don't say get a grip,
when I fail down again,
anyone can have a slip,
I need payers to pray,
smooth talk my playmate,
any quest to get away,
losers have surly lips,
am manacled to this game,
I take a coin and flip,
you'll see how I sway,
at 49 different raves,
credit on all my slates,
loans make your eyes dip,
into consumptive flames,
give me another nip,
won’t know how I flay,
unkept spirit's shame,
hope for an act of faith,
if I'll make this trip,
hear the wind scream,
lashed to a coffin ship,
it's my father's name ?

My eyes try to fix a place,
where we just carry on,
and no one feels unsafe,
who cares about the bones,
arranged like Babylon,
hung above the river zones,
when he sees my face,
running lines of alcohol,
makes it all sudden plain,
a time to stay alone,
a wolf howl at the moon,
don't want him around,
maybe I'll take a train,
find someone else to love,
glide across the lake,
who knows how it’ll go,
a slew of broken bonds,
laid heavy as stone,
how do you kindle flame,
with eyes to face beyond,
can we ever really say,
where we come from?
