Emilia
The diagnosis half true,
you smell the Limes,
on a tree-lined avenue,
act like you don't know,
the tests are blind,
don't really go to show,
hope only for the few,
cradles weigh like stones,
you sit near the flue,
it's not like a crime,
fire warms your bones,
things you can make light,
each lonely moon,
when the kid's phone ,
try to say poof,
drink leads to night,
such a strange cacaphone,
to keep asking why,
where's there to go ?

Fear hollows out my night,
makes me clasp ancient flame,
waits for lamps to shine,
when I'm most shot through,
you’ll hear me straight,
consider any change to do,
a dream of life outside,
moments given over to pray,
drink a little sweet wine,
there are no avenues,
I won’t sail again,
until we pay our dues,
laugh in a better clime,
no one else to blame,
part of me is dying,
don't need pointy shoes,
arrange for Chess to play,
to guide me back to you,
beyond a love held tight,
can you apply a tourniquet,
squeeze out all my fright,
take me home again.

Will you stay the same,
beneath the trees,
each time we celebrate,
shy to your toes,
we drink in the heat,
toasting our warm home,
then the morning drains,
it's not just our feet,
seeps through our frame,
believe me I'll go,
to dream of the sea,
if you won't help float,
dollars for the game,
fix us something to eat,
my prayer's not the same,
to see you like this,
when sun sinks uneven,
will show you the score,
bright springime me.

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.
