If you want to redeem, what dies in my smile, don't play at deceit, wolves howl at the moon, use phrases like a child, some carry open wounds, throw words to the sea, feel lost without signs, ask if anyone believes, what passes for truth, gives power to my sight, glory doesn't become you, those bitter seeds, raise heads to the light, defy my sheltered needs, your families ruin, is supposed to align, paths to stronger virtue, before you came for me, old whispers hold tight, if love sings eternally, open your eyes.

I don't want to know, if you really believe, I'll dance on your bones, sing while you pray, be consoled by that money, keep the house anyway, when you're all alone, think of the sea, she won't hear you groan, listen when you say, you’ve bargained your soul, along life's highway, what you really disown, leaves's a nasty unease, for bricks and mortar, you ask why I’m late, to comfort your greed, blame my lover's grace, he's only wood and stone, but makes my life easy, you need to get going, I'm feeling free.

Love blows warm at night, howls in ancient places, waits for light to slide, when promises are broken, spirits call out names, pour fire upon stones, it will be all right, is all you need to say, just give me some time, beyond this war zone, we can discard fame, others we won't show, laugh in gentle climes, act to up our game, part of me is dying, a flame burning low, no one else to blame, tides flow on their own, don't turn me silent, we'll see home again, return us on our rise, treasuring each day.

Now my voice is raised, get out of here loser, no more early summer days, I hate to be alone, but can do without you, my gaslighting Maestro, I'm no no angel, trapped in my own curfew, but earn my low wages, you thought the loans, the night time cruisers, the flirty girl poses, would let you set sail, without any crew, except me as your bail, now on your bones, I'll laugh at the screw, they turn on your throne, they've put you away, am well past the blues grow stronger in ways, beyond your certitude.

Coming by train last night, I swear i'm fine really, to put love out of sight, he lives around the Bay, rocks me gently, tells me everything's OK, it's a perfect sight, the moon rides the sea, in his arms I'm alright, morning fresh live bait, the soul of lost seasons, a match salted holiday, he talks of what's might, and kisses me quietly, he won't leave his wife, from our roof we’re able, to see Saint Peter's, I catch myself flailing, voices for evening light, be what you want to be, soar like a kite, wish it that easy.

Don't play your games, remember life's lottery, it's nearly the same, those who miss ships, search for the free, get salt on their lips, for better rates, they sit by the sea, it carries their freight, in songs of the wind, they make my eyes sing, the way you kiss, but now on your face, nothing comes easy, each trip you take, roving the Isthmus, a wine darrkened homily, gives me no promise, is it fair to say, you love only the quays, to let a heart quake, what about me ?

Sadie

Whatever you need, take the last can, then let me grieve, consider me a token, neither busted nor wan, don't think am broken, hang me on the breeze, or under a tonne, won't hear me scream, since you walked home, under a lilac sun, my heart left to go, you think it necessary, you want me done, ghosts of all conceit, drink to atone, a once pretty shone, my mouth like a crone, what you once deemed, so cruel to be gone, now you believe, I was the one.
