What keeps you moving,
a crescent moon at Easter,
aan oar that fits a groove,
an arc of scurried waves,
does it set you free,
now they know your trade,
A flight to distant water,
forget troubled seasons,
no matter how much laughter,
you hear the morning play,
firmly north on Ferry's,
but consider what you say,
every act of loving,
guarantees no sweetness,
sometimes it's very rough,
please don't run away,
you'll die without coffee,
praise each dancing day,
be what you want to be. .

You shouldn’t kiss,
this cabal of spirits,
Oceans dance on your lips,
not like those at home,
whose bones like to sit,
scared to be alone,
you’ll engage or quit,
taken to your limits,
when that fever hits,
bolstered by unending hope,
even love gets it,
happiness in climbing up,
tides turn at the instant,
venture on a cargo ship,
laugh at middle distance,
never one to misanthrope,
watch the water glimmer,
soon you'll find a note,
moon always distant.

Bella
She knows she's been around,
an unbroken sky,
leaves many a naked mound,
a rose clustered tree,
while others cry,
she makes her great leap,
a kid from our town,
she promises to fly,
break ambition all bounds,
although born and weaned,
and raised by signs,
she misses yellow fields,
even with her crown,
city lights bring her back,
to lowing cattle sound,
knows her homely dream,
still asks for reasons why,
kisa and fireside scenes,
make her want to die.

What if the stars are great,
my lover slowly fades,
lately gone from this terrain,
doesn't like my happy tone,
the walls are limpid grey,
my head is full od stones,
look at my hands shake,
it’s difficult to keep going,
when a voice gives way,
the kids have grasped the bone,
confined within their days,
furious now he’s gone,
the moon is light as cake,
the seasons roll away,
I’ll see them happy again,
they ride the roller coaster,
say he's now a flake,
I laugh and know I'll cope,
but each night pray.

Sometimes you can’t explain,
the hurt you feel inside ,
the way his face fails,
my lover, proud, unbowed,
no longer hails the sky,
but dances in the clouds,
nothing gets in the way,
but the retreating light,
or how his eyes play,
a man of rage unbowed,
who beat out his time,
but hated crowds,
once he jumped the rail,
found places safe to lie,
many a time the jail,
when he went down,
behind a confessional sigh,
his face blue as dawn,
did I once ask why ?

Who do you want to suffer more,
me or your blessed lover,
outside the Cafe' Du Course,
it’s a perfect sunny evening,
kids looked after by mother,
love is within my keeping,
all your little more’s,
in life between the covers,
show me the open door,
if you think by bleating,
you're wiser than others,
let's forget your cheating,
Campari is an unwritten law,
September smothers,
the life you had before,
moonlight finds us sinking,
to last bells of summer,
friends around us seeking,
when to close the shutters.

Days of late summer fire,
nights are black and warm,
stars come out like ice,
the love of dreaming,
especially when not torn
always tugs at me,
no matter what desire,
winds hold a gentle force,
they carry all our sighs,
love is not for scheming,
we lay our smart clothes,
to dance across the sea,
cannot trace the tides,
tell us wehere we're from,
no matter who conspires,
in the yellow evenings,
your eyes like a storm,
a name for very breathing,
written as a charm.
