Nothing’s left at stake,
sing any song you choose,
seek eternal escape,
now your on your bones,
he won't be wanting you,
tell him you're not alone,
reason says it's too late,
to heal any broken dues,
like a brigand seek escape,
another rolling stone,
makes all of it a tune,
don't worry if I'll cope,
find some tide or sail,
any sea will do,
other lovers lie in wait,
no knife to the throat,
lets me sail to the blue,
find out what unfolds,
cast on a watery fate,
be captain of the purview,
eat Oranges on shipping lanes,
Life your greatest muse.

Why is it always you,
that makes it seem,
every day brings good news,
not meant to live alone,
lucky I don't know unease,
ensconced in my new home,
if the wind blows cruel,
it won't stop my dreams,
even if I shed a few,
come over here dead slow,
dance that twisted beat,
love me with mellow tones,
sing when I need a tissue,
now is just our symmetry,
our walk on golden avenues,
even on the days you moan,
it's always easy,
to forget those blue notes,
laugh the way you do,
it's never just your beliefs,
nothing frightens you,
am I a prisoner released ?.

A cold wind blows,
it brings out my seer,
sudden like shining snow,
pearl doves arch above,
nothing else comes near,
breasts blaze with love,
shimmer in work clothes,
my smile is not a fear,
there are no antidotes,
along my weather front,
even if I take a beer,
fly to those who give,
their visions blown,
they need some cheer,
lifetimes left to grown,
find the will to shrug,
whatever ails me here,
engage another lover,
I design you know,
in these killer years,
sail from stern to bow,
let me it make clear.

I need another home,
somewhere warm to stay,
now that you’re gone,
what else should I do,
ship out all the waste,
forget that other Dude,
all my troubled notes,
take comfort in each day,
when I'm most alone,
the sea is lemon blue,
skin tingles with spray,
makes me feel brand new,
deep in my bones,
know this is the way,
being present on my own,
something to the good,
stops to laugh and say,
why act like a fool,
brilliant pheromones,
might whisper your name,
but riding on the ozone,
know I'll be OK.

I'm not your big sea,
the yellow light hid,
so much more to me,
you ask about my lovers,
all their surly needs,
they don’t have my number,
what I need to live,
to inculcate belief,
is test all my limits,
find a place of wonder,
witness life gently,
no stripped down covers,
red nails and ribbons,
enough to receive,
life's wondrous gifts,
enslaved or encumbered,
forever making journeys,
sway in sweet slumber,
don't think I'm limpid,
by title or deed,
a matchstick to rivers,
watch me succeed.

Here in my angry Saloon,
I play this mad game,
does it do me any good,
shadows make strokes,
across the dirty panes,
why shocked I'm broke,
chords of a twangy hue,
shift my guitar play,
orange beats the gloom,
down this long road,
they say loss is gain,
tell to him who chokes,
But I still hold a tune,
across wooden tables,
seeping through perfume,
I'll never be done,
with him off the rails,
but there's always one,
due north are the Dunes,
lying over the lake,
what happens to truth,
does it make waves?

From a cafĂ©’ that’s dark,
her lovely face shadows,
she sees supermarket yards,
dressed in night’s sentience,
across trolley she’s heard,
the bums take any bet,
spirits rise with a spark,
she sings like a sparrow,
allows herself to carry on,
it’s a rare essence,
not cut to the marrow,
when heeding life's lesson,
she can’t forget that lot,
they don’t fire arrows,
precise in each movement,
but feels in their presence,
a list bred with sorrow,
what to give as presents,
if there’s ever a chart,
to tick off forebearance,
she earns full marks,
all of us vagrants
