Bayley
Chained to our days,
here to beg forgive,
all the mess we made,
best not to moan,
nor want to rescind,
what’s lost in loans,
forget our smart gaze,
we bumble in bliss,
stuck like cellophane,
left all alone,
to consider the grift,
put jelly on our bones,
celebrate each way,
we'll love on a trip,
it’s more than trade,
drift in the time zones,
learn how to give,
going to the hole,
make the most of this.

A flower by my side,
just some little token,
now i am the bride,
ribbons in my hair,
a silk train to follow,
have accepted your care,
stupid to ask why,
accept I've been chosen,
is it my turn to fly,
forget all prior hurt,
angel memories broken,
now set off red flares,
heavens hear my cry,
not drunken or coaxed,
what is there to deny,
all I now share,
warm in my soaking,
you with me here,
has love really spoken?.

Dance in poor girls shoes,
sing songs on the wire,
always pay your dues,
it’s what my mama scolds,
don’t pause for any flyer,
waiting to be told,
each little bit of you,
balances out for hire,
stay and face the truth,
life isn't a stone,
you leave in the fire,
no one goes it alone,
if your choice of ruin,
sings louder than a choir,
beat away those Blues,
know in your bones,
when others conspire,
just enough to show,
you're not a liar.

Put me on the train,
I can hardly speak,
listen to the rain,
bring me sunlit avenues,
not a roof that leaks,
forget about rent due,
somewhere far away,
places that don't sleep,
I’ve had enough of fakes,
say you’ll see me soon,
before I start to weep,
cry in lavender rooms,
will you rue this day,
when crazy inner needs,
all come out to play,
station flowers bloom,
love drips in the trees,
soaked and out of tune,
can you hear the sea?

If you are so aware,
think you’re so great,
who am I to care,
am looking for a home,
a country to fit my face,
you're too far gone,
a heavy hand to bear,
the shaking down of fate,
you'll find me awake here,
heaven measures its zones,
then a voice fades,
stars are left all alone,
you chained me to a chair,
planned your great escape,
an easy Florida timeshare,
birds fill me with song,
don’t claw at my traces,
I've done nothing wrong,
let me go my way.

A diagnosis only half true,
I can tell the time,
on a tree-lined avenue,
you act like you know,
in the ties that bind,
breathe deep on my bones,
hope holds you aloof,
to see if they’re right,
why accept bitter fruit,
you won't be alone,
in this dawning light,
this house doesn't groan,
I'll sit near the flue,
it's not a crime,
let a fire warm you,
you have to keep going,
each steepled night,
when the kid's phone,
say oh she's fine.

Will you stay the same,
behind your screen,
smile as we dissipate,
catch days when fine,
the lovely plane trees
hazy bars sipping wine,
now on an early train,
tell me how you feel,
are you tired this game,
believe me am not crying,
won't beg to receive,
a love that's no crime,
but what does it take,
is it my dawn novena,
to bring you back again,
when you sail the line,
laughing at the blue sea,
can trucculent stars align,
for our waves to meet?
