Delilah
On your tramp ship at sea,
I swear to the night,
you won’t hear from me,
like a chain saw,
buzzing with lies,
they hang your cabin door,
my lost fidelity,
between moon and sky,
can you wonder why
from the earth's poor,
my terrible cries ,
raise the ocean's floor,
you’ll see me in weeds,
my lips blue tight,
then you’ll be free,
for now on the shore,
I’ll do what's right,
there’ll be no furore,
you'll fear my eyes.

Clouds furl the sky,
death brings no easy due,
even when you die,
who cares what’s fake,
stuff burns around you,
like wood in the grate,
something deep inside,
if it's not my perfume,
makes you want to fly,
forget barriers I raise,
not to look a fool,
try to stop your getaway,
however much you lie,
you must gift me too,
act like a tide’s high,
go on then remonstrate,
it'll be the end of you,
just go and sail away,
be the last you do..

Since you've been away,
there’s nothing left to do,
but each night pray,
gone on your fishing boat,
see your face in whirlpools,
act like a dreary one,
spooked by each new day,
surrounded by the blue,
why can't you stay,
always provide the hope,
even when no need to,
help me with the loans,
the sea is turning grey,
waves are rife with spume,
please help me to say,
I'm not good alone,
you were never cruel,
heave your lobster cones,
come back soon.

Can't get ‘round the news,
now you’ve ditched the car,
why no one tells of truth,
say you take the Metro,
speak of broken parts,
leave me with the loans,
I haven't got a clue,
where your savings are,
don't know what to do ,
everything we call home,
lies rusting on the tar,
kids stare out the window,
I sing some hopeless tune,
trapped within my heart,
have to find an avenue.
you're gone from us Joe,
am I just a tart,
to put jelly on our bones,
can only go so far.

We share jokes and push,
hopes on those who can,
geese rise in the dusk,
no one wears a crown,
they take me as I am,
don't put friends down,
those who make a fuss,
are always on the lam,
check out who they cross,
in our Ocean town,
there are no busy trams,
only ships make sounds,
find someone to trust,
you won't need a mask,
wear a hint of musk,
winters I get brown,
laugh before the dust,
am never on my own,
look at my tan.

Oh go to France,
you expect me to say,
Oh have another chance,
I won’t go mute,
your life’s not famed,
to treat me as a dupe ,
in fact you're banned,
once again nailed,
taking me for granted,
laugh if you want to,
your lies mere details,
still make you a fool,
don’t look askance,
when I start to rail,
passion does not last,
shame is but a fugue,
nothing more to say,
not within a curlicue,
to give you my name.

Please don't identify,
one lonely drunken fool,
lolling between me and sky,
nor ask me to suffer,
his lies like broken sewers,
do I look a duffer,
an angel on my wedding night,
where no one is uncouth,
now switches off the light,
why must I consider,
all his bad dreams too,
act like he's a winner,
let sweetness shine bright,
like a few friends do,
buttered dreams candlelight,
keep up with my promises,
an advent of this Cruise,
I’ll just step on it,
wear red spiky shoes.
