Amy
The aching half of you,
when asks for the time,
In a wind tossed room,
acts like you'll allow,
ties that should bind,
feel them in your bones,
it’s wise to stay cool,
if you see the light,
don't give out a clue,
know I am not alone,
on this lonely night,
might even go home,
won’t rage and argue,
allay your cruel jibes,
even nod a thank you,
you have to keep going,
I'll do what’s right,
you might even ‘phone ,
if you feel inclined.

Zara
Wonder if she's right,
to head off for the sea,
swap lilac for the night,
she’ll dance and parade,
make faces for a reason,
her soul works that way,
the shouting and fighting,
it slakes like Duty Free,
to some she's frightening,
her eyes bear the fray,
hungry for the season,
when she calls a day,
what falls from the fire,
when it's off the leash,
hurts her deep inside,
she is no stray,
it's a blessed release,
needs now to go away,
no more deceiving.

Will you come this way,
to see the ruins,
each time we separate,
in this tired game,
you play the fool,
I only see your face,
what does it take,
through cool afternoons,
for you to stay,
why try to explain,
there are no avenues,
for us to navigate,
here in the shade,
it gives me the blues,
thoughts on the rails,
are you made of clay,
I howl at the moon,
if there's a flame,
blow on it soon.

Never one seeking gain,
everything is sent,
why bother jumping planes,
don't get sore,
mend your neighbour’s fence,
fix their front door,
no matter what it takes,
always give presents,
even to those ungrates,
fools sing for applause,
get drunk like the rest,
you know the score,
no need to remonstrate,
to bring out our best,
stay calm at the snakes,
two and two make four,
gather up our friends,
why ask for more,
we're here to defend.?

Bring us love we know,
float it on the tide,
live with what you sow,
drained by winter's view,
wait to sail on by,
leave us with good news,
tales come from the roads,
which you say you’ll ride,
we beg again don't go,
what you give is truth,
a heart needs to fire,
why is it always you,
please avoid the drones,
wind sings at night,
you've nothing to atone,
it’s us who must lose,
the moon by our side,
stop us feeling blue,
write time to time
Valerie
Head off down the road,
try to be kind,
make that smile your own,
stars will show the way,
burn fierce in your time,
but no need to stay,
you won't want a comb,
to beat out the miles,
you were no clown,
what’s the going rate,
your eyes come alive,
learn how to behave,
laugh into the cold ,
what face doesn't shine,
when time to behold,
forget the past days,
don't put out the fire,
you’ve done with waste,
pray to inspire.

Una
Who will break the news,
struggling to escape,
tell of stuff you blew,
no horizon's so bright,
if your mark’s a stain,
hiding from the light,
why make life a curfew,
frightened of such waves,
know what they can do,
it’s nearly the time,
to hear a donkey bray,
you gaze at the fire,
sunrise surrounds you,
let tears fall away,
accept one bitter truth,
from this land of sighs,
don't pine for the day,
on long silent nights,
it will be OK.
