Dylan
She taps on the bar,
sees the morning rise,
hits the road burning tar,
dont look at her eyes,
she knows abut fights,
another fine surprise,
she'll just carry on,
everyone's cool at night,
feels inside what's gone,
ask her to stay a while,
you can see the fright,
that hollows out a smile,
howl in ancient parts,
her bags are heavy lite,
prays for dawn to start,
do we take the time,
to say it’ll be alright,
a kiss before she flies,
pushes hard at lights.

Go on then act free,
your tan is well suited,
what am I to believe,
demand of you to sing,
the only song I knew,
blow it on my ring,
it's a tune bittersweet,
melts me to my shoes,
floats above the street,
who are you to bring,
the only gain in view,
if you're so uncaring,
smell again the sea,
you don’t need an excuse,
to rock me to eternity,
wrap us in this sling,
lay aside your dues,
me who makes you think,
you never had a clue.

The sun rises uneven,
cars fill up their lanes,
must you wait 'till evening,
beyond the night sky,
all I want to say,
lies buried deep inside,
a sepia rush of feeling,
a glow just the same,
a brown remembered season,
will you heave the line,
its important that you stay,
not go off drinking wine,
accept my dawn novenas,
smile like on a train,
sooth my bones at least,
know it's not the time,
but please see this way,
believe we are entwined,
try to love me late.

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.

Yanny
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.?
