Hailey
Outside the Yankee bar,
they say welcome home,
pavement like green tar,
names above the door,
on a painted stone,
scratched here no more,
pictures of fast parts,
the sun gone down alone,
tell me what's too far,
avenues close to shore,
a line of cars slowing,
the maritime sky above,
look up to lonely stars,
something says I'm done,
hanging the Boulevard,
love sold on telephones.

Before you came for me,
who carried my light,
drifting across the sea,
they say it isn't you,
whisper prayers at night,
do they know the truth,
somewhere at my feet,
I lose all the signs,
chained to believe,
even with this news,
a power beyond my sight,
beg the wind for volume,
love has a bitter feel,
always asks reasons why,
someone has to bleed,
wolves howl at the moon,
words fall ill at ease,
some mask an open wound,
keep him safe I weep.

Don't turn away silent,
see each other again,
its not such a bad time,
do everything to atone,
nothing brings us shame,
water flows on its own,
laugh in better climes,
is anyone here to blame,
part of me is dying,
beyond this war zone,
shifting sands of fame,
places strangely alone,
return us on the tide,
is all we need to say,
keep us safe inside,
if promises broken,
spirits set ablaze,
call on the unspoken,
make us dance again.

Who can ever say,
we warm on our bones,
life like it is today,
the picture's not kind,
we can cry but won’t,
it's not a pretty sight,
thoughts get waylayed,
the same at any Front,
stuff is far from plain,
like a dawning light,
steals in without sound,
forget our own cries,
maybe take a train,
find someone to love,
it will come again,
set our horizon bright,
from places left and gone,
choose another style,
we are far from done.

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.
