Yana (repeat of one mistakenly lost)
In the white washed ruins,
relaimed by the sea,
she shows you an heirloom,
a common enough gain,
the cross of Saint Anthony,
swings gently on its chain,
no impending sense of doom,
relates to the monastey ,
no radios play empty tunes,
the doctor's sad face,
is not as it should be,
mama has gone down late,
those shining hooves,
we ran in summer lanes,
will be as nothing soon,
her laughter gentle as rain,
rouses us from weary sleep,
she'll visit us again,
loss brings no certainty.

If he's happy let him go,
the one who loved you,
is that enough to know,
didn't treat him right,
you can say that's true,
how many buttery nights,
now he has another mojo,
stepping about thr room,
can’t you see him flow,
a mirror for your eyes,
when you hear such moans,
be kind and act wise,
he wears cotton clothes,
try to sympathise ,
for a man who's stolen,
caught out of sight,
douse him with perfume,
listen to the cock crow,
he won't refuse.

Summer clouds blue eyes,
she knows the uncertainty,
love is only a brief why,
what separates her bones,
stuff can make her scheme,
is the sight of water,
surrounding azure skies,
feels the pull of destiny,
not some useless guide,
God says she’s not alone,
solo thoughts and dreams,
the sweep of fiery domes,
memory offers her insight,
evening woods all green,
thrill of troubled flight,
conscious that she’s bold,
regards the harvest teams,
hears some old men groan,
she just loves the sea.

Do we know how to give,
will a lifetime of greed,
bring what we miss,
do you sometimes wonder,
if it’s in our creed,
to tear love asunder,
does it wear a feature,
tremble at the knees,
a deperate need to picture,
the faces of the others,
with all their surly deeds,
in lands forever summer,
please provide a glimmer,
perfume, lipstick, heels,
mske us more than glitter,
tell all our lovers,
stroll each day in weeds,
don't encounter trouble
are we so encumbered,
knowing what we dream,
to want the best for us,
change what we see ?

Amelia
On the Freeway makes a right,
losers drinkers and vagrants,
her son falls under that sign,
there's a Chapel below,
behind where cruise ships lie,
many of them call it home,
her mind racing and alight,
to reach that cool oasis,
far from the City's cry,
she eyes the cool clothes,
women who dance like wraiths,
sun aglisten on their robes,
at the end of terrible nights,
still as time she meditates,
he asks her if he'll die, ,
the valley bears holy stone,
monastery wall's sweet glaze,
a candle she carries alone,
parays to an ancient flame.

Before you came for me,
I would carry the light,
run to the sea,
hope that you'd care,
what you thought was right,
your sailing ship turn,
commerce in its need,
silk cushions swathe my thighs,
famed brightly for its speed,
sails billow to the wind,
rigging shining bright,
a journey to rescind,
the evening sparkling green,
a power beyond my sight,
will we dance at Thebes,
what is their to learn,
days I melt and scream,
you were never there,
the fury of my dreams.

The sea’s a dancing mirror,
it turns on the tide,
the breeze makes me over,
like sitting on a throne,
s boat lights my fire,
I act the annointed one,
can you mix less bitter,
this shining star of mine,
provide a sourball tremor,
aboard your sloop Carmona,
drifting in the lemon light,
deepens my bronze aurora,
let me flow like a river,
fill a cup of maritime pride,
love me while I consider,
if I'm a cossetted show,
you'll always be inclined,
to buy me summer clothes,
see me as your bride ?
