The Fall

He's a shade in the shadow
Jumping back and forth,
asking what it's worth
knocking at the door of his master
dreamless sleep,
everything he needs.
Kitchen floors in figure eights
until the day he meets with disaster.
he is a kite on a string.
You are the wind.
You send him soaring above and wrap him back up
in you pocket.
The sun stalks the town,
he wastes away his days.
Hiding in the shade,
counting what he's saved never spending.
he's a hypocrit of sorts,
bender of the rhyme
sticking to his kind
racing against the time
forever ending.
he is a kite on a string.
You are the wind.
You send him soaring above and wrap him back up
in you pocket.

While You were Asleep

While you were sleeping
I heard your soul going out.
Too busy reading
The notes from the underground
Is it me or another you're waiting to discover?
Is it me or another you're waiting to discover?
While you were sleeping
I left without a sound
Tired of believing
Afraid you'd catch me out.
I've got a memory of one who's been days at sea
Acts are good when thoughts are cheap
Mend your nets with honesty

A Farewell Glass

I'm a farewell glass
at a bar for two
I'm lemon jelly
shoot when I'm ready
lost without you.
So cut me in two
If the trapeze breaks.
If the eye stays true
I'll aim my arrow
far from your habit
bit more than I chew.
Well that's nothing new
And it's only that you're asking for
the words you already know.
And it's easier to watch it pass
when the heart is a lonely soul.
When you're walking the plank
to the sea of blue.
tried and tested
all you invested
comes back to haunt you.
So cut me in two.
And it's only that you're asking for
the words you already know.
And it's easier to watch it pass
when the heart is a lonely soul.
