I'm Coming Home

I'm waking up early

Pack up my things 

I've just left the door

My telephone rings:

Good morning Mother

How are you today?

Have you spoken to my sisters?

Is my father away?

When will I next see you?

When are you coming down?

Did you see my last message?

I miss having you around. 

Well I'm doing fine

Just pushing on through 

Saw some friends last night

Was a nice thing to do

The truth is I miss you

I miss my father too

I miss all of us together

Three plus one and you

Well, I'm coming home

Im jumping on that train

I'll be back this evening

I won't go, I'm stayin'.

Sleep (For A Friend)

Where have you been my long lost friend?

Have you been down, by the lakes?

Or maybe on the beach, by the sea and the sand,

And the the sun, dancing on your face.

Or maybe you’ve been down in that basement, 

In that pit of vacant memories.

You shouldn’t go there my friend,

Slip sliding down the stairs.

Do you remember what you played me?

That banging? Like death upon my ear?

You searched my eyes for appreciation, 

Or understanding, or even fear?

I can see you now, in the middle of the street,

Hands open wide, the world at your feet.

Towering behind you like a bat upon the wind, 

She was there - St Mary enter in

Please don’t let your soul be driven away.

From where that spirit lay.

Step out of the car and sleep.

For what you cannot control is not yours to keep.

Vibrations

Dark vibrations

Keep me watching

Wide awake

They’ll never fade

A slave to them

I always will be

Here it is, the price I’ve paid.

In the distance

I see you smiling

In your hands

I see my soul

But here I am

With just a whisper

Far away, out and cold.

And here and there

And all around me

I fear that crack

That whipping wind

Here it comes

It wraps around me

When will I be free of sin

And what am I

But a shadow

Of who I am

Or what I was

I’m at the mercy

Of a whisper

Just a word, and I am gone. 

Dark vibrations

Keep me sleeping

Eyes wide shut

They’ll always be

The setting sun

Brings the night in

I pray to God, to set me free. 

Wild Wandering Wind

Eyes of disdain

Eyes of disdain, they clothe me

Find my refrain

Find my refrain, it finds me

With the stars, they guide me

In the night, they blind me

Carry on….

Coked up in shame

Coked up in shame, you hide me

Failed at this game

Failed at this game, you hold me

With the stars, they guide me

In the night, they blind me

Carry on….

(BREAK)

And when did it start?

Me breaking your heart

And when did it start?

Me falling apart

With the stars, they guide me

In the night, they blind me

Carry on….

Wild wandering wind………...
