To Blue Sands

walk, walk to blue sands,
walk, walk i knew lands,
come, come and meet me,
and sing, sing,
sketches in a blue room,
walk, walk to blue sands.


The Drowning

fade out humming, fade in sound,
counting falling seconds in the hour,
breath out, breath in, colours merging in,
and the sea is turning blue,
oh so blue,
everything’s turning blue,

want to be lost at sea, waves crash over me,
ragged rocks embrace brings teardrops to my face,
i’m sole, all alone, mounted on this throne,
of natures beauty,
oh beauty,
ain’t nobody else but she,

i’m drowning,
i’m drowning,
i’m drowning,
and i don’t want to swim.

now beauty took my hand, left the normal lands,
as shape turns into shape, transcended, escaped,
flame grows, lightning’s struck these shores,
and i’m going out to swim,
out to swim,
oh i’m wading in,

fade out humming, fade in sound,
counting falling seconds in the hour,
breath out, breath in, colours merging in,
and the sea is turning blue,
oh so blue,
everything’s turning blue,


i’m drowning,
i’m drowning,
i’m drowning,
and i don’t want to swim.


Untitled #2

i’m sinking in my thoughts,
mind offers up no retort,
sink like a falling stone,
where’s my stable in this raging storm?

nows all’s dead air in my head,
bright light sinks like lead,
reflect and ricochet,
i follow but they lead nowhere,

all i want is harmony,
just some order and some clarity,
because i’m i constant state of flux,
with nothing to which i measure up,

i’m sinking in my thoughts,
mind offers up no retort,
sink like a falling storm,
where’s my stable in this raging storm?


Untitled #1

i’m just a grain of sand on a beach,
part of the coast of mundanity,
and pretty soon the tide will come in,
wash me out and bring in the new,

i’m sinking in the whirlpool of life,
and there is no way out,
all around me spinning oh so fast,
won’t someone please turn off the tap,

oh my life, just give me something to believe in,
oh my life, I’ll take anything, anything,
oh my life, just give me something,
oh my life, because anything’s better than this nothing,
and all there is is nothing,

all i’m doing in life is collecting things,
people, places, objects, memories,
so one day i can turn them in,
and see if in life’s game show i win,

i’m sinking in the whirlpool of life,
and there is no way out,
all around me spinning oh so fast,
won’t someone please turn off the tap,

turn it off,
turn it off,
turn it off,
turn it off,

oh my life, just give me something to believe in,
oh my life, I’ll take anything, anything,
oh my life, just give me something,
oh my life, because anything’s better than this nothing,
and all there is is nothing,

take my love, take it all,
got to get out of this lonely hole,


Late September

my brain is weak, body’s numb, all the things i had to say are gone,
god, the son, and the holy ghost, all things i believed the most, and you,
found you blind, taught you to see, and now you know not yourself or me,
you can count you thoughts in a paper cup, and you keep on fucking up your
lines,

and as the rain falls down, hits the ground,
i’ll be leaving town,
late september,
and as it all cracks up, i’ll be at the bus stop,
i’ll be leaving town,
late september

wrap yourself in circles, cacoon yourself in dreams, my girl,
because no matter how high you jump, you’ll always land back with who you
are,
statements none, nothing to say, no-one’s listening anyway,
and your lighter shade of pitch black, got so dark you cant look back,
so wipe the ashes from your feet, you closed your eyes, you went to sleep,

and as the rain falls down, hits the ground,
i’ll be leaving town,
late september,
and as it all cracks up, i’ll be at the bus stop,
i’ll be leaving town,
late september


For You

hold your gaze, now turn away,
and i heard the people say,
the sweetest things can’t last that long,
like passing stars that burn then…gone,
we cant halt the oceans flow,
tide comes in, tide must go,
but i hope you know i cared for you,
cared for you,
cared for you,
cared for you,

for you,
for you,
for you
i do,

thought of you again last night,
looking to hold you tight,
but i’m just drifting smoke,
floating on the words you spoke,
and then disperse and disappear,
but you know that i’m still here,
and don’t you know i believe in you,
believe in you,
believe in you,
believe in you,

for you,
for you,
for you,
i do,


Tomorrow Day

woke up, spilt my head, on a pencil full of broken lead,
as it’s hard times, it’s hard to choose, between it all and the things we loose,
step on, what to do, with photographs and words from you,
i’ll hopscotch, wise men say, they’re holding on for tomorrow day,
for tomorrow day,
and then I’ll stay,

find it hard, its hard to ask, when painted on fractured glass,
half of is not a whole, a dark vacuum that retracts to fall,
clouds drift, repeat a name, singing that same sweet refrain,
i’ll hopscotch, wise men say, they’re holding on for tomorrow day,
for tomorrow day,
and then i’ll stay,

and looking back through time,
looking back because we cant walk towards mirrors,
it seems the things we find,
only sink like stolen treasure,

and if you don’t mind,
i’d like to keep you in a special place,
that’s separate from time,
my queen of north america,


Half Beat Away

the careless hour,
the wasted times,
these were the days i meant to say,
i’m just half beat away,

and baby girl,
doved out the window,
but there’s a place in my heart where we will never part,
i’m just half beat away,

and all i want,
all I really want,
is to hold you in my arms and tell you your safe from harm,
i’m just half beat away,

hold on, hold on,
the slightest glance, the merest touch,
they all seem to mean so much,
let go, let go,
think this ship is coming in,
and to the sunset we must swim,

a thing,
of beauty,
is joy,
forever,


The City Lights

i got, got to blue,
thinking about you,
i got, got to blue,
just thinking about you,

i’ll take you to the city pier,
take away your worries, fears,
take me to the city lights,
take me there and hold me tight,
