Two - 2000

Words Waiting for Music

she said
don't leave me boy
don't leave me now
don't leave me now I know you're there
don't leave me lover anywhere

I want to ride
along beside
I want to add a little bit
I want to live - I'm loving it

she said
don't leave me boy
don't leave me now
don't leave me now I know you're there
don't leave me lover anywhere

I want to see
what we can be
I want to explore and play
I want to stimulate your day

she said
don't leave me boy
don't leave me now
don't leave me now I know you're there
don't leave me lover anywhere

in date order
tell a tale
a story of a soul impaled
on spikes of choice and freedom
freedom
freedom
freedom

in date order
weave a spell
a potion free to be inhaled
if nothing lost by trying
trying
trying
trying

in date order
leave a trail
a path through undergrowth concealed
to follow in wild places
places
places
places

expecting you to hang around
treading water
held and bound
no no
no no
of course not

expecting me to still be here
coasting corners
out of gear
no no
no no
of course not

expecting chance to give direction
the gods above
complete attention
no no
no no
of course not


time and time again
left dealing with the impact
of a match not made in heaven
incomplete imperfect contract
and embattled disconnection


expecting you to take the lead
to face the facts
confront the need
no no
no no
of course not

expecting time to be a friend
wind us down
provide the end
no no
no no
of course not

expecting commonsense to reign
one day I'll be
myself again
no no
no no
of course not

expecting you to understand
admire these thoughts
respect my plan
no no
no no
of course not


13th February 2000

from swirling mist
you stole the lead
emerged by stealth
to rescue me

from under wrap
calm and discrete
your strategy
need gently meet

you took the place
you knew the song
ensured my soul
to you'd belong

but now the tide
has turned again
your happiness
just brings me pain

now as I wish
I'd never known
your tenderness
leaves me alone
