pistol shots and lights at dawn
and one fine day you'll find her gone all the ghosts they come for me make her cry a little and cover them up broken clocks and bathroom tides but one fine day old mountains rise cupboard doors and garden gates and deep inside some glacier waits and what in the world did i do then its only late for a while its only scent your skin what in the world do i do to resist its only seventy inches and where do i go i know nothing is changing but its gone its really gone i know its not really life till its gone wrong there must be a reason all the lives that i forgot and one fine day you'll find her gone all the nights they run from me make her sigh a little and gather them in and what in the world do i do then its only late for a while its only breath on your skin and what in the world do i do to be strong its only seventy inches and where do i go i know nothing is changing but its gone its really gone i know its not really life till its all gone and there must be a reason there must be a reason |

met a man
a motorway man met a man he really makes me wonder slow faced worn and weary one race left and then fall over and i see him every single day and i see him everywhere driving past me sunlight on the bonnet so bright everyone is cracking slow face on the shoulder still straight but everything is lacking floating in and fading out it seems anyway he waves at me through the sunbeams met a man a motorway man met a man he really drags me under sixteen miles an hour sixteen miles an hour baby do you laugh at me i think you do and you know that all of us are right behind you and now i want to go home but it's too late how much further to go before the home straight wave me by and gently sigh a smile just starts to break you've got a funny face |
