“And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew
Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well
His duty was to use it – left his pearl in the shell.”
-from “Pearl in the Shell”

from “Don’t Make Me Come to Vegas”
my old flame was a jester
and a joker
and as dealer of men,
they called him the prince
Prince of Black Jacks
and of women
and of anything
that’s slipped into his hands
“and the Ranches and the mustangs”
and the way you said
“You can have all this,
except for me–you see
Lady Luck is my mistress
and you’ll have to play
second to her wish”

From “Train of Thought”
He likes to have the morning paper’s
Crossword solved.
Words go up, words come down,
Forwards, backwards, twisted round.
He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase,
Disappears into an office,
It’s another working day.
And his thoughts are full of strangers,
Corridors of naked lights.
And his mind once full of reason,
Now there’s more than meets the eye.
Oh, a stranger’s face he carries with him…

Excerpt from “Possession“:
Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied?
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I’ll take your breath away
And after I
Wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
Through this world I’ve stumbled
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word to find
The truth enslaved
Oh you speak to me in riddles and
You speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath
Your words keep me alive…

From “The Red Shoes”
With no words, with no song
You can dance the dream with your body on
And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart
And this line, is your path
Oh it’s gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it’s gonna be no illusion
Oh it’s gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it’s gonna be really happening to ya
