Don't Look Now

Don’t look now
The Shadow is on the sun
And it will blind your eyes
If you ever look upon
All those empty lights and passers by
Who cast shapes on the wall
With their pinholes in their boxes
Staring down the hall
At that empty light and rising tide
That leads you to her door
Oh but don’t look now
She don’t need you anymore
Oh don’t look now
At her letters of love and rage
Or at the ink black night that
Drips from the edge of the page
In a blackening sunset
Blackening words
From the end of her pen
Comes the end of the world
And at the end of the struggle
Comes a deafening roar
Oh don’t look now
She don’t need you anymore
True you were holy
And true you were kind
And now I grieve for the feeling
Of your lips pressed on mine
Now I stare at your reflection
Like the barrel of a gun
With every father’s daughter
With every mother’s son
And we all are in agreement
And we sing with one accord
Oh don’t look now
She don’t need you anymore

Without an Anchor

I know you’re tired
and you need your sleep
but the whiskey’s wearing off
and I’m worn off my feet
I know it’s time
but it’s hard to believe
there’s no place in your heart
for a stranger like me
And I know your name
‘cause I sounded i out
with a kiss on your lips
with a kiss on your brow
With salt in your tears
and tears in your eyes
I kissed your lips
in a lonesome goodbye
But I know a girl
who drinks and is baptised
in spirit and water
who could keep you from harm
in the heart of her harbour
who could build you a boat without an anchor
and god only knows why she goes
and I love her
But I never left
you alone in the summer
and I never kept
you cold in the winter
But winter is long
and low clouds will gather
and unravel in storm
and in unruly weather
But I know a girl
who drinks and is baptised
in spirit and water
who could keep you from harm
in the heart of her harbour
who could build you a boat without an anchor
and god only knows why she goes
and I love her
and god only knows why she goes
and I love her
and god only knows...
Call out to your lover
Call out
Call out, she will answer
Call out
Raise your voice above the
Falling rain and thunder and
Take your place again beside her
