Oedipus

The greatest boon is not
or was to be
Until I had my reason
the bitter change of season
The day is gone, and the night
will never end
How could the darkest being
fulfill a deeper meaning?
And I’d have gave my life
so long ago
But all I have, my heart is old—
I cannot bear to let you go
Till when the silence
when the silence
brings me home
Father wants
a mother wants
another one again
They want to watch him grow
They want to grow all together
till when their heart is told
the word that from the earth would sever
And while the feeling’s so—
sometimes I feel like I’ll never
come in time to know
the light behind the night’s endeavour
When starts the gods are kindness
When ends they are but woe
You are conceived and then
you grieve forever
The greatest boon
is not to be, nor was to see
when all I would be—
like a rock in the black
of the wild north sea

I bite my little finger
pink bedroom where I sprawl
I’ve got your pretty picture
I’ve nailed it to my wall
The wall
where it watches all
Another night is dawning
take me away, take me away from here
And now my mother’s calling
Won’t you take me away
take me away with you tonight
while my million thoughts are burning
And I won’t sleep alright
You can call me, I’ll come running
and we’ll drive away
in your motorcade—
Look at your pretty picture
I wonder where you are
I’ve got my CD playing
my favourite Wonderwall
I’m hanging upside down off
my bed and lookin’ up
to where you’re lookin’ down on me
and I can’t get enough
of these walls
where your effigies are
Another year’s gone empty
Take me away, take me away from here
I’m waiting oh so gently
Won’t you take me away
take with away with you tonight
while my dreams are bright and yearning
And I won’t sleep alright
you can call me, I’ll come running
and we’ll drive away
in your motorcade—
And my heart is a-ready to go…
In your car I’m a-ready to go yeah
‘cause my heart is a-ready now—

My Pretty Girl

My pretty girl
You gave your fire tonight
My pretty girl
And now I’m lying beside
My pretty girl
Could this be always my life
My pretty girl
Only the stars will decide
My pretty girl
You are my lover, I’ll have another
never again
My pretty girl
Only each other, we’ll be together
forever when
Everything is nothing without—
I’d never want to be here without you
The night’d be a-thick in my heart
Lying all alone on a rock that hurls
through the dark
Ah-ah-ah the darkness—
In the middle of the night
when I’m dreaming of you
and I’m hoping that I’m right
that you’re dreaming it too
when you’re breathing soft
and the feeling rises that I’ll never forget
My pretty girl—
how you’re in my arms
and how I’m in your arms
and how we’re in my bed
Then you’re turning your head
and you look in my eyes
and now I’m speaking it—
And what could I say
it’s the only thing
I’m in love with you—

O My Lover

O my lover
my heart is gold
I give it now to you
O my lover
but my body’s cold
‘cause tonight I’m missing you
Nobody,
nobody else
could ever ring so true
as your body
when my body sings
a lover’s song to you
I hear the silence breathing
and I begin to wonder
how I could get to needing
this weight that I’ve been under
And while the night is dreaming
I feel that kindness of her
The rain on windows streaming
am I without my lover
And now the light is creeping
in through my window shutters
And all the stars are leaving
are being torn asunder
I hold my head, I ring my my hands
I pull myself together
But there’ll be no alleviating
Till I see my lover
O my lover
I’m blue for you now
Dreaming and sighing and crying
and pining away—
But the time will not pass
until I’ll be spinning you around in
my arms at last
And of anything I’d want
I’d want love to bloom
And of anything I’d be
I’d be in love with you—
O my lover
well my love is true
O my lover
your love is mine
and my love I gave to you
And nobody,
nobody else
could ever ring so true
as your body
when my body sings
a lover’s song to you

Mexico

I wanted my heart to break
down the door to your sweet home
Kicked in by an earthquake
like the federales of Mexico
(Every time I come home)
Well my heart breaks
(Every time I come home)
Yeah my heart breaks
(Every time I come home)
And my heart breaks
(Every time I come home)
Down your door
And then I kiss you deeply
giving you to know
what I know
And then I listen sweetly
listen to you go
on and on and on
And then underneath the
eiderdown we go
where we know
And there my lover sleeps
in the light of afterglow
where the heart broke in to go
And listen to the wind blow
through the door between
our souls—
(see what I’m meanin’
we’re making a feelin’
we’re fallin’ in love
till it falls out of season—)
