As soon as I'm left alone
The devil wanders into my soul
And I pretend to myself
And I pretend to myself
I go out to the old milestone
Insanely expecting you to come there knowing
That I wait for you there
That I wait for you there
Come
Come
Come here at once
Come
Come
On a night with no moon
Because
All of my being is now in pining
All of my being is now in pining
What formly cheered me now seems insignificant
Insignificant
Dear Darkness
Dear darkness
Dear darkness
Won't you cover, cover me again
Dear darkness
Dear
I've been your friend for many years
Won't you do this for me?
Dearest darkness
And cover me from the sun under the
Words typing
The words are tighening around my throat and, and
Around the throat of the one I love
The timing, the typing, the tightening
Around the throat of the one I love
The timing, the typing, the tightening
Dear Darkness
Dear Darkness
Now it's your time to look after us
Cos we've kept your clothes
We kept your business
when everyone else was having good luck
So now it's your time
Time to pay
To pay me and the one I love
With the wordly goods you've stashed away
With all the things you took from us
Grow Grow Grow
I sowed a seed
Underneath the oak tree
I trod it in
With my boots, I trampled it down
Grow grow grow
I sowed a rose
Underneath the oak grove
With my boots on the ground
Into the earth I trampled it down
Grow grow grow
Teach me how to grow
Teach me how to grow
Teach me mummy
How to grow
How to catch someone's fancy
Underneath the twisted oak grove
When Under Ether
The ceiling is moving
Moving in time
Like a conveyor belt
Above my eyes
When under ether
The mind comes alive
But conscious of nothing
But the will to survive
I lay on the bed
Waist down, undressed
Look up at the ceiling
Feeling happiness
Human kindness
The woman beside me
Is holding my hand
I point at the ceiling
She smiles so kind
Somethings inside me
Unborn and unblessed
Disappears in the ether
This world to the next
Disappears in the ether
One world to the next
Human kindness
White Chalk
White chalk hills are all I've known
White chalk hills will rot my bones
White chalk sticking to my shoes
White chalk playing as a child with you
White chalk south against time
White chalk cutting down the sea at Lyme
I walk the valley by the cerne
On a path cut fifteen hundred years ago
And I know
These chalk hills will rot my bones
Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea
Where I walked our unborn child in me
White chalk gorse scattered land
Scratch my palms, there's blood on my hands
Broken Harp
Please don't reproach me for
For how empty my life has become
I don't know what really happened
I watched your disappointment at being misunderstood
I forgive you
Oh something metal tearing my stomach out
If you think ill of me
Can you
Can you forgive me?
Forgive me
Can you
Can you forgive me?
Too
I tried to learn your language but fell asleep half undressed
Unrecognisable to myself
Silence
All those places where I recall
The memories that gripped me
And pinned me down
I go to these places
Intending to think
And think of nothing but anticipate
Somehow expect you'll find me there
That by some miracle, you'd be aware
I'd risen this morning determined to break
Spare my longing, not to think
I freed myself from my family
I freed myself from work
I freed myself, I freed myself and remained alone
And in my thinking
I'd steal you away
Though you never wanted me
Anyway
Silence
To Talk To You
Oh Grandmother
How I miss you
Under the earth
Wish I was with you
To talk to you
To talk to you
I found somebody
Tried to give myself to
Many times
I wanted to talk to you
If i lay on the earth
Could you hear me there?
Oh Grandmother
I'm so lonely
All my life
If i lay on the earth
Could you hear?
If I lay
Mary
The Piano
Hit her with a hammer
Teeth smashed in
Red tongues twitching
Look inside a skeleton
My fingers sting
Where I feel your fingers have been
Ghostly fingers
Moving my limbs
Oh god I miss you
Oh god I miss you
Oh god I miss you
Daddy's in the corner
Rattling his keys
Mummy's in the doorway
Trying to leave
