sending letters back home
to my childhood best friend,
he's forgotten I exist
and so have I
the mountains say I'm gonna die
alone
who am I to deny them,
when they'll lend me a home?
to all the monarchs that I've met
when your crown may fall,
will you make me your successor?
or am I nothing at all
then to the lovers that I've known,
would you still lie?
if I'd just done things different

burn me, back home
to incinerate, to know
chop my legs
for firewood, to throw
the winter's love,
steeping milk in the coffee pot
so chuck me in the pit,
whack the log on

sheep sleep in the field,
they're counting me
I should confess - it's january
before I went with you,
I'd only seen brown eyed girls,
you were a fresh air of blue
and now I can't stand the sky
if I sailed away today, you'd never know
sheep sleep in the grass
they're grazing near,
when the sunrise wakes them, I'll dream you here
and I've held on even now,
by the bench, by the swing
because you told me you loved me, but you can't fight the wind
maybe I'll see you
in the dark, in the car
maybe I'll see you once more

first time we met on the carriage we'd been travelling for some days and we were lying to the ticket man about railcards. got up that afternoon in the rain and the pitter-patter windows reflect the half-empty train as I open up my book about love and loss. I watched outside there were waterfalls and mountain racks bleeding blue onlooking the Bernese alps and I found myself thinking will the garden grow? in the corner of my eye you were there with your sheepskin shirt and weird little beads in your hair, and we exchanged a glance from across the tracks. both fell asleep to the rain and we had the same dream I asked you what you thought about your family, you told me through cliffs and distant radio towers and you said that there was always food and flowers. dreamt and awoke to the humming of the rails, checked again and you were practically somebody else. underneath swaying trees and the cabin light, you sat and bled your ink into empty books which I'd read in a few years time, when you became a well-renowned writer. I never spoke to you again, as the train came crashing round the bend, as the roof caved in on our heads I said my goodbyes and I turned to the left. and that was it. another October in the new warm morning mist, thinking of sent postcards sent to mourning pricks, slumped down in the post office of regrets I sit and think about that railway day, in a daze where the train started falling apart and we both died before we could even start.

don't lose this daydream
make space for something new
don't be surprised, when she leaves
it's happened before, it'll happen again
