There's a call and it's for you
in the other room
she saw your report
on the news
she insisted that they meet
she was curious to see
just to be amused
don't believe on prophecies
dusty air
receding sun
the house stood there
and garden fair
knocking the door
greeted with incense
and candles and wicks
dancing playfully
long robe
not young not quite old
and long black hair
and strong was her glare
drew her cards
read her palm
it can not be
with this man
there's a presence in the room
entered with you
a guardian
around you it looms
and when she left
sun had subside
relieved to leave
something strange about her eyes
cross
handing from her neck
she whispered as she left
don't believe in prophecies
she tried
to put it out of her mind
her love
she feared to confide
confide!
beating wings
broken glass
driving to fast
and awful crash

Claudia

sprawled out like a feline
in her baggy harems
there lies Claudia upon the green
and the sun bakes the air till it ripples like water
we must go, we must go
we must find her their
you must go alone, you must meet her there
in the garden, in the garden
clear the fog from our minds,
hop the fence,
scan the faces,
as cool breeze falls
and she's here
she hums a song from her home
and gargoyles wind their necks
to catch a glimpse of Claudia
as she walks on ahead
between the flowers and the exotic scents
the wrong name, the wrong name
surfaces to my tongue
as we lay, as we lay
where did that come from?
gone, gone in a plane in the sky
and home is but a place you pass through from time to time
to waste or to wait
laughter halted by a trickling stream
I felt so alive with the rising steam
to simply be with Claudia
as she struggles with her words
in the nighttime with the singers in the karaoke bars

Ghosts Lyrics
Wake up, what a mess you have made
Wear your dressing gown all day
All the voices and laughter echo in your head
For what is your life, to have always lived in shadow of your death
Heed the hours and declare a farce
Break bread, sip wine and fear not the cost
Smell of ash, smell of sweat and stains on the floor
Stand amazed recall the sun rise and fall
And rise again
While singing songs with your friends
And rise again
While singing songs with your friends
Cans and bottles, and broken glass
Hands bracing towels and rags
Serene heads, sleeping on shoulders and braided legs
Pen marks faces, no creekin as you climb the stairs
Watch the wall paper morph and change
To flowers to trains to plane white paint
And see the figures grow so tall
And hear the song distance call
And rise again
While singing songs with your friends
And rise again
While singing songs with your friends
Stroll through your bedroom wall
To see your body, void of it’s soul
Heed the hours and declare a farce
Break bread, sip wine and fear not the cost
Smell of ash, smell of sweat and stains on the floor
Stand amazed recall the sun rise and fall
And rise again
While singing songs with your friends
And rise again
While singing songs with your friends
