Wherever you are now
Whatever your circumstance
Reading my words
You only have from me my words
This sound I hear
This inclination dear
Into ether disappears
Into only my words
I could try to pace
Run then such a race
This space embrace
But still you only have my words
I could remind you of a picture
Dedicate colours richer
Embroider with stitch and pitcher
Only for you to only have my words
Recreate a journey
Pray up to eternity
Praise gods gift maternity
But still you only have my words
Seems your help is needed
Your adoption and adaptation pleaded
Between the lines re-seeded
Making more than only my words
Turn this into meditation
Find your cross, fix your station
Deliver to your inner nation
Staying, saying only with my words
Slow down now
Introduce your own sounds around
Hear that distant bell
Foretell your shell around my words
Slow down again
Listen to the raindrops
Splash your playful puddles
Wash your water over my words
Slow down to a whisper
Kiss the touch that missed her
Remember your mother, your sister
Bring your family into my words
Now you are calm and serene
Feeling goodness in between
Your soul and body clean
Sheen your sparkle on my words
Tomorrow we’ll do the jazz
The rock and the razzamatazz
Nights out with the lads
Blast my words loud into the night
We’ll pour the wine and whisky
Move up close, get frisky
Forget who takes the biscuit
Recall my illicit words
In front of the magistrate with remorse
Your honour, sorry; of course, of course
We were pretending, like the bourse
Reciting only my words
In prison cell and courtyard
Dwelling on what is, and what might have been
You thought it was the truth you’d seen
But it was only only my words
Back at the beginning
A chorus chord for singing
In your ears you can hear them ringing
These are only my words
