Pillar Talk

You called out to me last night
You were quiet
You were grieving
You called out to me last night
You were sobbing
You scraped your breathing

I called out to you last night
Feel for love
Keep on receiving
I called out to you last night
I am listening
Keep on believing

You called out to me last night
You so gentle
Your tears slow leaving
You called out to me last night
Hold me close
Your faith I'm needing

I called out to you last night
I am here
On your love I'm leaning
I called out to you last night
We are together
We will keep on keeping

Inspired by Images

Girls and boats and bright blue flowers
Past and present and subliminal powers
Sunrise and sunset and those lost hours
Night and day and the hope that towers

You know where I have been
You know where I am
You know where I go
You know I know of the past 
You know because I let it show

Moments and minutes and days of years
Waiting and waiting and waiting for tears
Memories and reminders and thoughts of fears
Skating and dating and mating to once loud cheers

I don't know where you have been
I don't know where you are
I don't know where you go
I don't know if you know of the past
I don't know because you don't let it show

Package Tour

I was staying in a B&B on holiday. I had bought some tools at the hardware store on the quay, I told them I would collect them later. I had befriended the elderly son of my landlady; on the final day he asked me if I wanted to go for a walk on the moors, above the reservoir. He shouted at me to come and look at a beautiful pool of water; someone had created an underwater town, with gardens, shops and houses, I thought it was amazing; someone else was present, a woman, but I don't know who it was, I felt her presence more than I saw her. My friend asked me the time of my flight, I looked at my watch, I was late, it was already twelve-thirty. I told my friend we had to go, I would have to leave the tools behind.

Awakening

I was walking, uphill; it was a big wide street in an empty town. A police car's blue lights were flashing up ahead. Bombs were exploding, firecrackers were whizzing and sparking across the floor. The policemen were yelling at me to get out of the way. I turned back. I went into a hostel; grey haired men, in old grey suits, all on their own, each living in their own one single room. I had seen one of the men before; I had met him in a very nice, one might even say a luxury flat, with his well-dressed close friend.

It Feels So Good To Be Coming Home

It feels so good to be coming home
Cold clear morning
Big blue sky
Miles of open road
Charlie Haden & 
Pat Metheny on the stereo
And it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
Frost is fading
Sheep are grazing
Past those grass filled fields
I hold my smile
As if to seal the afterglow
So it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
Buds on trees
Begin to show
It is of life
Of our life to bestow
Cooling smoke goes with the flow
And it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
Babe don't go
O babe don't go
Come on home
To those we know
Come on home so we all know
So it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
The traffic slows
I'm losing ground
I have the music, there is fair sound
The traffic slows, I'm nearing town
There are the ribbons, I have the gown
And it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
I cross the water
That canal to the sea
Yes my girl, we will break free
We have found love
In the deep as fathoms below
So it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
We will climb these hills
However steep
We'll lay together
Before we sleep
It is our turn to turn the neap
And it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
I drive too fast
I ought to make this time last
All those ghosts
They are the past
Let's live again, let's live half daft
So it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
To the land
Of farm and plough
To the land
Of neat know-how 
Yes my love I'm on the brow
And it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
Yes my love I've been to Rome
Where chariots raced
As plays were performed
And in the coliseum 
I touched the ancient stone
So it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
And it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home
So it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good to be coming home
And it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home
So it feels so good to be coming home
It sure feels so good to be coming home

It feels so good 
So good to be coming home
It feels so good 
So good to be coming home
It feels so good 
So good to be coming home
It feels so good 
So good to be coming home
