I smoke myself into a haze in the afternoon
enveloped heart and the air is cool
put on your dress, white goddess
and settle in as the weather folds
in the slow haze of the afternoon
swaying hips made like a gun
blackest sails
the most beautiful star in the world
in the air
on my tongue
before my eyes
beyond the stars
beneath the sun

so take me in your arms again
lead me in my dreams again
so what is it worth, i’ll sell my soul
what is it worth, only you know

you were conceived in my heart, came
like a dream
to save me from my mortality
put on your dress white goddess
and settle in as the weather folds
our lives will be entwined even when i die
you’ll see me through ’till the end of time
no earthly bride
the most beautiful star in the world
in the air
on my tongue
before my eyes
beyond the stars
beneath the sun

so take me in your arms again
lead me in my dreams again
so what is it worth, i’ll sell my soul
what is it worth, only you know

take me in your arms again
lead me in my dreams again
so what is it worth, i’ll sell my soul
what is it worth, i’ll sell my soul
what is it worth, i’ll sell my soul
what is it worth.

I sent off this morning
Down the road along the river
Which I take but once a year
My walk will take me by the shore
Then inland for a mile or more
From the cold sea spray

A small wood stands upon the hill
An old house near it lies in ruins
Forgotten long ago
And here in a clearing, overgrown with moss and ivy
Is your lovely grave

A dusk I will make my way
Along the lanes and through the fields
To where my cottage is
But before I step inside for bed
I’ll look up at the stars as we had
All those years ago

So here’s for Uncle Pat

We were walking, walking in two worlds
In the gardens of sunlight home
Bad children on the phone
Withheld me to withhold you
Said I’d kiss you if you want
You’ve got things back to front
I got a letter, I sent it back
I didn’t like It, what you had

Jack names the planets after you

When I turned you had gone away
So I didn’t skip upon that day
Morose feeling, small mind
Don’t touch it’s face you might like its kind
Said I’d kiss you if you want
You’ve got things back to front
Don’t mind your spelling, it ain’t so bad
Things like that they never made me quite so mad as you

Jack names the planets after you

I wish you’d come back everythings ready for you
You are welcome if you plan to
You can come walking and you know where
You’ve got understand that you got to care
Said I’d kiss you if you want
You’ve got things back to front
My mother’s dying I’ve got to go home
But there’s more you wont be solely on your own

Jack names the planets after you
