tonight is good
tonight is okay
the rain is shallow
but tonight i will let it in
it does not need to feel hollow

those that gave you imagination
and something to believe in
will be your contamination

you are a million pounds
i am a few pence
you are all the beautiful sounds
i am just the interference

back to the town
its victorian limb
stretches out,
and paddles in the estuary

i am the sum of my experience
but it does not add up
your face is a boat race
but i do not like your boat race

making friends and believing
age came quick
it is not long before you wear a mature suit
because the child one no longer fits

enlighten me
step into my room
and turn the lights on
i will give you the map of my life
and you can be in charge of directions

naked and bare
i am under your stare
a sea of twisty willows
blows through my mind
and rests upon softly made pillows
