Nightwatchmen |
| To the girl among nightwatchmen |
| My other, my joy |
| With your oil-drum fire |
| You were my gentle unfolding |
| The wool and the dye |
| The needle and eye |
| These songs you sing |
| As you waltz her up the stairs |
| And the boy smiles |
| At the wheels of the chair |
| We are loved for these |
| Things that pass us by |
| All we’re good for |
| As the sand flows into the hourglass |
| You hold every grain |
| That it might remain |
| Part of me wants to see you crumble |
| Like those toys on a plinth |
| Pool of alabaster limbs |
| Into my arms |
| So that I might have my place |
| Although the crutch may just |
| Serve to dull the only blade |
| That you brought to this fight |
| Let’s go another round |
| Let’s go another round |
| To the girl among nightwatchmen |
| The long fingers of morning |
| Will take you by the hand |
| Precious stones |
| They’re all spoken for |
| You’ve chosen the tunes |
| Everything is just so, just so |
| And now birdsong |
| Ice clinking in the sun |
| Dripfeed |
| Of gentle talk |
| And pleasantries |
| And I wait for a gap in the traffic |
| To tell her I’ll always hold you close |
| It’s all I’m good for |
