City Salad
19 degrees,
the 1st of May
And I'm sitting inside
In my winter coat
I've been people-watching
from the window all day
not pressing send
on that email I wrote
And oh, I would go out for salad, if I knew where to go
Oh, I'd go compose in the park if I knew I wouldn't feel cold
Take me to the cathedral again
with its height and its stone and its magic
Take me to the cathedral again
Though it's been a while, now I'm back
On the same street
For the first time in months
slip into my heels
glide through the streets and the steps made of stone
In a shop facade
An unexpected reflection
so slim, I feel like Audrey Hepburn in Rome
And oh, I would go out tonight if I knew where to go
It's summertime and I'd go out, all right, even though I'm always alone
Take me to the cathedral again
with its height and its stone and its magic
Take me to the cathedral again
Though it's been a while, now I'm back
Take me to the cathedral again
19 degrees, the 1st of May
Glide through the streets up the steps made of stone
And a walk in the rain on a dry sunny day
with ice cream like Audrey Hepburn in Rome
And oh, I might have called you tonight
If I knew you'd pick up the phone
A restaurant corner, somewhere, candlelight
Dining on salad on my own
------------
One for Sorrow (Starling Darling)
One for sorrow, two for joy
So they say or so I've heard
Walking with my music low and
One for sorrow, I was told, I think, by a little bird
And she really ought to know, but
Where are you going
So far from home?
Where are you going
How far does it go?
Hey, it's okay
Beside the cathedral, behind the bar
Right over the fence
There's a mossy wall
Where your family dwells
Hey, I'll show you the way
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven secrets never told
Except in songs behind the leaves and
You might even understand
if at last you come to know
Those who dwell among the trees and
Where are you going
So far from home?
Where are you going
How far will it go?
Hey, it's okay
Beside the cathedral, behind the bar
Right over the fence
There's a mossy wall
Where your family dwells
Five for silver, six for gold
Mmmm
When she heard the evening bells,
She knew she was home
Hey, it's okay
---------------
Eyes Say Sorry
These days, I hide
behind my fringe that I cut myself
And my padded bra
These days I live
in a place
Where no one knows my name
And I know no one
But they ask me for directions
And that's okay
Eyes say sorry, eyes say sorry
But it's tough, and it hurts
And the twist and the turns
And I think that the one thing I've learned
In this world
Is that it always gets worse
And I'm lying here
I'm holding dear
The fragments of the past
And a future of fear
And it's high time now
to draw the line
and leave so much behind
Eyes say sorry, eyes say sorry
These days,
The city is kind to me
The streets are leafy
and I'm in the shade
These days,
I live in a place
Where people passing through
As they make their way
Ask me for directions
And that's okay
But it's tough, and it hurts
And the twist and the turns
And I think that the one thing I've learned
In this world
Is that it always gets worse
And I'm lying here
I'm holding dear
The fragments of the past
And a future of fear
And it's high time now
to draw the line
and leave so much behind
Eyes say sorry, eyes say sorry
--------------
Nowhere to go
Wide open spaces and parasols, unfinished sentences
The corner of the street in sound
Initial hope and unexpected questions, dampened expectations
7 o'clock evening strolls through town
Nowhere to go
Nowhere is home
Spiral staircase well and a lonely view of cobblestones and city streets
Ancient paths and crumbled walls, and storks watching way above the city sweet
From their tangled twig nests up high
Over terracotta underneath the sky
Nowhere to go
Nowhere is home
Burdened walkers passing though
And shells and things and arrows too
trimmed branches waiting for the sun
Days are flying, thoughts are spying
Fruit and veg aisle, thanks for trying
One more day postponing all that's fun
Nowhere to go
Nowhere is home
Spiral staircase well and a lonely view of cobblestones and city streets
Ancient paths and crumbled walls, and storks watching way above the city sweet
From their tangled twig nests up high
Over terracotta underneath the sky
---------------
Ready for the Moon
On the 16th of May, they say
the moon will slip
into its favourite space
On the 16th of May today,
when light aligns
for night-time shadow play
And the flowers fill cathedral plazas
And I wonder if the people who pass ask
Are you ready to face the moon?
Are you ready to face the moon?
On the 16th of May today
A long-awaited lunar performance underway
In the right moment to portray
Light aligned for night-time shadow play
And the flowers fill cathedral plazas
There's a sparkle in the air that dances
Full of light electric, chance of chances
And I wonder if the people who pass ask
Are you ready to face the moon?
Are you ready to face the moon?
Be ready, ready for the moon
Are you ready to face the moon?

Strawberry Moon
Strawberry moon,
What will you bring this time round
And if it's true
That all the good things will be found
In time, strawberries soon
Last light little drops of spring and
Strawberry moon
The brightest blooms and ripest fruit
Sharper than the soaring tips
of swiftest wings
And warmer than the air still
Sweeter than the apple trees
And cherried breezes
Draped along the hill
I've been thinking la la la la la la la
And everything is la la la la la la la la
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
The light is long
The night a song
in June
The light is long
And lingers on
a tune
Strawberry moon,
What will you bring this time round
And if it's true
That all the good things will be found
I've been thinking la la la la la la la
And everything is la la la la la la la la
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
The light is long
The night a song
in June
The light is long
And lingers on
a tune
Strawberry moon
I wait upon the view
Strawberry moon
All in time, the sweetest fruits
:)

Where are you going? To the cathedral or to be with Audrey Hepburn in Rome? Or maybe where no one knows your name? Summer sorts it all out...

Rather moody indeed I suppose! :)
