Flowers And Shipwrecks

Stereo shipwreck,
Wind on the iceberg,
Carrying no-one,
Crying for someone,
Bleeding for bad turns
made in a lifetime.
Past painted purple,
Washed out to sea.

Monochrome pictures
nailed onto floorboards,
Trampled and tripped on,
Carrying no-one,
Twisting and turning,
Wept in and walked on,
Lost to a lifetime...
lost out to sea.

Stereo shipwreck,
Lover elopes and,
you cry for her but...
she still forgets you.
Hating and hurting,
Loving, regretting,
Flowers and shipwrecks...
Man overboard.

Closing Credits

A name such as yours should never be lost to the top of a screen,
relentlessly moving,
not long to be seen.
As the clapping slows,
and the lights go up,
and the seats spring back,
and the curtains close,
A name such as yours should never be lost to the top of a screen.
But it was that night,
for the final time -
not that we knew.
A victim of order
appearing to march to the grave.
No copies kept,
No matinees now.
No precious glances admiring expectant shoulders
on secret back seats
as the world outside stands still.
A name such as yours should never be lost to the top of a screen.
But your closing credits came in the end.
