Give up the ghost and hold me close
Sing me the song that you love most
The words hang like diamonds
Colliding in time with your mouth
Find me alone, walk me home
Show me a world I've not yet known
The buildings are freezing,
they cry when they're sleeping
We're hurting their feelings somehow
Bricks turn to circuits instead
Watch like a film in your head
so that something gets said
turn like a turn to get burned
Sleep like a pillow and wait like a window
in winter with snow -covered ledge
The birds will return soon
to bend round your bedroom
while radios talk to the dead
And you dream like a bed,
Whisper and speak, touch my cheek,
cars crash whenever we kiss,
right on my hand, understand,
breathe in the way only you can,
you know that you are both the
love note caught in throat
and the hope that is real.
send out the usual static
I think you're better than
sell it right back to me now.
Wraith -like tradition in need of revision,
transmissions will listen like sound.
endlessly coming unwound.
Till you find yourself found
with the graves in the ground,
Tears rolling out of eyes
But it's only the sound of
4.9
