NIGHT WHISPERS (II)
He tells me what he ears
In the night whispers
Through pipework
And brickwork
Bars and hard glass
Writes down the message
Oddy's on the roof
Nurses having a party
It's in
All its cost are little pictures
Of the Queen
Oh and love he says
Love Love Love's
Faint echo on the landings
Through the sea
Thin late airway
Love running down
Singing on a bent guitar
Lost in the saddle again
John
Lost in time both of us
Talking about love and hate
Born again
Where so many with their hands killed love
And then the dark came down forever
So now
Behind the yellow wall and the yellow fence
Where the wind in a scatter of old leaves
Beats the wire to security
Dogs howl
Moonward and champion dopesniffer Duke
Sleeps on
But John when he sleeps
He never dreams
Time is what it is
We are mad again
Lost in some mean southern
Border town
All barber shops and bars
And far too many shoes
I've been out again
Beating my heart on the wind
And maybe this time John
We never get home
And the journey ends here
And time's all there is
Idea is don't die
On this side
On this side
On this side
Of the nightmare
