1.
Bermuda Triangle

Mevagissey twinkles illusive ‘cross the drowsy bay
The air is full of Brigadoon
And you were always only halfway here
But now you’ve gone, disappeared complete.
...

2.
Gravity

The map of years woven across your face
Tells of the journeys you took without me
But all paths pull me back to your eyes,
Intense and blue as ever
...

3.
Fruit Trees

I brought all my fruit trees in
And stepped away from you my dear
...

4.
Lies

Don’t tell me your secrets
When I prefer the lies
Don’t massacre me with honesty
While I can keep my eyes shut tight from all the truth
...

5.
Misreadings

She doesn’t mean it
Her voice is hollow and tired
But he misreads the sadness in her eyes
He thinks the hope has died
...

6.
Start, Stop, Start.

Brush of a touch,
Hint of a hand
Surreptitious
Breath stops
...

7.
The Grainy Truth

The ceaseless pulse of time
Scrubbing the feet of the bay
...

8.
Fast Lane

Rush, push, punch to make it to the top
You know their name, their rank, perused their file
But never read their face
You mail with e, not post, impose your strength
...

9.
Sign Of The Times

High fibre semi skimmed
Low fat herbal pee
Multi grain multi packs
Multi saver interest free
...

10.
Bulldozer

Tracks make their mark across the heath
Fractured trees bleeding in the wind
Life ran away to find another place
No heartbeat here
...
