Ravenspurn Renewed

Such a long time ago
A name, a place, a face - someone you should know?
But your mind's getting slow
And you know as well as me that it's starting to show
And you're losing your glow - the sparkle in your eye
And the people you know say you reap what you sow
You're surprised you're still here
But no-one's quite as mystified as I
And the edge ever near
The land that separates the sea from sky
It will all disappear
At times the bells beneath the waves will toll
When the storms gather near
All life you have left in you, holding on by a thread
Came from sand that has drifted down long shores
Exposing the dead
I imagine you home
An old timbered place, a space you call your own
Down by the shore
With a broken dog, as broken as you are
Now the tide's getting low
The naked sands reveal what lay below
And you know that they know
All life you have left in you, holding on by a thread
Came from sands that have drifted down long shores
A gift from the dead
All you have that is dear to you, detritus accrued
All of this will soon fall into the sea
When Ravenspurn's renewed

One More Beer

I wish we could have one more beer
To make up for four missing years
I wish you had told me your hopes and your fears
One and all
I wish we could have one more beer
For closure and bending of ear
If only to know why the trains disappeared from my wall
At least I’ll never have to go near that shithole of a town again
Where principles some people hold dear still don’t make any sense
And now it’s been more than a whole year without any recompense
And all because you spent your best years sitting on the fence
I wish we could have one more beer
You could tell me that same fucking joke
I’ll pretend it’s the first time I’ve heard it, again…
