Unseen and never done
You take your leave of me
You told me once that my picture was oh too clear to you
Tell me, does he bathe you in soft focus?
My one nagging doubt is
Where you gonna go if the ink runs out of this one?
Back home to me
Idly waiting, waiting idly?
I keep your seat warm
(for the moment)
I'll do you a deal
Don't come back here
Until he too has at least tried to earn your tears

    No, Edward Hopper - the starkness of real light

    You and me you know we weren't quite right
    Staying up all night and spoiling for a fight
    You took all of what you saw with your eyes
    I got left with mercy's darkening skies

    Everyone else you know they just let us be
    Stood well back to see whatever will be will be
    I got hit by your full broadside
    Nothing left of me to darken your eyes

    Ten years later and you still want to play
    Nothing I can do, and nothing left to say
    Light your fireworks
    While I'm standing on the fuse
    Take my best parting shot -
    You've nothing left to lose

    All Night Thing

    She motioned to me
    That she wanted to leave
    And go somewhere warm
    Where we'd be alone
    I do not know, what's going on
    But I'm guessing it's an all night thing

    If it's an all night thing
    Nobody is gonna make it end
    And if it doesn't begin
    Don't worry that I'll that offense
    And if it's an all night thing
    And we fall like a tear falling
    To the ground
    I'll never come around
    You'll never hear a word from me
    If it's an all night thing

    I walked along, feeling at ease
    And falling like rain
    Into her schemes
    She won't let on what that will be
    But I'm guessing
    It's an all night thing

    If it's an all night thing
    Nobody is gonna make it end
    And if it doesn't begin
    Don't worry that I'll take offense
    If it's an all night thing
    And we fall like a tear falling
    To the ground
    I'll never come around
    You'll never hear a word from me
    If it's an all night thing

    I let you go with joy
    May your keepers protect you
    And know
    That I'll be your friend
    Again
    With no regret
