about

For the beautiful lost angels of the city mary rainyday and all you ragged tent dwellers of trevellas a hard leaving we had with the footsteps calling the buccaneers and spanish main men of youthful dreams yes for you my friend cut down before your time but not forgotten and thank you mr harper for the wild cousins nights the sad sorry spectacle of shame as government ghosts wrap us in razor wire on the lapping lake garda day where are you now elena and the blues still follow me down so straighten my new mind's eye on the barricades at the end of the night where it's alright and even if it's well too late it's water under the bridge but still the forests fall so come lover daughter friend and stranger let us walk our desire lines.
