this song will be on an album i’m making

coloured lights

so they line us up
for a photograph 
and i don’t know
how to stand
wether you’re the kitchen 
or a parting glass
i hold you
in my hand

the sun and
the moon will
will ride themselves around the shore
but black and
blue roses
will follow me down to your door

weather wrapped up in silk
nó sáithithe i fola muca 
absolve your love of guilt
agus bí ciúin in barróg faoí huisce

the sun and
the moon will
will ride themselves around the shore
but black and
blue roses
will follow me down to your door

the sun and
the moon will
will ride themselves around the shore
but black and
blue roses
will follow me down to your door

blue roses

just north of santry 
held hands heave across the terminal
cross from crying mothers
and bygone lovers
19 hours later 
you embrace the man made miracle 
the embrace of earth
and the face of her

just outside the city centre 
i try not to be so cynical 
but i loved you then
and i love you now
and one day i might drink myself
enough to see the hospital 
and convince myself
you’ll come home somehow

and 30 odd year later they are living
in a farm house
and his love for her
lives beyond my words
and meanwhile i will mean to find
her forwarding address 
i might write to her
on my next june 3rd

so unambiguous and free
unchained my hearts simplicity
don’t act so tough don’t speak unclear
she’s not so wet behind the ears
just reach your hand into the snow
pull out a flower and let it go
the weight of worlds weigh on your feet
when you have no one to meet

the rolling heart
of eileen reed
will be in part
lost at sea
part will bloom
and there will be
lost to you
and lost to me

when comes the colour i’m her face
the tallest kingdoms are erased
then come the flowers in their place
who climb to form a sheltered space
and none could re-articulate 
the worth of honesty it’s weight
the way of beauty it creates
the sense of safety that it takes

the rolling heart
of eileen reed
will be in part
lost at sea
part will bloom
and there will be
lost to you
and lost to me

the rolling heart of Eileen Reed

What’re you doing to me
Let’s stop so I can start to breathe
No, come back is what I mean
You know Ive stood and stayed for you 
When you had to go and recoil 
So you could stop and breathe for a while by yourself
When no ones eyes were on you still their minds were
We were Hoping thinking and wishing that you’d see yourself the way we once did
And we still do
Ye we still do
You know that we still do 
We were Hoping thinking and wishing that you’d see yourself the way we once did
And we still do
