Act One: Scene Two –– The Clouds

lyrics

I heard a scream from a place I called nowhere
But when I looked the source was right by my side.
I have a pomander for my comfort,
So with my weaker hand I tried I tried
To heave him up and give him some water
But when I saw he was starving I almost died.

I left a flower by the side of the road.
A little flower by the side of the road
I left a flower by the side of the road
They ate the flower by the side of the road.

And now I'm back from my journey darling
I'm so glad to embrace you just once more ––
So draw the curtains so I can't see the sea dear ––
I feel a salty draught so shut the goddamn door ––
The ghosts are shaking at the brickwork
All emptyeyed awailing and forlorn ––

Let them sleep by the side of the road
Let them weep by the side of the road
Just once more by the side of the road
Left alone by the side of the road

[sigh more]
***
[prepare table]

When I heard the news I opened the wine
(I haven't had news like that for some time).
In times like these you can't beat some wine,
Curling up on the sofa, watching Grand Designs.
Do you remember how young we once felt?
A courtship of shagging, cards hastily dealt.
So –– let's feel nostagic about halfmemories
And spring thawing freeze
And how recklessly young hearts can melt.

So –– dear, put your feet up and have some more wine.
When your day's been long you need some more wine.
If your knee's acting up then have some more wine.
If you suffer from boredom then have some more wine.
Does you dog shit on carpets? Then have some more wine.
Have you turned up the heating? Then have some more wine.
Do you wish you were thinner? Then have some more wine.
Is there no time for reading? Then have some more wine.
Do you not like the taxman? Then have some more wine.
Has the spark gone in bed? Well, just some more wine.
Does the news make you sad? Why not have some more wine?
Would your younger self hate you? Then have some more wine.
Do you ignore the homeless? Just have some more wine.
Do you feel like a hypocrite? Have some more wine.
When was the last time you felt good?
Made castles from sand just cos you could?
Felt wind in your hair shining brighter than light
Holding onto those pieces that slipped from your grip
Now you're Old?

[End of Act One. Curtains fall on darkness. The moon dies slowly.]
