Stephan’s children

John Coffey


Come now children sing along
To the beating of the drum
Leave your houses, toys alone
Not afraid of skull and bone

Come now children sing along
When the night bird start to moan
When were passing the last stone
Of the place that we call home

You favored waiting

Come now children sing along
When the howler at the moon
Steals our smallest child from home
We admit that we were wrong

You favored waiting

06 fingers and knives

I caught sight of a lifeboat
No bigger than a walnut shell
Held on to the surface of the water

Can’t drink salty water
Cruel skies above my head
Two wrong sides two wrong places
The edge the only way

Like fingers
On the edge
Of a knife
It’s only
A matter of time before it pulls you down

Can’t drink salty water
Cruel skies above my head
Two wrong sides two wrong places
The edge the only way
A final leap ahead
On the end of the edge
A final leap ahead
