Little Friend - Just Jack

Our little friend is tucked away

Sleeping in some far flung galaxy

Breathing like a baby concertina

And foxes are fighting

Congregating in the garden

Trying to choose a leader

Two pairs of eyes watch satellites

Dance between the clouds

And there’s no chance they’re coming down

At least we know we’re

Un-alone

Lay your weight on my shoulder

And your hands on my backbone

Until it feels like we’re almost

Passed the point of no return

Sunset dashes across your cheeks

Where splashes of colour meet

And mix into a maelstrom

Just beyond the point of no return

Familiar vitriol is filtering

Through walls and windowpanes

Then drowned out by the train

Bringing home the last commuter

And everything is slow

And you look like a phantom in a glow

From your computer

Two pairs of eyes watch satellites

Blink between the clouds

And I don’t think they’re coming down

At least we know we’re

Un-alone

Lay your weight on my shoulder

And your hands on my backbone

Until it feels like we’re almost

Passed the point of no return

Sunset dashes across your cheeks

Where splashes of colour meet

And mix into a maelstrom

Just beyond the point of no return

You say you saw something

In the surface of the neighbour’s pool

I feel your fear so I fake my cool

I tell you that it’s just regrets reflected

And black is nothing more

Than silhouettes connected

Forget the retrospective

I promise in the future you will be protected

And I’ll be calling home to let you know

You’re un-alone

Lay your weight on my shoulder

And your hands on my backbone

Until it feels like we’re almost

Passed the point of no return

Sunset dashes across your cheeks

Where splashes of colour meet

And mix into a maelstrom

Just beyond the point of no return
