• Deep Purple Cloak

I
She came round here this morning
To gather up her clothes
To get her cat and her box of things
And her many coloured shoes

By this time it was well over
We both were on our own
So I waited in a local Irish bar
While she cleaned out our home

And when I went back round there
To the remains of the day
The sleepy ghost of her perfume
Fell heavy in my way

Supermarket trolley left behind by the time (?)
Sinking in the blue-grey mood where the little fish hide

*And a lonliness fall on me
Like a musty old cloak
That you find backstage in a little room
Where the dreams are all broken

Sometimes you write the great songs
Through sheer force of will
Sometimes they flood into your heart
Like a night rain beating on a window sill (Like a night rain beating on a window sill)

II:
At first it all went swimmingly
I even ordered a brand new sky
But one day right in all my songs (?)
I lost empire in your eyes

I foolishly said what I thought
You turned your head to stare
I used to see me in your eyes
But now I was not there

By now a stone cold fury
Was scathing (?) from your heart
You hated me for noticing
A spring of ancient hurt

And that old childhood suspicion
Things you don't understand
Low voices behind closed doors
And trembling hands

*And a lonliness fall on me
Like a deep purple cloak
That you find backstage in a little room
Where the dreams are all broken

Sometimes you write the great songs
Through sheer force of will
Sometimes they flood into your heart
Like a night rain beating on a window sill (Like a night rain beating on a window sill)

III:
And then I did a stupid thing
I followed her to a bar
Where she met her new boat
And they fell arm in arm

I saw her lips upon his face
As they were intertwined
I heard her peel of laughter
The one that once was mine

*as above.

And even if the voices sign hallelujah
And the men march in parades
And the women weep like an olive (?)
And the children wake up and pray
And that old childhood suspicion
That made me a stranger in this world
And if it were to fall away like a deep purple cloak
I can never fall in love again
I can never fall in love again
I can never fall in love again
