Salvage © Rookes 2019
I’ll pretend we’ll meet again
When the dust has settled down
In the end we once were friends
Don’t know what to call you now
When you vanished from my everyday
You left a vacuum in your shape
And took the worlds I wanted to say
With you, with you
Now I cannot take it back
And I can’t reverse my tracks
But I wish that I could salvage something, anything
And I know you know that
And I know you know that
When I fell, I fell too hard
There was more than balance lost
I could tell what I have learned
But it came at such a cost
When you vanished from my everyday
Couldn’t bring myself to just replace
And even now I know
I can’t stay with you
And I cannot take it back
And I can’t reverse my tracks
But I wish that I could salvage something, anything
And I know you know that
And I know you know that
No, I cannot take it back
And I can’t reverse my tracks
But I wish that I could salvage something, anything
And I know you know that
And I know you know that
You did not seem the kind
To not know what you want
You never did surprise
Except in this
Now I cannot take it back
And I can’t reverse my tracks
But I wish that I could salvage something, anything
And I know you know that
And I know you know that
No, I cannot take it back
And I can’t reverse my tracks
But I wish that I could salvage something, anything
And I know you know that
And I know you know that
And I know you know that

New Lovers © Rookes 2019
New lovers
In orbit of each other
Do the dance over
And do no harm
New lovers
In the throes of deep surrender
Now moving closer
And do no harm
Do no harm
You pass me by
A secret to my eyes
Unspoken still, yet so wanted
Our chests burst wide
With new bodies inside
And fresh chances to get it right
New lovers
In orbit of each other
Do the dance over
And do no harm
New lovers
In the throes of deep surrender
Now moving closer
And do no harm
Do no harm
I swear
If I’m running anywhere
It’s in the direction of your door
So kiss me now
And play the part
You have designed for yourself in my heart
New lovers
In orbit of each other
Do the dance over
And do no harm
New lovers
In the throes of deep surrender
Now moving closer
And do no harm
Do no harm
Do no harm
Do no harm

Liminal © Rookes 2019
There’s half the moon
Fills half the room
But it’s half too soon to
Tell if I need you yet
Getting needs met
Was never an issue
Now everything but you
Tastes wrong on my tongue
Can you, can you meet me halfway?
(Can you meet me halfway?)
Can you meet me halfway?
The first time I tipped your face to mine
You took my breath away
So it’s possible
If illogical
Am I a fool to
Scheme to draw you near to me
So many people
Are so hard read, oh
But you are not, though
It’s such a relief, but I don’t know what it means
Can you, can you meet me halfway?
(Can you meet me halfway?)
Can you meet me halfway?
The first time I tipped your face to mine
You took my breath away
The first time I tipped your face to mine
You took my breath away
I want your skin under my fingers
To breathe you in and sing you out again
I’m simmering in a liminal space
I don’t want to wait
Can you, can you meet me halfway?
(Can you meet me halfway?)
Can you meet me halfway?
The first time I tipped your face to mine
You took my breath away
The first time I tipped your face to mine
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away

Constellations © Rookes 2019
Dead light
Travelled across the universe to be with us here, tonight
You cried so long
Matching puzzle pieces so hard to find
We were wrong
We wandered needlessly to fill time
Our songs
Would lead us on to each other eventually
You left
Trails of light across my mind
The night we met
There will be constellations yet
Your eyes
So clear and bright and full of things for me to learn here, tonight
It might take all my life
But for the first time I am not afraid
We were wrong
We wandered needlessly to fill time
Our songs
Showed us what’s meant for you won’t pass you by
You left
Trails of light across my mind
The night we met
There will be constellations yet
You left
Trails of light across my mind
The night we met
There will be constellations yet
Constellations yet
Constellations yet
Constellations
