Parachute - Parachute

White ice towers, slow dissolving Now fall. Below savage moon Iron cities soon to rust. Warned first by the gathering shadows They fled. From wide vapour deserts They turned turned towards the sea. Pale worn the walking, pass Through concrete glades. Torn shadows, slashed silence, ahhh.

What’s The Use - Parachute

We gave you our love We gave you our love As we bent to do wrong. Your smile was the wind Your smile was the wind As it swept us along. Why can’t you understand That we can’t build to lines of a plan. What’s the use, what’s the use …..

She’s A Lover - Parachute

She takes the moon and stars To wear as her disguise. Then catching cosmic rays She uses them for eyes. She’s a lover And you know she’s coming through She’s a lover And you know she’s coming through With warm breezes She will wipe away the sigh. In the green folds of her skirt A […]

Sickle Clowns - Parachute

Down by the river Three sickle mounted souls, Lay wined on the green leaf, Digging their rock ‘n’ roll, Hey hey, digging their rock ‘n’ roll.

Miss Fay Regrets - Parachute

You’re corrugated steel baby Platinum to feel lady, Eyes are just two heavy stones, Someone, spilt the glass, And you’re ageing much too fast, And, you say that you’ve been left alone.

Rain - Parachute

When i got, to our meeting place I stared into empty space, No-one here for me, oh no no no …..

The Letter - Parachute

She wrote me a letter, From the green fields it came. She wrote me a letter, Trying to explain. Now living came easy, In velvet valleys of sun, She wrote me a letter… She wrote me a letter, So many questions she asked, She knew i just couldn’t answer, For they were all in the […]

In The Square - Parachute

In the square, she came running, I was lucky to be there. In her hair, she wore flowers, The scent it filled the air. She must leave, not returning, I was sadness standing there, A silent square, bus of silver, With my vision disappears.
