Beachy Head, New Year's Day I came to blow my hangover away Unload the dump truck in my mind today Happy New Year Yes yes oh yay Too much wine Too much time together It's been a bad year A bad December I said things I would regret If i only could remember Car park, a flag flies half mast on a pole Blue with stars of gold: I shiver Caught in the freezing cold rain Horizontal on my face again And the wind treats me no better It's like a personal vendetta Sent over from Calais Like it's angry with me and my country in some way Half blind I find a place to hide behind In-between two signs: left and right They read, 'The Samaritans are always there Every day, every night...' And the chaplain car rolls by Looking low and high For men prepared to die On a window ledge Balanced with one foot on life's knife edge A friend texts but I choose to ignore it These days my phone stays firmly in my pocket Drawbridge up and I shut down (It's only gravity that kills you when you hit the ground) Why do we push friends away when we need them the most? I'm at the end of the world: the South East Coast As the mist rolls in and softens The dim light from a single lamppost And if no man is an island No country can be too But across the sea our lifeline Disappearing out of view And help feels so far away now Yesterday it felt so near Before nothing came between us Now it's a light year
