The Virgin Anthology(2013)

Atonement

I'm going ahead

Throwing faith into your heart

You're going south

I'm chained north

You're something I want

Someone I need

The needle in my haystack

Something I'd never want to give back

I'm calling you my grain at the beach

There are a lot like you

But that's it- I want you

I want you to grow in my rainforest of life.

Fissures are developing between us

But know that

Through unison division and all tradition

If you call

I can be on late night on the busiest bus

Seeking you wherever you are.

Through the most thunderous of showers

The heaviest of rains

Gales of wind

Know that my affection for you is galvanised each morning.

Now I can go

Praising you in all your honour

In most of your valour

But then I'd be insulting the purpose of this paper

Tomorrow is a new day with new people and things

I want you to enjoy yourself in all their magnitude and splendour

Today I'll be in Berlin, then Tokyo, and probably Mombasa

But forever I'll be waiting on you
