Chinese Whispers

Don’t tap against my window.
Don’t listen at my wall.
Don’t ask for information.
As the answer’s always no.
Collect me
From the station.
The blank departure
Board.
We’ll talk in
Chinese whispers.
While the snow
Begins to fall
Painting Easter (?)
With the cold (?)
I don’t need you
But I want you.
I don’t want you
But I need you.
Ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho.
There is blossom
In the garden
On the magnolia
Tree.
The ivies are
Taking over
Where you planted
Rosemary
Where you planted
Rosemary.
I don’t need you
But I want you.
I don’t want you
But I need you.
Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
