It is dark early dawn I can't sleep so wander from my bed on the men's dormitory to the lounge passing by the night nurse who's sitting in her room writing up her report can't you sleep? she calls out I walk back to her door and peer in no I can't thought I'd go to the lounge have a smoke watch the snow falling down did you now? aren't you on sleeping pills? still wake up I tell her she muses looks at me have to see if the doc will increase the dosage she replies then Yiska comes behind puts her arms around me early bird she whispers kisses my neck soft warm lips not you too the nurse says have to see the doctor about both of you two put Benny down Yiska go and sit in the lounge and cool off both of you the nurse says so we do wander up to the lounge and go stand by the large lounge window watch the snow coming down on the trees and the grounds below us and the fields beyond that how calming it all looks Yiska says like a big Christmas card I reply we light up cigarettes and stand there holding hands two lost souls on the bridge of a slow sinking ship removing cigarettes then kissing with passion lip to lip.

LIP TO LIP 1971.
It is dark early dawn I can't sleep so wander from my bed on the men's dormitory to the lounge passing by the night nurse who's sitting in her room writing up her report can't you sleep? she calls out I walk back to her door and peer in no I can't thought I'd go to the lounge have a smoke watch the snow falling down did you now? aren't you on sleeping pills? still wake up I tell her she muses looks at me have to see if the doc will increase the dosage she replies then Yiska comes behind puts her arms around me early bird she whispers kisses my neck soft warm lips not you too the nurse says have to see the doctor about both of you two put Benny down Yiska go and sit in the lounge and cool off both of you the nurse says so we do wander up to the lounge and go stand by the large lounge window watch the snow coming down on the trees and the grounds below us and the fields beyond that how calming it all looks Yiska says like a big Christmas card I reply we light up cigarettes and stand there holding hands two lost souls on the bridge of a slow sinking ship removing cigarettes then kissing with passion lip to lip.
