but the kick’s not enough to get me / into high / gear

with no one, and nothing, to / bring me into cheer

The Gwent winter stars / clear up / high

the lights of Hereford cars / cruising / by

when I / lay in the / house, a / hibernating / mouse

I think Orion’s Belt up in / the cold Gwent / air

maybe, just maybe, the stars / might / care

when I lay in the / house, a / hibernating / mouse

with no one, and nothing, to bring // contentment to bear
