Sky Blue & Your Eyes Too

Sky blue
and your eyes too
the hand that shapes the wheel
will take me away from all I feel

I found you in this Crackerjack box of a town
now I wonder how
and you pulled at my shirt until I was naked
now I know you thought we couldn’t make it
and you were right
but please don’t shut off the light
just yet
you know I won’t forget

Sundown
and your hair brown
put the night in my rear view
and a silver moon meant for two

I lost you to the dark corridors in my mind
now I’m running blind
when did I look to see you let go of my hand
why did you slip away from me like sand
I’m left to deal
one sweet moment of time still
to fall
what to do with it all

Sky blue on blue
and your eyes too
I wonder how much time lets slip away
as I find myself pulling into your driveway

Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I love it all! You make my heart skip only to weigh heavy in the end. And always you blow me out of the water with your keen eye and true confessions.      I wish you love my drifter friend.
