He was sitting on the corner cigarette dangling from dry lip whiskey bottle by his side finger teasing music from that old guitar. She whispered hey as she walked by on the stroll,her "buy me" clothes barely there. The music and his eyes in a riff down her back just like his fingers on the neck of that guitar hey His music touched a part of her she never felt before and her voice found the words to a song she never knew...and she sang For that moment they weren't a down on his luck musician and a sad eyed lady of the night and together they were more than they ever were apart. For in that moment he was Bruce he was Jimi he was Willie he was Kris And in that moment she was Gracie she was Janis she was Dolly she was Reba And they were more Then his fingers ceased to strum and her sweet voice died away and he lifted the whiskey bottle and watched as a car pulled up and she slipped inside again he was a has been and she a lady of the night on a dirty street corner. But, oh, in that moment he was Bruce, he was Jimi, he was Kris and she was Gracie, she was Janis, she was Dolly and they were more together than they ever were apart. For a moment he was Bruce she was Gracie and the music played |

Paula This is great...with the subject matter I'm thinking this is ethome, but I'm not sure. You did create one of his moods! |

Gee, because of the theme only I have to agree with the majority here, and say Ethome. I loved it by the way! |

this is incredible - the subject, the stir in the heart it brings - wonderful-  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

WOW, what a cool write! "and together they were more than they ever were apart." I guess I'd have to say Eric as well, though there are a couple of others who could write this tune. You did a great job! |
