Going to work in this same old place
draping the boss in gold
Keeping the politicians safely tucked within their fold

But that won’t stop my baby from coming home to me one day
Just take a look at what I've got
And listen when I say….

I’ve got sunshine in the day,
I’ve got the shining stars at night,
and the clouds that blow my way
will pass again, so that’s alright
Got no rumble in my belly
when I curl up in my bed
Then there’s this never-ending song
that keeps revolving in my head

Please... understand
she’s in the marrow of my bones
I can’t see this world in any other way

There’s nothing that’s more grand
in polished gold and precious stones
when the hardness in my heart just melts away

...just bein' Bluesy

Bluesy,

"when the hardness in my heart just melts away"

What a wonderful end to a great poem! You write the best mushy stuff ever! ~L

It's gonna be one fine day, Bluesy, when you and your true love finally get back together.

Thanks so much.
