When The Night Comes Raincoats and rent's due and Roy Orbison records I'm coasting on weather reports without your love the stairwell is creaking, the roof is leaking and I'm an arc of contradictions looking for a dove I'm tired of sticking my heart back together with glue when the night comes I'll be wishing for you Frigidaires and footsteps and sad Fellini flicks it's a parade of monotony without your grace worn tires are rolling, my head is swollen it's a mountain of negotiations to see your face I'm sick of picking at this old scar of emotional truth when the night comes I'll be dreaming of you Oh I swear I'll hang by my nectie on a fish hook moon just to see you walking backwards on back to bed there's angels and demons and warfare above my room as the sharp scent of morning rears its ugly head day beckons like a tightrope walk into blinding blue when the night comes I'll be longing for you Oh I see the lights tonight as I stumble through a tune words form, words fail, similes fall, metaphors fly the clockwork of my heart softens as Nat begins to croon that old Gershwin song you used to sing like a sigh reality snaps and I fall to my knees, cut cleanly in two when the night comes I'll be calling for you Raincoats, rent's due and Roy Orbison records I'm coasting on weather reports without your love the stairwell is creaking, the roof is leaking and I'm an arc of contradictions looking for a dove I'm tired of sticking my heart back together with glue when the night comes I'll be wishing for you and I'll be dreaming of you yeah I'll be longing for you night has all but fallen can't you hear me calling? In my reverie I feel somehow you are near when the night comes I'll be waiting for you to appear "It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever" -Jeff Buckley |

Soul Drifter...Really loved this. You set a mood of a lonely man sitting by a warm fire place sharing a drink with his emotions and thoughts. Thanks for sharing...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
