Lounge Singer She strokes keys, high-low-high Chords strike, dark blues bar Straight blonde hair swinging Her voice hushing the crowd Green eyes penetrate the chosen Men twist round in their chairs Too good for this stinking joint Sultry sexy voice hits home Sparking interest with her song Rising and falling, a diphthong Wrapped in a sea foam sheath Bejeweled long fingers loving ivory Smoke drifts past like ghosts She is unaware, lost in reverie Her intensity bounces in waves It radiates, permeates, alters air Raptured breaths caught involuntarily A moment captured, she alone owns Bar maids stand still, trays in hand Bartender mid-stream beer flows Witnesses of her gift, she shares A taste, a glimpse into heaven As brief as the song is long A reminder Of all they lack © 1999 Corinne Bailey |
