Once I awoke to a different day Followed a dream to a distant drum Looking to find my place in the sun Only time walked through my mind Welcomed me to a new beginning Challenged me to answer from deep within Castle’s in the sand built by a foolish man Watched in a mirror as he shivered and shook Waited for him to come to me, if only in aspirations Downs to go to bed and ups to clear my head Dancing with the shadows and perfume left upon the pillows Seems you knew you’d cherish the scents, ever before the dawn of gone Then one moment , words formed a tapestry They cradled the moon as if wet to rain Watched me as I tried to rope the wind From “Take me if you must” To perfect to be real, I seemed to feel The weight of passing thoughts…tears flowed like rain So reappears the bad man, the sad man, the mad man Kicking Cowboy ass and scratching the Texas terrain their ladies claiming all the while, this heart held the patent on love Then one day, forty becomes more than something you drink You come to realize, Jack Black doesn’t mix well with twenty five Sober you realize through the blues, God has seen fit to allow you another day Back to the blizzards of the north, legal tender calls you to come forth Where proudly you display your Rams jacket to all of Packer land, dare them to take a stand Whereby the ladies, still swear you care, for they are unaware, inside you died…long ago Never one to like the Coke, I just liked the way it smelled Or maybe again maybe it was the way the blue eyed ladies yelled When I swore as I watched them contort, I couldn’t snort…Viagra Call it as you may, see things as you must Soon the Moon will once again call me out Until then I shall ponder and wonder…where are my damn car keys? |
