Piano


Smokey windows, shattered glass Broken souls looking for healing Coughing, woots and hollers A passing waitress, traveling hands and cat calls Dusty tables and creaky floors One spot light It calls you and you come back Looking for salvation away from home Is she an angel? A seductive songstress Red lipstick and an old school mic Parted lips looking for water Wanting air wanting to breathe And the mic stand caressed in soft hands Held like a lover Another drink another fight The show must go on Lyrics you don’t hear Down a dark alley tears are allowed to fall You can close your eyes and Listen but don’t understand Let her sing Let the piano play Let the waitress deliver Smokey windows for lost souls They hear words but understand feelings Let’s fall into oblivion
