Piano
Location
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
