return to my poetry's home.

this is the result of a song writing session with samuel west, for our band: kan. music by him, words by me, arrangement by both of us.

as usual it quickly degenerates into absurdity, although this time i think someone unwarned might guess it was serious. little do they know me. :-)

i cry now

i went down to the city,
but you know you'll never see her again.
the sun goes down in mourning.
the moon comes up in despair.

bridge: i know she ain't happy,
it's me she really wants.

walking these streets at night,
i always remember when she was there.
the moon goes down in mourning.
the sun comes up in despair.

*bridge*

chorus: she was my light.
she was my star.
i always cry now.
oh she's gone so far.

another smokey bar,
you know she'll never come.
the whisky goes down in mourning.
the sun comes up in despair.

*bridge*

*chorus twice*
