Last Dance
Remember that September
in the mountains in the rain?
You wore a sash of satin
and you tossed it from the train.
I have it in the pocket
of my old trench coat back home
along with that small locket
and your silver brush and comb.
Just trinkets and momentos of
a life that might have been,
I see you in the mirror right behind me
there my friend.
You look a little hollow eyed
and wild
like New Year's Eve
you know I never even cried
the day I saw you leave.
Come dance a gentle dance with me
and whisper in my ear,
I don't care if no one can see
For I know that your'e here.
