And She Knows - the 6th Street Series - Part 2

11:45 pm Spot light’s glare, shadows rocking Wooden stage moving beneath my feet Worn of past performances, steadied for the new breed Bottles line the edge, dead soldiers, lipstick Some full, some not, some spilled…nice She’s there, always there, a comforting sight Behind the bar, eyes that invite and a laugh that sings Keeping watch, black printed T, wears it perfectly Hot as all Hades, but cool as spring Not sure if she owns this or it owns her…but she knows Sticks count out the intro… 2,3,4 High on E, bent to a G, this is it, her favorite, the one that gets her right there She looks up at me with that smile, that smile Loving how this feels in her heart And she knows I know… The way she moves her head from side to side Eyes closed, lips smooth, shut tight, grooving Playing an air guitar now, She’s good…following my lead fret by fret She knows how…yes she knows Maybe I’m in love, no maybe…she is mine My music is for her, it’s always been for her And somehow, she’s the lyrics I have always sung…and always will I play D’addario, she plays heart strings…mine Mouthing the words to the chorus, She is my silent harmony tonight, pitch perfect This music is us, this club her world, our world I love this place, I love us and I love her And she knows… The 6th Street I am talking about is in Austin Texas. It is the center of the musical world in that city. You can find any kind of music you like being played live in any of a number of different clubs on this street There are four parts to this series if you care to see them. Actually there are 5, but # 5 would probably be a bit much for this site.
