kodack blues

KODACK BLUES Up above me is an empty sky Tonight, I miss you, but I cannot cry I’m travelling like an explorer’s ship I forge a smile but don’t give a flip Nighttime calls me and I wonder why Do you see me drifting Don’t I look so sly Neon lights give me sights to see And nobody can play a fool like me Heedless hours on the telephone line I’m doing well, hope you’re doing fine As we sit with our hearts intombed Feeling nothing but impending doom Forget the passages that turn to dust Remember love is larger by trust Am I a wounded warrior in a useless war Running fast to catch my falling star Muddled in my memories with my heart on fire Can’t stand the truth so I settle for desire All we settle for is less than life And we’re looking at time like it’s got a knife Tonight, I miss you But I cannot cry Up above me is An open sky DENVER 1992
