Ode To Justin

Ode To Justin

I found your passing online
And the world ain't doin' fine
My tears are red, my heart skipped a beat
My soul is bruised and in retreat
With your earnest voice and slim frame
You could rescue the lost, make a mess sane
I found your passing online
And the world ain't doin' fine
The moon's above the mountain, the night is still
Ain't no coyotes howlin'
Cause this day just got real
I found your passing online
And the world ain't doin' fine
When the music is buried
And the dirt is deep
I'll be wonderin' the streets
Howling in my sleep
I found your passing online
And the world ain't doin' fine

A most Byzantine codification, methinks, Monsieur Moncrief. Salut!
