The foggy mist rose swiftly from the creek.
It encircled the pampas grass like a wreath.
The verdant razor blades of grass were bleak.
As the creamy plumes were wet beneath
On the qui vive for any movement of nature
Longing to linger and watch some more
Duty calls me to responsibility~ wager
If I respond to that call as before

Are you an angel from heaven
Or an object of my obsession
I don’t know
Are you the woman I can find
Or are you a phantom that haunts my mind
I don’t know
Was I your prince on the qui vive
Or was a fool playing make believe
I don’t know
Do you have someone else to see
And do you even remember me
I don’t know

From his pulpit the parson railed 'gainst booze
For some in his pews this wasn't good news
For so many, you see
Bootlegged on the qui vive
They all harmonized in singing the blues
