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
