| Retrospective A boy on the edge of seventeen Listens, As Leon sings �A hard rain is gunna fall� The boy, Now forty two, reflects on twenty five with her in a blur Seems he still sings the same song for she, is loved, In a place�where there�s no space� in time Goin down a hard road doesn�t know where he�s been people make him crazy downs make him lazy seems he�s sampled every sin A story often told yet he speaks �with silence and pain smiles he sold never to come his way again So, how many days has it been since he was born? the stranger in a strange land built all his castles in the sand and watched as he stood torn in so many ways And hummingbird You never ever flew away and today the boy remembers her understanding knows she was more�than he ever deserved Yes lady blue you know its true will always love you now and through infinity For you were more than just A lover, a mother, and a wife You were a friend until the end and you loved me Thank you�Audrey Copyright �-2001 Dennis Hicks |
