'Hey, drop me a rhyme, sing me a song,
I've waited so long, and now is the time',
said lucy and waved a cuban cigar
and cleaned out the bar before she turned my way
This was back in the days when my hair was long
and I had my songs of beauty and grace
And I was alone just passing my time,
waiting in line for anyone to come and take me along
So lucy could pull a cloud from her hair
and softly the air turned hopeful
We would float in the streets and lay in the parks
we traded our marks with millions to meet,
and dying my hair in my time of dyin'
I looked at the sign, it said 'you best beware, boy'
She would pick up my blues with her amber greens among
the machines, the noise, the abuse I'm telling you this
because you're my friend, if this is the end then
you'll know what you have and what you missed
As I try to pull these scenes from the screen
don't ask what I mean, my head's full
Well love can drain out the seas and cool off the sun
but rifles and guns can't call off the peace
that I felt inside when I held that hand,
when I couldn't land and waited for the tide
And when she was cold and I used to sing
words poured from my fingers down to her soul
Though she had my words and I had her thoughts
the war that we fought was ever so illusive and absurd
The battles at night, the lights in the night,
so shady and yet so starbright
Dawn would rise on us fast, it came from the sea,
it moved with the breeze and the sky overcast
With blood on the rhymes, my piano in flames,
my voice called her name at least a thousand times
Well I have swum on the moon and flown on a rag,
I've danced with a dragon and lived a cartoon
But lucy could wave a cuban cigar
and say 'let's go far, far as we can', and that would
make your day
So these are your rhymes, and here is a song embracing
a moment in time
