little girl blue,
They reminisce over you,
In the cosmic blues,
A star before the fire sparked,
consistent front page news.
A heart of golden rock and roll,
Nothing stopping you.
The pain inside took its toil,
the grain in your voice and tortured soul,
stole us all from you.
It was time that took your life,
In the the time of your life
You wanted to be loved so much,
but not enough to change your mind.
Now you are a shooting star,
that burnt out years before,
Captured in the music left,
that all of us adore.
Janis joplin
