Busted by the groove the Wolf man’s got your ears Johnny Mercer brings tears throughout the years Kissed by the lonely lullaby it embodies the empty spaces draws from shadows and evokes gentle sighs Hear the pleading moving soul of one tortured by a memory through the instrument and voice it bleeds In the cold world a tune decidedly changes moods brings unquestionable comfort a safe harbor it buys
Trade the dull the common for the images set to pace they spill they emerge they dance freeing to all Torn air in this space the wayfarer the drifter slips on the invisible current anytime or hour its glorious sunset The inner called it listens with formable grace it blends all to magnificence and lives in highest taste The source abridged by your convenience it can say more or less your interpretation decides its state
Fix the volume find a tucked away place the room fills with all manner of trips and promises of returns Listen to that horn blown out of the delta or those sacred streets of the greatest cool bourbon Street A little Sacmo what a wonderful world and don’t forget to honor and extol the other horn Lena Horn Slides and rifts they were and are the greatest gifts every one given a stage all leaves lasting wonder
The crescendo reached then the fall what imagination stirred to the maxim highs and depths what awes Take stir my heart give it all you’ve got don’t give it back in a few make it last only return it when it’s full Hard as stones soft as Eddie money you get a thrill they show you the road it used to cost a juke box dime I hear one in the dorm grooving to the Cat all space filled as the waves sweetly moved by a quiet storm
