Scuse Me

was it purple haze
that filled my eyes
when I said scuse me
while I kiss the sky

the wind whispered Mary
and someones house was burning
causing a manic depression
the tides were gently turning

the crosstown traffic
searching for the flower power
and the voodoo chile
all along the watchtower

I say hey Joe
where you goin' with that gun
lookin' for the foxy lady
and stayin' on the run

so I stood next to a mountain
while the gods made love
another rainy day dream away
hearing Jimi from above

why did you have to go
I wasn't finished with my listen
I'll see you on the other side
now my eyes slightly glisten

Gomer LePoet ....
thinking about the haunting voice and guitar of the too soon departed Jimi Hendrix :(
