Standing alone in the rain
I look at all my pain
My life has gone through middle age
And I feel I am in a cage
Your music came to me one day,
The high pitched sounds along the way,
Soothing my soul in the words that you say
I relinquish my sorrows where I may
I have loved you all these years
And the echo of your voice I hear,
Songs of sensuality, unclear
Passionate verses without fear
I have lusted for you all this time
Making love to you in rhythm and rhyme
In my fantasies ,your lyrics are a chime
Your notes ,the dearest pantomime
You are mine but never mine
You were a star ,way too far
Down below and oh so low
I lie alone ,in motions of slow
You are human too,
You know agony as well,
Bled like mortals
Fell like mortals
Aged like all of us
Changed like all of us
Yet, to me,
You will always
Be the same
With your golden
Hair, flowing in the wind
As you crooned and cooed
Your long tall frame
Blending with the bars
Of the drums , the bass
and lead guitar
Your body is my altar
Your voice, my vision of hope
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing remains the same
Not the singer nor the song
As we move in life along
But in my mind I see only you
Singing the blues in blue
In all colors and hue,
With you, I am young again
With you I am new again
Your voice is my song of hope.
