Dream Maker…Heart Breaker
There you were last night,
in my living room.
Bigger than life, you were always that,
so small, and so much bigger than life.
I haven’t a clue when I’ll stop thinking
about you this time…
stop thinking about the march of time,
and age and death -
the certainties that even your angelic eyes
couldn’t stop.
You were softly,
so softly singing,
and strumming your guitar,
and I was falling in love all over again.
But we haven’t seen those eyes,
and that smile,
that smile,
since 1993 and I wonder how it’s even possible
that the world can keep itself turning
since that spirit of yours just had to go –
lightly. Of course even that you crossed in style.
I wonder where you have breakfast now –
if there’s a jewelry store somewhere.
It’s silly of course. I could never really know you.
It’s just that,
behind the funny face, you were so real.
That’s what I always felt.
And there you were last night,
finding your nameless cat,
and your love, in the rain.
And I cried at the end –
the rainbow’s end,
waitin’ round the bend…
And you were gone again.
