play misty for me

          
piano keys sing the blues
little sad notes tinkle in the background
music at a dinner party
putting me in the mood to cry
 
everyone in deep conversation
I'm alone in the dark
just bars and bridges to hang onto
 
ice clinks...whiskey on the rocks
empty feelings in my heart
the blues are playing just for me
 
low notes filled with despair
music over the damned
thoughts and feelings peak and plummet
keeping in tempo...with an operatic moaning
 
tears slip silently down my face
the hidden face I let no one see
on the outside, I'm cool composure
an ice sculpture with smile frozen in place
 
the blues are playing in my soul
I succumb to the feeling
knowing it will have its way with me
 
it starts and ends with you
play misty for me Clint
cos love is a cunt who won't let go
