Chez Jay

I don't have much preamble again today. It must be nice to not wade through so much writing hey? I guess I'm just too tired. But I've written a poem. A bit of a story I guess. 

Like I said in my last post, I'll get back to giving you more variety once I have instruments again, from this weekend onwards. I'm really looking forward to freshening things up. 

I won't explain the title. Those who need to know will know. Those who don't know probably don't need to know.

Chez Jay

New York State is under my wheels

But it's the last thing on my mind

Empty road leads off ahead 

My past fades off behind

My burning eyelids start to fall

I know I've lost that fight

I park below a big oak tree 

And think about that night

I long to be where life is now

Where we have all we need

Where we can hit the town and dine

With wine and dance til three

And lay in bed while rain and thunder

Tap and bang their drum

Or talk whole nights away alone

Or walk by sea and sun

I know I have to drive for days

Then start my life again

I know I have to find a way

New beginnings follow ends

So much fills up my mind but here

I rest, I must allow

So I can keep things bright and clear

And not be obsessed with "how"

As I know that everything I need

Is here in this old car

Except for you, but pretty soon

We'll meet at that old bar

At the booth that brought us face to face

And sparks soon lit a fire

I know now as I knew right then

This high will just get higher
