Cowboy Boots
Yesterday I waited for you all dayThey told me that you'd never comeRemember the weather, the phoney winterRaindrops run along the branchesYou can't smooth things away with a wordOr wipe them away with a handkerchiefTears are happy they flow a long timeTry to forget, never forgetChaos stalks outside your visionDestruction howls outside the gatesThinking of nothing just looking downAt Cowboy Boots, cowboy bootsA glowing face shines in the leatherAnd slowly drowns in white pearl buttonsA flash of red, a slick of hair & cowboy bootsMean what you say, say what you meanLook in the book, can't find the wordThinking down,s looking nothingThe bus was crowded the street desertedThe stranger's hand ran through my pocketsPlumes of smoke and muddy water
