about the boy

He's lost some weight
since the last time i saw him
and that chip on his shoulder
must be where it all went
guess the city
was hard on him
but hey, he's quit smoking
though he still drinks everyday
and his eyes, those eyes
are different now.

He dont play guitar as much
and he don't write.
he's grown a new outlook
on the way things are
doesn't dream bout love
but whats above (his head)
so once in a while
he plays the blues
but he don't sing'em
anymore..


dear man who takes my heart like the moonshine
what use is a grail, if the drink has gone dry?
so I'll drive under the sunset
like clouds across the pastel sky
