Extra Mile

That feted face
That stunning smile
Hasn't been seen
In quite a while

Entertainer’s Widow

Entertainer’s Widow

I have no reason to write

I need only to say

When you are out of my sight

I think of you every day

When you are with me the whole world seems in tune

When we are apart nothing seems to matter

I hope we are together soon

I couldn’t begin to feel sadder

I know your work is needed

The world must know of you

But while your work is feted

I sit at home feeling blue

But someday soon you’ll come home to me

Then all the world will see that you belong to me

Misericorde

Misericorde

The cord stretches tightly and binds us

Across the oceans and plains

No matter how far the distance finds us

The truth quite humbly remains

Like a song written just out of tempo

Echoing with a crazy beat

I carry your soul as a memento

Of times when loving was sweet

Sometimes I lay and reminisce

Of days when gentlemen called

Being courted and feted and kissed

It can’t be as good as recalled

So return, wayfaring stranger

Show compassion by staying your hand

Relieve me of my danger

I beg of you, answer my command
