A GENTLE SOUL

You came home with a six pack of your favorite beer, and a new CD you wanted me to hear, but then the sun set another day and once again your blown away 'Confused soul' Why'd you let go of your family, why'd you ever let things go this far, living your life out in a bar. Could've held on to the love you've denied now your out there alone on the other side 'Drunken soul' Weak minded followers cling to you, hang around just to drink with you, cheering you on like a celebrity, leaving you passed out on the street 'misguided soul' I tried to free you from all your debt, kissed your brow and wiped your sweat, read about your pain in your poetry, heard your heart break when you sang to me 'Broken soul' The ones you trusted took you in to gloat, letting you run wild was like cutting your throat, when the sun came up they refuse to be stuck, so they criticized you and then said good luck 'Trusting soul' Like a self made savior you rewrite your blues, an dance with the derelicts in your worn out shoes, In your Buffalo Exchange with long facial hair, you run like an orphaned gypsy on streets called 'Nowhere' 'Lost Soul' Tears spilling out from the hole in your heart, drenching the strings on your stolen guitar, the worn down lead in your pencil wood, reveals timeless hours writing trying to feel good 'Weeping Soul' The sun came up another day your gentle soul was blown away, why'd you ever let it get this way, will you ever yearn for the truth, will you ever come back to stay. 'Faithless Soul'
