First Sight Kind of Love

Smokey jazz bar and the woman of your dreams...gone...just like that. Courage Man! Courage!

 

Dark days in this corner bar.

It so far off

The beaten path.

It has

Ambience

Cigarettes and booze

Spilling on my shoes

It has

Ambience.

Across the room

I see the shadow

Swallow

Half of your face

And my mind starts to pace

It does circles

And hurdles

Hoping for the light.

Hoping for the sight

To see through

The darkened half.

The jazz is playing

The piano is saying

Words

The bassist getting hers

And the smoke seems to thicken.

To be stricken.

It's a moment.

You have to hold it

Or it can turn into frenzy.

It can turn into love.

First sight kind of love.

Dynamite kind of love.

And liquor won't help.

It just brings you to brave

'Til you just can't behave.

And the darkness still consumes

Half of your face.

Hello...

Two syllable word

Why can't I say it?

Hello.

You seem lovely tonight.

Why can't I say it?

JUST LET GO!

As the drummer ups the tempo

And the sultry singer steps slow

To the mic

The moment is right

Half your face day

The other half night

Of which glimpses I see

By your cigarette light.

But the fight

Is too strong

I waited to long.

And as I stand

The band

Ends the song.
