a song so familiar
Gypsy music or maybe Cajun
I just couldn\'t place it
between us the river was ragin
a melody so poignant
it was difficult to ignore
a hymm,
that was the fog on the river
and the sand on the shore
isn\'t there a Jasmine
that blooms in the night
and a moonflower that
closes in dawns first light
muddy old
deep river blues
being sung by a man
without any shoes
a full moon , warm summer night
moonshine whiskey tucked on the ground
singing a deep low river song
while knowing no one else is around
suddenly answering chanteys
a duet from barge to shore
a violin so evocatively sweet
that your heart just tore
they only did play
for a sweet short time
but sometimes there is magic
in a moonlight paradigm
they carried on the ballad
even after they fell from view
faint , sweet wisting away
both kept playing soft and true
haunting
stirring
touching
so powerful
that it took me home ...
