t-bone walker blues

this tuesday reeks of sadness
the shadows sing the song of pain
deep and as black as the sea

through the night i see your eyes
piercing sapphires in the dark
and they're crying with the shadows
shedding uncertain tears in the moonlight
the moon is in your eyes, i call
but i cry for what we lost together
the journey of a thousand heart beats
the distance of a million fears
recorded in the stars between breaths

silent wednesday rolls around by three
and i'm left awake in bed thinking
