wasn't it you? (redux)


Pat Kirtley's song is the inspiration for a few lines I wrote about a year ago...



following bad love with good
you were right there all the time
as the long night of anger lifted
into a lemon yellow morning
wasn't it you, after all?

wasn't it you
balancing life backwards
like Ginger keeping in step with Fred
graceful as a slow
sleigh ride down
a snow covered pasture lane?
