Restless Spirits

Restless Spirits

For reasons that don’t matter
I was walking down the alley
When I heard some music coming through the screen
And without really thinking I walked up to the window
Into a scene that looked just like a dream

She was standing in the kitchen with her face turned toward the ceiling
Her eyes were closed but still they held the light
And from a battered guitar, a sound like angels weeping
For all those restless spirits in the night

Well I don’t know how long I stood there
But it felt like many lifetimes
Until I felt the load just lift away
Walking down the alley
Feeling so much better
I knew that I could take another day

She was standing in the kitchen…
