Song For Amy

Song for Amy
Black hair falling cross her shoulder
She ain’t seen the sun for weeks now
An empty bottle sits beside her
And there’s no shining star to guide her
She sings her blue eyed soul
Like a gypsy queen of old
Telling fortunes makes her wiser

But then road called out her name
And it took her just the same
Like a lover’s kiss she’s blowing free
From the emptiness inside
From the places she can’t hide
Now she’s just a plaintive melody

When she was a baby child
That music took her by the hand
Said you’re a flower growing wild
Sometimes you gotta take a stand
Go find a ramblin’ song
One that sings of love gone wrong
A jukebox in the promised land

Then road called out her name
And she took it just the same
Like a lover’s kiss she’s blowing free
From the emptiness inside
From the places she can’t hide
Now she’s just a plaintive melody

And she won’t say just where she’s going
She only knows she’s homeward bound
She’s just a voice upon a shooting star
That sings of what she’s lost and found
Just a lingering melody
That streaks across the galaxy
Rambling on to sacred ground

When road called out her name
She followed just the same
Like a lover’s kiss she’s blowing free
From the emptiness inside
From the places she can’t hide
Now she’s just a plaintive melody
