about

For Bob

lyrics

Laid all the pages out
And there put his name down
Mailed off his hopes and his safety net

The last of the applicants
The face of a good man spent
Sold off his Harley for a few months rent

He said, “that’s the last one babe,
Here’s to hopin the bow don’t break”
Gave her long kiss and went on to bed

Caught with a clouded mind and a chip stack fading fast
Taking on water, and out of range
Looking ore the heights with the Spirit in your chest
You got room to breath and a torch to raise

Call it a saint’s last stand
The grit of three piece band
Turned up the amps till the bar flies sung

Then one particularly dreary day
He and his girl well they stole away
Got out of Jersey before the wars begun
