A penny for your thoughts.

A penny for your thoughts…

1- Once a pretty Michigan girl told me.

A penny for your thoughts,

thank you for remembering my name,

thank you for holding my hands and 

thank you for showing me.

I am not alone.

2- I was trying to push away the lonely night.

I asked the dark night to take away my thoughts of you.

Please Gentleman Jack steal away her beautiful face,

please Gentleman Jack allow me to forget her kind and gentle voice.

Please allow me to know the silence of nothingness.

3- I held the Gentleman Jack whiskey and I remembered the taste of her neck,

I remembered her morning beautiful smile.

And I remembered, we knew love kindness.

We loved our coffee mornings together and our light conversations.

We loved our sea-side walks and she knew.

Love was precious, love was rare.

Tonight I drink the Gentleman Jack and I told the ghosts in the bar mirror.

She knew love is all we have and she made every second sweet and wonderful.

I believe she knew. I would need these memories when the darkness of life,

would steal away my kindness, my soul.
