Louise

wow I've been writing a lot of love songs lately....of course I have been listening to Springsteen and Joni Mitchell.....

If you've ever seen a firefly dancin' all alone
you've seen Louise
if you've ever seen a poor kid runnin' from home
you've seen Louise

If you've ever seen a renegade pleading to the sky
a hoodlum's blind daughter searching for the right side
if you've ever seen a letter tumbling in the breaze
you've seen sweet Louise

If you've ever heard a poet try to make a stand
you've heard Louise
if you've ever heard the prayer of a dying man
you've heard Louise

if you've ever heard a train that was never there
the pounding of your heart as you climbed her stairs
if you've ever heard anyone break, rise, or bleed
you've heard sweet Louise

If you've ever felt the light of a nameless song
you've felt Louise
If you've ever felt a rush against your restless palms
you've felt Louise

If you've ever felt the saints and sin collide
or the avenue burning, but refused to hide
if you've ever felt the sting, but found a reason to believe
you've felt sweet Louise
