Nightjar

Straight out the side door and away it went
Gone like caution to the winds
All my devotion, all my good intent
Not worth a sigh Lord when it ends

Walk the red light with a lonely child
Count the rainbows in her eyes
And hear the night bird when it cries

All plans abandoned like the old Wild West
So as I end I will begin
Curled up beside her and I made my nest
From broken promises and skin

Walk the red light with a lonely child
Count the moonbeams in her hair
And watch her vanish in the air

Go pin your heartache on the storm enraged
Go hang your pride out on the moon
We'll place a violet under every page
And honey-pie, I'll be there soon
So soon
