The
Saxophone blew its wailing gasp,
The skinny singer soared to tell
How right before them from the grasp
Of fading love a sad girl fell.
I looked, I
saw, could not ignore,
The tragedy upon that floor -
For I had once been like that guy -
I'd almost let such loving die...
So should I
speak amidst the shriek,
Explain to strangers' dull disdain
How raw emotion's tragic leak,
Ignored like that would bring such pain...
Down the
old Victoria one Christmas time so long ago,
I'd sat with friends, a stranger came, drew me
aside said did I know?
That girl of yours if you ignore her any more she
may explore
Some other options may arise, some other guy may
charm her more....
But this
was not the same event
And so I took my own girl's hand,
The cast and stage were different
We kissed and stood to watch the band.
