Blue Bird
had a dream
last night
you got up
outta that bed
gripped the walker
and walked right on out
outta that room
down the hall
straight out the door
and it felt so real
like that talk
we had just yesterday
when you were back
from wherever ‘ya been
and it’s been so long
since we talked
like that
laughed like that
and I wanna tell ‘ya
how unfair I think it is
how I hate seeing you like this
how I wish I could help you
how unbelievably brave I think you are
how I won’t forget how you were before
before they doped you up like that
drugs that make ‘ya think your mind ain’t there
I know you’re still there
today, tomorrow
I know you’re still there
and when they move ‘ya tomorrow
outta rehab to long-term
I’ll know you’re still there
