leaves me cold

the wolf

the doorway glows an eerie iridescent blue
and the music from the other side calls out to,....
the time for living on,..
has come and gone

and where were you that humid summer night?
chasing an owl, or baiting a fight?
the hot air swirls around in a wash,
but you leave me so cold

the fedora rests on an empty guitar stand
the song plays and sings itself, using me as a vessel
the deal has been made, but why the look of concern ?
such a bargain, only costing me my soul

the old bluesman accompanies me on his harmonica
the notes played are off, but somehow sound just right
the demons dance in the dead of night
their black wings push the hot air around making it hard to breathe

I sing until my throat bleeds, copper taste on my tongue,.. done.
and where were you this hot summer night?
the devil's song played just right, hells fire in my lungs,..
but it leaves me so cold.
