Beth

Jeseppi Trade Wildfeather ©9/2/99

late one night
at nicki’s place
danced with an angel
put a smile on my face
had rosey cheeks
and a mission of love
lighting down
like a turtledove
beth beth beth beth

concentrated
life in her eyes
miraculous lines
make a dead man rise
teaching dance
set a soul free
animated
fluidly
beth beth beth beth

so many years apart
this cherub from heaven
stopped my foolish heart


left mc cartney
back in liverpool
to the poconos mountains
to dance in a school
to a fiery cab
as divinity
just come and gone
like a wave in the sea
beth beth beth beth

so many years apart
this child from heaven
stopped my foolish heart

surrogate daughters
coast to coast
a few bright few sons
of whom i boast
this cherub came down
with celestial force
calibrated
right on course
beth beth beth beth

so many years apart
this child from heaven
stopped my foolish heart

now i been trvelin
in hazardous way
gonna strengthen my lines
gonna tighten my stays
when an angel comes
need to praise
the host of heaven
in glorious ways
beth beth beth beth

so many years apart
this child from heaven
stopped my foolish heart
