She Sleeps Tight

Sleeps so tight
she has a marksman's eye.
Maker's mark
tattoo firewater spine.
Leather shoes
but nowhere to go.

Dice and coins
scattered in the snow.
Dice and coins
scattered in the snow.

Won't be long,
until I see her face.
She's waiting
in an undisclosed place.
I've been conspired
banned from my muse.

This won't stick
poor boy's all confused.
This won't stick
poor boy's all confused.

In Salem town
she keeps her chin so high.
Darkened breeze
she smiles as I roll by.
Step inside
she looks for tables left.

Wink at time
nothing lasts except yourself.
Wink at time
nothing lasts except yourself.

Like a Steamboat
she plans to roll on down.
To the Gulf
out of this dirty town.
Copper mesh
kept stuffed in a jar.

Sharp cold hit
turning wine to water.
Sharp cold hit
turning wine to water.

We know him
eye deed by his ship.
In a trap
a kind of goosechase trip.
Whiskey fumes
and stale gunsmoke.

Sunk and drowned
with all her knives and jokes.
Sunk and drowned
with all her knives and jokes.

Sleeps so tight
she has a marksman's eye.
Maker's mark
tattoo firewater spine.
Leather shoes
but nowhere to go.

Remember this one Will.

I share and send it out to my friends.

A wonderful song with a great melody,

sounds something close to Doors

and Jefferson Airplane. Amazing.

Michael

[Will Dockery]

Thank you, Michael... hope all is well, haven't heard from you in a long while!

[PhilDeeferSite]

It works out, can´t be over here so much

because it makes a stress reaction, dont

know why, the selling in the new company

went well. Done two weeks of ten now.

Best Michael

[Will Dockery]

[onewomanandsomesongs]

I really like this.....it has a nice 60's retro sound....very good job!  :) You did a good job with the video too.

[Benhallned]

Very nice all round,Michael, real ^60/70s type of sound, my type of song, Rabbie.

[Acridona]

A really "feel good" song and the mixture between the both kinds of art in the painted pictures is a perfect way to transmit the feeling of that song.

Thanks to Michael too, for giving me that hint!!!

[Barbara Hahn]
