St. Francis's Bar& Grill (Original #76) Brad Campbell

Good to be back near hi-speed, thanks everyone for thoughts and calls and I'll up date as I know whats happening (you'll probably see it..lol..) thanks again

She's looking for him in the bar; clapping her hands to the rythm the crowd makes.
Gabriels up by the stage-see's all the horns up there-and gets up to play.
Billie sheds her skin-and begins the serpentine dance
She says when I get older, stronger and wiser I'll come back for you....

Down at St. Francis's Bar & grill

They're like the light and dark, its always the same way, the same dance.
The dark gets their fist, the light comes chasing after it.
By the time it arrives and shines its light into the room
The drk already left and the light is hot on its tail

Down at St. Francis's Bar & Grill

She caught up to him when she realized they were on the same road.
Different destinations, different methods, but the same hold.
She said "You lapped me-I must have been sleeping south of town.
I'm older, stronger, wiser-and I've come back for you now.

You wander into hate...and sing about love.
They throw you out of town, you never get mad, just move on.
I don't understnd your songs-but you seem to understand.
You always give and love and bring light to everyone.
WHy do you bother she said?
He said "I'll keep roaming and playing for all to hear,
Hoping that one day, someone will hear.

As they rise to leave, what do they hear, enter stage left the Holy Ghost and a guitar appear.
He said "I got a song the both of you should hear before you leave here.
He played back the songs the wander had wrote for the crowd sitting there.
Billie doing her dance, and the wanderer left out the rear.
