Beaches of the Heart

Down in the groove
with trouble in mind
the band throws down
beats in double time
to justify the love
the painstaking hours
of Michelangelo on a
rock pile swinging a
nine pound hammer while
the Archangel Michael
sings the blues
like a rolling stone
sans blue suede shoes
foot loose nothing left
to lose and nothing comes
for free and old whores
never smile meanwhile
the powerful play goes
on so what will your
verse be make mine
a song for beaches
of the heart
