OL' BILL REDUX

I meant to be so much for you


but life got in the way

I got in the way


and nothing moved the heavens

or shook the earth


to the purpose of love

born of the faith that was supposed


to move mountains

I stupidly believed I was holy


when all I should have been was

empty and of purer service to you


all I became was Ol' Bill taken to you

in a hurry-home wagon because I couldn't leave


those downtown women alone....
