I was walking home one night
A funny sight I saw
One man dressed all in black
Singing old Blues songs
His fedora was high and shone with pride
his sunglasses ne'er removed
I thought I'd seen him somewhere
Down in Baton Rogue
I regarded him quite closely
As he put down his black suitcase
And headed for the pond
Where ducks would play and chase
But on this night
Dark and full of gloom
I thought something wasn't right
With the man in the suit
Intrigued with his presense I followed him there
And on the bridge he sat
Dangling his feet in the water
As he took off his hat
He looked very sad and I wanted to cry
As he stood and leaned against the railing
His tears welled up as he tried to resist
Mine and his own efforts failing
Hot water spilled down our faces
And still I dared not inch
I wanted to run to scream to yell
And then the poor man flinched
Something drew me towards him
A message in my head
And I felt I could not leave
Until it was said
I gathered all my strength
Enough for both us
As I walked up to the shuddering man
I swear I heard him cuss
"Oh shit" he said in a deep deep voice
a voice chalk full of pain,
"What am I to do with out you?
Why can't you live again?"
I tapped his shoulder
softly with grace
and he jumped and looked at me
I pulled him into an embrace
"Fear not dear Elwood"
I whispered in his ear
"Jake has not left you,
for he's still in here"
I took his hand putting it over his heart
and he staired in a shocked array
"Excuse me ma'am" he said quietly
"What did you just say?"
"I think, dear Elwood,
we were meant to meet
so Jake could tell you
not to admit defeat.
You have a strong heart
and a life to live
he doesnt want you wasting it
on account of him."
"But i miss him so bad"
he said with a pout
"So much sometimes
I want to scream and shout."
"You'll see him one day"
I said with a small smile
"Not just yet though
Live your life Its worthwhile."
He gave me a smile
that was so very grand
and then he grinned and said
"Hey wanna come see the band?"
And we walked off into the sunset
Even though it was quater past three
Myself with a new friend
And him with me.
