I am siting here
surrounded by four
walls. I think back to
Anna Marie and of
days gone by and
Billy Bayou comes
to mind also. We
were friends, close
amigos until it finally
came to an end. I had
said that he’ll have
to go for I wondered
in my lonesome mind,
am I losing you. After
I knew that I was losing
you and even though
dismayed I rode through
a blizzard to say adios
amigo to Billy. I guess
I’m crazy because I
thought that I’m gonna
change everything.
I won’t forget you,
I guess this is it.
I keep wondering
is it really over?
Like a snowflake
in the desert I am
melting and don’t
know if I can hold up.
I hear distant drums,
but I’m on the blue
side of lonesome for
I know I’ll never find
another you. I won’t
give up, but don’t have
much hope. You were
the one and now you
are gone and probably
have already forgotten
me. That thought crushes
me, I know now that the
last word in lonesome is me.
