BRUCE MARTONE Poems

OH WE TOOK ANOTHER WRONG TURN
AND WE KEPT ON GOING
NOT KNOWING WHERE IT WOULD END
EITHER WAY WE WEREN'T GONNA RETURN
...

Oh mama, mama she my guilding light
My dream come true tonight
And yes I wanna marry her
I'm think she'd say yes
...

I'M STRANDED ON A ONE WAY ROAD
I'M WEIGHTED DOWN
WITH MY FAITH AROUND MY NECK
AND MY DREAMS IN MY POCKET
...

SHE WAS AS PRETTY AS A ROSE COULD BE
AND SHE ANSWER TO NO ONE
SHE WAS JUST SO FREE
AND KEEPING TO HER SELF
...

there are many night's i lied a awake
just thinking about yesterday
and how things were different for every one
because there songs got heard
...

Oh bobby fix his harley
and took mary for a ride
taking along there dreams
and saying there prayers to.
...

THERE ARE NIGHT'S I SIT ON MY FIRE ESCAPE
LISTENING TO THE SOFT SOUNDS OF THE CITY
AND COUNTING THE STARS THAT SHINE
SO BRIGHT
...

THERE AND OLD SWINGING BRIDGE
THAT STANDS SO TALL
BUT SO FREE OVER THE WATER FALL
THAT SWINGS WHEN I WALK TO THE OTHER SIDE
...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IF YOUR TOLD YOUR NEAR THE END
AND WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
OR DO YOU JUST PRETEND
...

I LOST MY JOB MAN AT THE LUMBER YARD
THAT'S WHEN TIMES GOT HARD
YOU SEE I GOT A LETTER FROM THE BANK MAN
THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE MY HOME
...
