Bar Stool Angel by Walter Jones

In a tavern in the beginning of time
a drunk and me did sit and think
Roll the dice to a place that spots
will stake eyes upon a lost drink
Every where a fool sitting on a stool
during fading carols lost in time

Who will open her arms in the
evening breeze taking evil under
a saint’s smile see pretty color life

Jimmy seeking a love for the night
so lonesome on this the Christmas
Joe sets them up for a song ship
captain crew and then a picture of you
Cards sent in the course of the pageant
as the words lent from book kept

Who will open her arms in the
evening breeze taking evil under
a saint’s smile see pretty color life

Golden letters leap from the page
as wise men search for the king of ages
Will new men seek the same
a bit of good wine to dance and live
in the dine

Who will open her arms in the
evening breeze taking evil under
a saint’s smile see pretty color life

Windows covered in the mist of love
lend the dreams of forever in a death mile
Who carries my words across the stage
that answers my hungry page to living now

Who will open her arms in the
evening breeze taking evil under
a saint’s smile see pretty color life

Water slips past the parched lips of a dreamer
on his bed to death ’s window gasping
Write the words to a view shared
only by a few starched-pressed cleaned souls
left to wander

Who will open her arms in the
evening breeze taking evil under
a saint’s smile see pretty color life

Walking contradiction of daydream believers
singing for the souls along the way burned in memory
Willing footsteps leave the mind in a heart
search for the candle light to the place of forgiven self
Mother cries in awe and pain, life is a given
death is a question unanswered and in the anger of day I cry
