Canby Woman Blues

You drove off before the snow came
I didn't know then but it was the end of the game
The snow and me...we put out the flame
Nobody else can take the blame

Now it's all gone
The curtain's been drawn
As I watched you drive on
Into the Portland dawn

Some of that time was so sublime
And again I'm stuck on this ol' rhyme
Futilely trying to turn back time

Sure is. That's good stuff.

Wow, you were a poet and I didn't even know it! I think that your words should be put to music... would make a great song.
