and when a clear mind won't navigate
blades randomly swift and call it checkmate
and when I'll let the river flow my corrupted rate 
gracious brilliant, who'll investigate?

and a piano underneath the afternoon light seems to glum
looking for the finger who played while holding the rum
melodies were hummed as sweet as plum
underneath its cords was a broken bum

no one would devote and subdue
defamed thee and call it untrue
wasted tunes, never got its due
it's not that sad, it's just baby blue
