The Voice Of McLean. The Ghost.

 

(A lone voice whispers) 

In the middle of it all

Before I took the greatest of falls when I heard God tragically call

I know I stood tall and held your soft hand for a brief while

As we listened entwined 

As Prince sang in background

In Montreal

And for billions of seconds and even millions of minutes

The Sun seemed to shine brighter everyday

In every conceivable way

The sky with you around

Always seemed bluer than blue and that's why 

I'll never forget you

For you were my destiny

My truer than true

A diamond amongst the dirt

Who tried to consoled me

When everything seemed 

To just hurt

A soft voice to soothe the pain of living

For you were so beautiful inside and out

And so giving

But like all things linked to true love

Once found and cherished

Death is so unforgiving and tragic

so I died and a deep part of me

Linked by pheromones and spiritual magic

On that fateful day started to always cry

A lone voice 

Wailing

I can still sometimes hear in the silence

Especially in the low hours

For when the violence and commotion in your world sleeps

I can hear that connected piece of my soul 

As it quietly weeps

There will never be another like you

A treasure in the dark

An ark of love and surprises who gave me such exquisite pleasure

So keep smiling wherever you are

For I know you will draw the crowds 

For such is the brilliance of your divine charisma and light

Goodnight my only love

Your man in the window

Always watching 

As his life wallows in limbo

In here

The Great In-Between

Where we the dead 

Live on

Just parading unseen
