Bluebird — Photo-artistry by kenne

He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulderWell, it might have been a bluebird, I don’t knowBut he’d get stone drunk and talk about AlaskaThe salmon boats and 45 below

He said he got that blue wing up in Walla WallaWhere his cellmate there was a Little Willy JohnAnd Willie, he was once a great blues singerAnd Wing & Willie wrote him up a song

(They said)

“It’s dark in here, can’t see the lightBut I look at this blue wing and I close my eyesAnd I fly away, beyond these wallsUp above the clouds, where the rain don’t fallOn a poor man’s dream”
