sometimes around downtown
i think about him
i can't begin to understand what it's like
to not know how to love or sleep
and i'll never know
all of the things that came to be
and though it all seems wrong
it hasn't changed a thing
and he's been stumbling up to strangers
with some swell card tricks
that he made up
"i had a lot of women" he'd say
"you should have seen old rick back then"
in saigon, another lifetime
seen better days that were left behind
alongside friends who always find
their way from graves back to his mind
once you were 22 like me
but i can't speak a fraction of your truth
and slurred as is, you're beautiful
and i wish there was something i could do
there's no shame in where you're going
there's no shame in places that you've been
and there's no goddamn shame in
crying on your knees over the linoleum
i don't know much, i'm not here to judge
and there's nothing that I can say for sure
but when the bars close
i hope you find some peace and
you get home safely, sir.
