Ode to Slim the Drifter
by Bruce L. Thiessen
aka Dr BLT
slim the drifter
a city still cries for you
above the skyline
tell me
is that really you
you were just driftin'
as time went by
we didn't feel you
until you died
and now it seems it's
too late to cry
slim the drifter
I thought I saw you in the sky
slim the drifter
you lived life recklessly
there were many nights
you'd drink yourself to sleep
was life too cruel for you to stay alive
slim the drifer
I thought I saw you in the sky
is it too late to say good-bye
is it too late for me to cry
you did it your way
I'll do it mine
in some strange way
I feel you were a friend of mine
