Ode to Slim the Drifter

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
