“The Eight Ball”
©2021 Tom Deedy and Hugh Birdsall

You never do expect it
She takes you by surprise
You can tell it’s her
By the glossed-over eyes
She’s the one you used to drink with
Around holiday time
Always see her all alone
With someone on her mind
Doesn’t want to see you
Because you’re too kind
You remember every kiss
And all those crazy times
Behind
The eight ball
Long fall
Slow crawl
A phone call
From someplace forgotten
You see her as she was
As if you’re in a dream
A vision of such beauty
Like you never seen
You refuse to leave her
If you do, you’ll die
Not for a second
Not for ice nor fire
You willingly give your soul
Lay it on the line
When you close your eyes
And she holds you
Chorus
You don’t want to see her
Because she makes you laugh
And all the while you wish
You could free her from the past
And let her spirit soar at last
Escape emotions that never crash
Until they break like glass
And she sweeps them up again
"Where’ve you been old friend?
How’d you like to spend
The night or your life,
Out of the daily grind"
Trapped, Behind the eight ball
Behind the eight ball
