Joe's Harmonica
He sleeps now, so quiet With a blanket over his bones His tongue dry, and ulcerous And shivering under the cold blows
His painful memories taunting him even in his dreams He has no break from life it seems
Night rules over dawn Though as Joey sees The adults, fight and scream And argue till their lips bleed
He whistles the nights away Unable to tell, from a day to a day The tunes he blows Makes him once happy and unafraid
Keep strong, he plays Keep strong o' Joe
The music dies... when he leaves the room When luck and fate draw the final card The colour will fade... when he leaves the room
