Table For One Please

The steak is cooked to perfection.

The cosmopolitan delightful and giving me a buzz.

The man with his guitar crooning James Taylor is soothing.

Happy people around me, smiling and laughing with friends and lovers.

It's cozy here, in the corner, as I watch the cold rain pelt the window.

It sounds perfect, doesn't it?

So, then...what the hell's the problem?

An empty heart, a lonely night and as always...a table for one.

@Elevatorpitches I will listen when I leave. Too noisy here right now.

@LadyBronte most people are polite and then never listen to anything I post

LadyBronte · 56-60, F

@Elevatorpitches I actually did listen to it. I'm not ovely polite anymore. Long ovation at the end was well deserved. But I've always wondered...is there such a thing as tomato wine? 🍅 Can't imagine.

@LadyBronte Even the old folks never knew
Why they call it like they do
I was wondering since the age of two
Down on Copperline
Copper head, copper beech
Copper kettles sitting side by each
Copper coil, cup o'Georgia peach
Down on Copperline
Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
Leaning heavy on the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on Copperline
We were down on Copperline

One Summer night on the Copperline
Slip away past supper time
Wood smoke and moonshine
Down on Copperline
One time I saw my daddy dance
Watched him moving like a man in a trance
He brought it back from the war in France
Down onto Copperline
Branch water and tomato wine
Creosote and turpentine
Sour mash and new moonshine
Down on Copperline
Down on Copperline

First kiss ever I took
Like a page from a romance book
The sky opened and the earth shook
Down on Copperline
Down on Copperline
Took a fall from a windy height
I only knew how to hold on tight
And pray for love enough to last all night
Down on Copperline
Day breaks and the boy wakes up
And the dog barks and the bird sings
And the sap rises and the angels sigh, yeah

I tried to go back, as if I could
All spec house and plywood
Tore up and tore up good
Down on Copperline
It doesn't come as a surprise to me
It doesn't touch my memory
Man I'm lifting up and rising free
Down on over Copperline
Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
I'm only living for the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on Copperline, yeah
Take me down on Copperline
Oh, down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
