I went to a party last night
it was all foggy and cold outside
so I was glad to find the place
like a hide-out from the dark
and be surrounded by love and by light
there was this guy
his name was Robbie
who came from Tennessee originally
and could play the guitar quite beautifully
he would start picking the strings of an ukulele
very softly
and wait patiently
for people to see
that he was trying to tell a story
about life's beauty and glory
when more and more
started to pay attention
to his singing
I felt like joining in his swinging
my eyes were in awe
about the passion they saw
my heart in bloom
listening to the fashion of his voice
how nice the choice
of the tunes he played
the stars and the moon must have been delighted
all shade was gone
a gloom shone
and was carried
throughout the livingroom
I thought, hey! this guy's gifted
and a sudden shift of warmth drifted towards me
he was wearing neon-green shorts
since it was an 80s party
I could feel
that his message was real
but there was something sad about it
as if his heart wanted to shout out loud
what he couldn't tell:
I'm lonely as hell!
I miss my family as well
the other night
I stumbled and fell
and nobody was there to talk
I could barely walk home
maybe I had fallen on the dome
cause I was all dizzy and stuff
but you know, I'm a tough guy
and don't want to be shy anymore
so I decided to change
and start searching for someone to care
for someone who would like to share
some hours with me
so I came here and started playing
hoping someone would hook me up
or at least befriend me on facebook
So, there I was
reading his heart's desires
and thought: man, you're hired!
I send him a message today
I wrote something like: hey
thanks for the show
you made my night
if it wasn't for you
who knows
there could have been a fight
I guess, the moonlight
wouldn't have been shining so bright
everybody had a really good time
beer and wine was served just fine
but you were the cherry that sweetend it all
I enjoyed your presence very much
and would like to give you a call some day
here's the deal:
maybe you could teach me some of the chords
you played
I could tell you some German words instead
don't want you to be so lonely
over the Christmas holidays
talk to you soon,
now cheerio and
ho ho ho!
he replied minutes later
and I was like: there you go!
