The Jazzman's Lullaby #1A Poem by jasonaspraggins-song lyricsHis cigarette is burning, and his glass has just been filled. He looks down from the stage into a storm that must be stilled. Though tired and drunk on whiskey, he exhales a smokey sigh, then picks up his guitar and starts the jazzman's lullaby. He strums the chords of longing, and he sings words of despair. The melody has peacefulness that calms the frenzied air. Through drunken eyes, he sees the crowd; his spell can't be denied. soon every soul's enchanted by the jazzman's lullaby The night is growing older, and his song is near its end. Their minds are lulled into a trance;their hearts are his to mend. He knows the drink will kill him, but he's not afraid to die. He takes a sip and starts again his jazzman's lullaby
