Overheard at Table 1: Song For Billie

For Billie

We have gone through the pain, dear
We have gone through the pain
We have danced in the rain dear
We’ve caught the midnight train

We’e had plenty laughs, dear
And we have talked until the dawn
We have closed down every bar
Drank every bottle til it’s gone

CHORUS
Black or white it don’t mean much
So and so and such and such
So many paths to walk upon
Right or wrong don’t struggle
Just miss me when I’m gone
Just miss me when I’m gone

We have watched the people fade, dear
We've seen others go astray.
We've seen some being led away, dear
Never to return some sunny day

We've played our music so loud, dear
For those with ears to let them hear
Our history has made us proud, dear
And that is the very thing they fear.

CHORUS
Black or white it don’t mean much
So and so and such and such
So many paths to walk upon
Right or wrong don’t struggle
Just miss me when I’m gone
Please, just miss me when I’m gone.
