Sweet Soul Music
Pat Nolan

A flashlight of blood
see the light too late

the love line is open
but I get a busy signal

the new music is selling
something I’m not buying

hung out to dry
a bare scarecrow

my friends do me no good
I am my own worst enemy

looking for the original me
have I ever been found

poison keeps me alive
makes me feel good inside

outside hurts more
day after day

you ain’t got nothing
till you got something

utility (usefulness) done
what strange freedom

fortitude the cold
only more gravity

there is nothing here
no more any more

believe it’s true doubt
the wrong happy in-between

“only love can
conquer hate”
