Lela's Song |
In the dark avenues of a Southern town Lela wanders carefree, a poet of life She's a telephone operator at the VA hospital And a caretaker of souls She's been there and lived it Survived abuse In the dark avenues of a Southern town You'll find Lela On the edge of life a saint in dark clothing Among the downtrodden and the forgotten She saves souls writes poetry And prays that she can live by the beach In the dark avenues of a Southern town You'll find Lela She loves the ocean has raised fine kids Traveled the world an Army brat Yeah she's there now Riding the trolley bus with a Hank Williams impersonator That's Lela In the dark avenues of a Southern town Lela wanders a free spirit a religious lady She's been there done that Escaped abuse and hell's road And she's saving lost souls A guy in a wheelchair eighty three who abuses his wife And wants to make war She's helping him In the dark avenues of a Southern town There's Lela She's a street angel with her feet firmly on the ground A wisely sage a prophet A good shepherd guiding the fallen Back to salvation's land Lela this is your song Copyright © July 26, 1999 Michael David Coffey |
