Charcoal on A3 Mixed Media Card "Homage to The Piano Man" Why do Billy Joel songs make me want to cry, A lump forms in my throat, and I let out a sigh. I could be in a shop or passing a radio on the street, And I hear: '...always a woman to me' and a tear rolls down my cheek. I don't know if it's the melody or a memory I've suppressed, But each song is like, a melancholy caress, About how far I've come, And what my life could be, But before I get too depressed, I know Vienna waits for me. 'Slow down you crazy child' is advice I could've used, Billy, If only I'd sat back with nothing to prove. 'But I never give out, and I never give in', and if I've learned anything, About truly living, It's about finding your 'song' to write. Because we're all in the mood for a melody, And you've got us feelin' alright. Helen Leigh
