True passion never dies

Blues

Mournful Lou'siana brass sparks lamentation.
A wailing cornet cries his regret.
A young man's dream cast aside for duty.
Responsibility, they said, was nobler than fame.
Tonight, for nostalgia, he will play to the bayou.
Stealing off with a long lost lover
For one metallic kiss.
