Bruce Markow: Music

I live in old Saint Louie and my name is Louie, too. I learned my lessons in my ‘68 Ford. It’s a real humdinger and goes where I want to.

Each day I get to heaven, though sometimes I feel so blue. When I’m draggin’ I sit right down and say to my maker as I say now to you:

Isn’t it strange?
No doubt!
Isn’t it love that life’s about?

My best friend’s name is Lucy and she lives so close to my heart. All I’m given I give to her. The love that’s arisen just goes where it wants to.

Autumns we go drivin’ all across Missouri. In the cover of darkness we sneak in each yard, plant some tulips and giggle ‘til they pop through.

Isn’t it strange?
No doubt!
Isn’t it love that life’s about?

Ev’rybody’s hustlin’ to make a little scene. Ev’rybody’s musclin’ to get on in. What does it take to open your heart and give it away?...

So when you’re in Saint Louie Lucy and I want to see you. The door’s always open. You’re welcome here. We’ll go for a spin and sing you a song of love.

Isn’t it strange?
No doubt!
Isn’t it love that life’s about?
