lyrics

I was strolling home one morning
and the sun was mighty friendly
her solar lips tenderly kissed my left cheek
as the breath of breeze gently caressed me
suddenly a younger teen of twelve or so,
face swelled with hope rode intimately adjacently,
on his bike, he fought timidity blatantly as our eyes caught,
then I defined the cause as to why his ride was paused
he quickly inquired, "have you seen a twenty on the sidewalk?"
At first I'd thought "I've seen no bill" but then I figured
"what the hell, he'd never write me in his will
but write me off as swell, well, I'm sure he will!"
I said "Chill, friend, buddy, chum, you're still in plenty luck,
I handed him the Jackson headed twenty bucks
i complimentarily fished out of my shorts
he cocked his head to me and sure revealed the gleam of his now confident teeth so pure!
He seemed relieved to say the least that Id returned
the green then expressively he returned the glee the
he'd returned the way he came to me.
I continued onward my homebound path
feeling grand that I'd handed the lad the cash.
I had nearly arrived when excitedly I had spied, surprised
the twenty that he had tried to find, I let it slide into my wallet
and I thought regardless of if Id found it, I'd have found
that it always pays to be kind.

Deeply vivid/introspective lyrics populate this ambitious folk rock project. The arrangements span from mellow/minimal to rocking and grandiose. Consistently emotive, unique and sincere. Brilliance. AllOne
