Episode #060 – “On Holiday”

We can see some sights
Talk for hours at cafes
If we stay up all night
We’ll siesta in the shade
Don’t plan for anything
Gonna ride the river’s flow
Down at the pub they know

Strolling along the shore
To see what we can find
Seashells and creatures from the brine
Anywhere we go is fine
We’ve got time
We’ve got time…..
We’re on holiday… (3x)
Follow the sun down to the sea

Do they envy us
Little bride and groom atop the wedding cake

First steps feel unsteady
Never really ready enough
For us
And the changing days/ways of love

Swam in sacred lakes

With my feet on the ground

Episode #069 – When Summer Leaves Town

She leaves in September
And though I know that she’ll return
This town shuts down till Springtime
Like it’s got no fuel to burn
It’s a lonely sort of feeling
Cold coffee, bittersweet
It moves in like a storm front
Blows the sand across your feet
WHEN SUMMER LEAVES TOWN
