2x2 Two by two, me and you 200 records of rock, rhythm & blues cherry red roaster hummin' in the driveway looks like another golden California day Two by two, we happy few chasing Santa Ana Winds down the avenue open up the ribcage of every polluted day kiss me hello after I've been lost in the fray Sparks fly, you and I, tell me every lie you believe in and I'll try, by and by to be the one you'd believe in One on one, starting gun shoot me a grin across the rising sun stylus tattoo my arm with your grace next to an angel and John Lennon's face Sparks fly, you and I tell me every night you believe in and I'll sigh, glide on by to be the one you're believing in All life's promises stacked up like cars at the red I've got diner napkin songwriting I'll read to you in bed these moments I am finding me these moments I am feeling free and we'll walk the beaches of the moon, two by two me and you Two on two, me and you 200 synonyms for your eyes of blue strawberry redhead girl come what may you're the shine in every golden California day Sparks fly, you and I tell me every lie you believe in and I'll try, time gone by to be the one you believe in Tell me every hand the world has dealt you again and again And I'll try to be the one you could believe in "Don't mistake paradise for a pair of long legs." -Watts, Some Kind of Wonderful |

An enjoyable read, worthy of a song. Enjoyed the images and feel. Thanks for sharing. I also liked the napkin bit. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |
