in winter..
.. it's like drinking black coffee trying to stay warm and keeping the cold out. the rain falls, the wind blows. some of you even get to see snow.in autumn..
.. it's a backyard in the suburbs, and hundreds leaves covering the green grass.in summer..
.. it's a night-time thing. out on the balcony (porch) with some beers and your friends.in spring..
.. it's the hope for a brighter day.Long Drive Home
Birthday
(words and music by Sam Shinazzi)
She said "Nothing's going for me here anymore
I'm going to walk through the front door
Kiss my family goodbye,kiss my old life goodbye
And I know it'll be a long time until I see her again
She's getting a new life, hanging out with new friends
Of course I am happy for her,
But I am sad for me.
You're twenty years old today
So how does it feel anyway?
Is it better than before?
Do you love your life more?
You're older than me
By eight weeks.
The universe still spins around and around
I was sure it would stop with you not in town
But it's turning,
And I'm learning.
Everyone moves onto something new
If I could change it I would but I cannot
It's too big for my hands
You're the only one who would understand.
There's not much else that I can say,
Except I hope you have a really great day
I'm wishing you could come over and play guitar
But anyway,
Happy birthday.
