[me_vs_thenoose]

here's to you...
rainy streets
starry starry nights
sunny walks in barefeet
here's to you...
blankets on the beach
oceans and lightening
the sand touching your skin

i gave the ocean some cabarnet
i blew a kiss to the setting sun
i gave my mouth all the better taste
and blew smoke in the face of boredom
so here's to you, living deeply out there

here's to you...
family and friends
tie the hands of time
evading any end
here's to you...
baby hours old
aging smile
hair whitening slowly

i'm an irreligious man
should i fail to touch your face
my heart never truly beat
if it didn't skip a few
and then race

this song made me sit in my living room, and play it over and over reminiscing about last autumn and the autumn before that. i loved the golden leaves on the brick sidewalks on my walk to work. i loved the way the streets smelled. i loved sitting in the candlelight with my friends talking about deep things and listening to ben create new songs on his guitar. i loved smoking cigars and drinking red wine. i loved discovering the pond in the woods behind oakdale square. i loved the first hint of the cold weather.
