Baggy Jeans and Memories
Baggy Jeans and Memories
Plucked a rainbow from the sky
crammed it into my pocket
not sure what good it was
this hazy sunshine locket
Caught the scent of dew wet grass
inside an empty jug
and on those lonely arid days
would take a hearty slug
Stole a glistening spider web
cuz he could build another
hung it on the chandelier
to scare my little brother
Took the music of the woods
stored it deep within
when troubled by the city’s streets
I’d let it out again
Touched the hello of the sun
its warmth at passing noon
felt its dimming into dusk
awakening the moon
Plucked a rainbow from the sky
left the pot-o-gold
plucked a rainbow from the sky
and then I let it go.
