palmetto

i came to the 'studio' tonight with the intention of finishing an idea i'd started yesterday for baldersnatch. as i was tossing around some notes for a harmony on alex's casio i slowly began to just start a new song. could end up a b-snatch song. time will tell.



her face in the candlelight
walking through the woods at night
you know I want to tell her
she's got more soul than, I've seen ever

she taught me not to settle
her skin smells like an old palmetto
I kiss her cheek goodnight, that's my style
and walk back to the car, reading my pocket bible
