about

This one was inspired by winter walks through the park and the streets of my city. A bit tongue in cheek.

Did you ever have your heart broken so much that it brought you back to life? Sober. Over. Anything that would take you…over.

So now I walk these streets daily. Through the park and back out onto the streets passing a plethora of restaurants and coming across
the occasional bronze statue of a business man or an artist painting the oncoming traffic. These days you rarely see a smile on someone’s face, or even a frown. Most people have acquiesced to the muzzling of our God given facial expressions. So all I can do is imagine that the woman is smiling at me as I catch her eye. I smile. She can certainly see that I am, with my flirting glance. I pretend. I dream. I walk on by in a relaxed Burt Bacharach kind of way.

lyrics

Break The Record

Break the record for the
Falling in love with strangers
I walk the streets imagining
The smile behind the mask

Don’t bring your queen out early
Don’t put that girl in danger
I’m the worm that gets the bird
All you rooks and pawns

Swing by the park see
All the pretty ducks on the pond
The skaters on the Sunday rink
Go ‘round and ’round

My heart it gets so full of love
You know it could explode
But I just keep on moving
Back on to the city road

Break the record for the
Falling in love with strangers
I walk the streets imagining
The smile behind the mask

I saw the two approaching
I caught her ice blue eyes
As he was in another world
I swear I heard her
Sweetly sigh

Break the record for the
Falling in love with strangers
I walk the streets imagining
The smile behind the mask

Don’t bring your queen out early
Don’t put that girl in danger
I’m the worm that gets the bird
All you rooks and pawns

If I can’t dream
I’ll lose my mind

Break the record for the
Falling in love with strangers

Don’t bring your queen out early

If I can’t dream
I’ll lose my mind
