lyrics

BEAUTIFUL PICTURE

She sits in her window seat sipping her coffee for one
Her white cat beside her reflecting the rays of the sun
She looks to the garden, and puts down her saucer and then
Picks up her paper and sighs as she picks up her pen

Her skin is like honey, her golden hair framing her face
The light pouring in turns to golden her dress of white lace
As she readies the letter she’s only beginning to start
It’s a beautiful picture except that she’s breaking my heart

I know now I should have told her
Everything that I was thinking
All the times I missed her in the dance-
One too many times away
And all the things I can’t unsay
And things I would have done had I the Chance

She finishes writing and sits for a moment alone
She thinks of the past and memories of things that are gone
Her tears on the pages are drying as it’s getting dark
It’s a beautiful picture except that it’s breaking my heart

about

Beowulf Kingsley Grass Lake Charter Township, Michigan

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
