PENNY BOY
Penny Boy's Winter Tale: Embracing Moments in Bronzy Air
Lyrics
you sat idle in your bronzy, brilliant air
You remained motionless in your metallic, shining atmosphere.
a thousand passed and never saw you there
A thousand people passed by without noticing you.
but my gaze was always fixed upon the ground
Although I looked down, my focus was always on you.
and I picked you up and brushed you off
I lifted you from the ground, dusted you off, and decided to keep you.
and kept you, penny boy
You, penny boy, became my cherished possession.
you sang and jangled in my coat all day
You made musical sounds in my coat throughout the day.
as I guess your stories circa ‘98
I imagined your stories from around the year 1998.
and there’s nothing of that winter I would change
I wouldn't alter anything about that winter, where we held hands in my pocket.
holding hands inside my pocket
Inside my pocket, we, me and penny boy, were connected.
me and penny boy
there are still some things that my pen just can’t write
There are emotions and experiences my pen cannot capture.
im suspended in between my thoughts at night
I find myself suspended between my thoughts during the night.
but when I awake it’s cleared up by the light
Upon awakening, clarity arrives with the light.
illuminating that frustrating
That light reveals the frustrating but amusing nature of penny boy.
funny penny boy
glad my gaze was always fixed upon the ground
I'm thankful that my focus was always on the ground.
glad i picked you up and brushed you off and kept you
I'm grateful I picked you up, dusted you off, and chose to keep you, penny boy.
penny boy.
