Faded Jeans

FADED JEANS  (c)2013 John Meisel, Hamilton, NY

An afternoon tune.


C9

A kettle whistles honey tunes

Fmaj7

As spices fill the air

C9

Places set with painted clay mugs

F C G

Sunlight on the woven wicker chairs

Hey there, stranger, how ya doing

Are you having an enjoyable day

Yes I'm fine, thanks, all is well and

There's something I want to say

Some will look at puddles and see reflections of the sky

Some will run out shoeless, never waiting for the world to dry

Raindrop ripples make their way to lap against our muddy toes

Concentric circles spread like growth rings

D

Seasons marked by trees that grow

I've a pair of faded jeans and I don't think that they're mine

Grass-stained jeans with holes like smiles that have grown

with you through time

Out of the very same old pile of clothes

Crawled to me of its own accord

Was the very same old t-shirt it's been too long since you've worn
