Day 17 of fun-a-day 2015.
Inspired by "Snowball" by Louis Armstrong

lyrics

Late July
And it's darkening outside
While the bulbs dangle lightly from a string
Look in my
Empty glass and shake the ice
While I listen to your mesmerized voice sing

Don't give up
There's a moment in your rut
When you wake up and you suck up
What you need
Float along
Find the motive in the song
When you write your words down wrong
Say what you mean
To me
Chasing pennies in a stream

That was strange
Could've sworn I heard you playin'
In the basement with a banjo and a bass
Passin' out
On the cushions on the couch
I'm trailing off: I can't remember what to say

Don't look up
There's a spider in your truck
And you swerve and now you're stuck
In the creek
Just your luck
To be on course and get lost
To be perfect and fuck up
Before you leave
Oh, leave
Chasing pennies in a dream
