penny and me

the lyrics have always been inspirational to me
their music brings with it countless images of mixed feelings
knew about them way back in the (very) late '90s
they are still around, gone indie with their own label
the freedom allowed them to develop their own style of music
and they have not failed to deliver

here's selected lyrics to just one of their songs
hope you hear it the way i do

Verse 1
Cigars in the summertime under the sky by the light
I can feel you read my mind
I can see it in your eyes
Under the moon as it plays
Like music every line
There's a rug with bleeding dye under the fan in the room
Where the passion's burning high
By the chair with the leopard skin under the light
It's always Penny and me tonight

Verse 2
On the plane step up with both my feet
Riding in seat number 3 on a flight to NYC
Got my bean in a coffee cup next to my seat
Catch the view and another good book to read
Sending me home on the friendly skies
Missin' her eyes
It's always Penny and me tonight

Verse 3
Staring at a million city lights
But it's still Penny and I all alone beneath the sky
Feel the wind brushing slowly by
If I could soar I would try, to take these wings and fly
Away to where the leaves turn red
But no matter where I am instead
Singin' along to feelin' alright
We're makin' it by in the pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight

Bridge
Penny likes to get away
And drown her pain, in lemonade
And Penny dreams of rainy days
And nights up late by the fireplace
And aimless conversations bout' the better days

Hanson - Penny and Me

someday, i hope to be able to write and compose like them...
