• RIP, Kris Kristofferson

    Well, I woke up Sunday morning
    With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
    And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
    So I had one more for dessert
    Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
    And found my cleanest dirty shirt
    And I shaved my face and combed my hair
    And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
    
    I'd smoked my brain the night before
    On cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin'
    But I lit my first and watched a small kid
    Cussin' at a can that he was kickin'
    Then I crossed the empty street
    And caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
    And it took me back to somethin'
    That I'd lost somehow, somewhere along the way
    
    On a Sunday morning sidewalk
    Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
    Cause there's something in a Sunday
    That makes a body feel alone
    And there's nothin' short of dyin'
    Half as lonesome as the sound
    As a sleepin' city sidewalk
    Sunday mornin' comin' down
    
    In the park, I saw a daddy
    With a laughing little girl who he was swingin'
    And I stopped beside a Sunday school
    And listened to the song that they were singin'
    Then I headed back for home
    And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
    And it echoed through the canyons
    Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
    
    On a Sunday morning sidewalk
    Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
    Cause there's something in a Sunday
    Makes a body feel alone
    And there's nothin' short of dyin'
    Half as lonesome as the sound
    As a sleepin' city sidewalk
    Sunday mornin' comin' down
    
  • Still Beautiful

    Listening to “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” It’s been approximately 54 years since the first time I heard it in my bedroom in a house that, as of last week, no longer exists.
