lyrics

We were walking down the road minding our own business
when the man came to take you away from me
They were making allegations that just couldn't be true
they were blaming you for things you wouldn't do

I was walking back to town
my nose was filled with begonias
and the scent was imprinted in my memory
I was pleading my case to get you free
couldn't make them see that you belonged to me

All along the docks on the dark side of this town
I was drinking door to door until they cut me loose
You were sitting in the jailhouse watching days go by
while the noose got tied on your way to die

It was a day like today when the crickets filled the evening
and the sweet smell of begonias washed this whole town clean
I was standing by the courthouse watching you swing in the air
when they kicked the chair and people stood and stared

about

Peter Fedofsky Seattle, Washington

Well, I'm in love with The Beatles, Brian Wilson, Nilsson, early Bee Gees, oh, I love love solo McCartney and The Zombies and etc. I record in my house and don't pay attention to having awesome gear or making everything picture perfect. I just want it to be 1965 again, so no need to get hyper about using the latest doo-dad or production flim-flam.

Let's enjoy silly pop music together, shall we?
