Our kingdom’s gonna be this little patch of green
September 22, 2019 by 17 Comments
Well, the sun’s not so hot in the sky today
And you know I can see summertime slipping on away
A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turning red
But the grass is as soft as a feather in a featherbed
So I’ll be king and you’ll be queen
Our kingdom’s gonna be this little patch of green
Won’t you lie down here right now
In this September grass
Won’t you lie down with me now
September grass.
Oh the memory is like the sweetest pain
Yeah, I kissed the girl at a football game
I can still smell the sweat and the grass stains
We walked home together. I was never the same.
But that was a long time ago
And where is she now? I don’t know
Won’t you lie down here right now
In this September grass
Won’t you lie down with me now
September grass…
~ James Taylor, from “September Grass” (Album “October Road” 2002)

I always wanted to be the kind of woman James Taylor would sing: I feel fine, anytime she’s around me now to. “Something in the Way She Moves.” You know that song.
Don’t you wish someone wanted to sing that song to you?

Lori shared it. I can’t let it go. A cover of Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey.”
And a Youtube comment from J. Scott Hamilton that followed: “your voice tells us you’re a great singer. Your daughter’s smile tells us you’re a better dad.”
