Solace falls into the wrong hands tonight,
Moving like trees in the wind,

other than the wind at you feet
and the sky above your head?
...

I can tell by your cigar
and by your black hat
that you are a fine man.

Two young men straddling their hopes and dreams across their chests
Rocking out in silence in their rooms at night
Searching through their folks’ vinyl for retro tunes
And hoping that when they plug in their guitars
