Waiting for Brenda - 4th July

4th July and not a star is in the sky
It's cold here as hell and I prefer it
Solstice is gone and you've kept moving on
To a place where sparrows sing
but not on purpose
Pack the portrait of your face
and extra one in case
You don't meet any friends
there in the summer
What you bypass you keep so
don't lose any sleep
Sitting on a train without remembering

If you feel coincidence reveals
A better chance at happiness than fate
Let your future decide where your fortune lies
Don't get stressed by the use-by date

Just a step away from a boring Saturday
In a skivvy that you borrowed from your brother
They were your row of pearls but she had longer curls
The jeweller said don't be so sentimental
Move to the same house over on the south
The art deco is back up now for rental
Choose to say hooray so hello to happy days
Ring the bell and you circle through the garden

If you feel coincidence reveals
A better chance at happiness than fate
Let your future decide where your fortune lies
Don't get stressed by the use-by date

4th July and not a star is in the sky
It's cold here as hell and I prefer it
