SALT HAY

Lyrics.…..Cricket Cohen
Music.......Mark W. Costoso

Was bright eyed and looked good and caught the groove of his day
Smart enough to build a reputation, make it last and make it pay
And so today a perfect antique house with his antiques throughout and
In the garden salt hay

His beautiful wife here with his collection
After 10 years, chooses to walk a different aisle, she no longer makes the connection
Two decades younger than this man, the man with the empty smile who puts
Salt hay in his garden

CHORUS
He met success in his early years
And now in his garden he puts salt hay

People sometimes can conquer, can conquer the gloom
Lonely years with too many seasons Now after refinishing the bedroom
Once again, he doesn't question his reasons and covers the ground with his salt hay

CHORUS

With business as usual at his antique shop, he remembers the past as a series of successes
Relatively good life leading to his Hampton spot
The old golden retriever no longer chases birds and cats running through their lot
Squirrels hiding in the garden with no traces beneath the blanket of salt hay

Tonight, he takes out his antique silver soprano sax
Sounds of melodic improvisations soak up every surrounding tree
And passers by will hear some magic, the magic he still holds
But he is alone now, alone with the sound he breeds
Like the earth and its solitary, solitary moon shining
And darkened sky reflecting on the salt hay in his garden

CHORUS
