This sweater project is like my love for My Old Man - it just goes on and on and on. ;)
In honor of my fella, here are the words to his song, by Joni Mitchell:
My old man
He’s a singer in the park
He’s a walker in the rain
He’s a dancer in the dark
We don’t need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
My old man
Keeping away my blues
He’s my sunshine in the morning
He’s my fireworks at the end of the day
He’s the warmest chord I ever heard
Play that warm chord, play and stay baby
But when he’s gone
Me and them lonesome blues collide
The bed’s too big
The frying pan’s too wide
Then he comes home
And he takes me in his loving arms
And he tells me all his troubles
And he tells me all my charms
My old man
He’s a singer in the park
He’s a walker in the rain
He’s a dancer in the dark
We don’t need no piece of paper
From the city hall
Keeping us tied and true
No, my old man
Keeping away my lonesome blues
*sigh* I just love that song. And I just love My Old Man, the warmest chord I ever heard.
