I love it. There...You won me with that first verse.<br />I love it. There are some parts of my past from which I keep hoping the sun will "dry me loose."<br /><br />The other line I loved was:"The thing about the future is, that it's so uncertain." This is all too true.<br /><br />It took me awhile to get the "sock monkey." I'm kind of like where is Shay going with this one until I really studied the picture.
