Wow, what a lyric...maybe you swayed me, but it reminds me of Bradbury in his poetic mode, and of a lot of 20th century American poetry and prose. Really grabbed me and made me wonder once again why we always always write about relationships, desire and booze in popular song? Well, they do comprise the magic trio  Thanks Mark - I don't write much about those because I find I'm hard pressed to say something about them in a new way  This was definitely inspired by Bradbury - even beyond the title. One of my favorite sections of Dandelion Wine is when he talks about the magic in a new pair of tennis shoes and how it all leaks out by the end of the summer. Glad you liked it!
