I don't write 'Story Songs' very often. This one's a deadly serious fictional tune that's likely way too close to realities that we all have, sadly, encountered in some form. If you've ever lost someone firsthand - a loved one, friend, or just watching or reading about these tragedies that occur all too frequently each and every minute of the day - you understand. Choose Life. Seek Help. Don't Give Up! If you know of anyone dealing with suicidal thoughts and tendencies or depression, intervene or help them find qualified community and/or medical assistance. Prayers and thoughts for all who know or have lost anyone this way. www.crisistextline.org/textline/?gcl…QgoaQodyLYCwA
On Such A Fine And Sunny Day © - Original
Riff Beach - RiffWerx 2016
Found alone in what we thought was his happy home
We wondered how things ever got this way?
Pills helped him through the pain, the snow and the rain
Dark days could change his talk to shout
That must have helped to ease his blues on out….

We later discovered exactly the kinda’ life he led
The day Doc retrieved a bullet from his head
Bloodied and slumped across his desk
Why Lord, he left one great big mess
On such a fine and sunny day

Chorus
He sure seemed older than thirty-three
Yet, acted younger than he appeared to be
Lifelong dreams and big, bright plans
Well, they all slid right through his hands
As we learned - one fine and sunny day

Bridge
You see - Sonny - became his self-appointed name
For that his parents took no blame
Nor, for the darkness that dwelled within
That had clouded his life way back when
He was but a young boy then

Sonny was quiet, never much to say
Maybe, a reason for what happened that sad day?
When Sonny decided to go astray
To another place so far away
On such a fine and sunny day………..
(Back to Chorus and Out)
