We Were Looking For Four Leaf Clovers
We were looking for four leaf clovers
I found none
You found something like a dozen
I said this isn’t fun
Your grandpa did a magic trick
It blew our tiny brains
We’d dance to the beach boys
Inside when it rained
We’d cuddle underneath the blanket
Pretend we had to hide
From a giant mosquito
That would eat us mouth open wide
Ride the lawnmower together
Imagine us out alone
Free to roam the forest
That was our home
Now I’m living in the city
And you’re still where
The sap runs through the rubes
With your house and family there
I dream about it often
The home where you came back
The home where now you’ll never leave
No matter how the deck is stacked
We were looking for four leaf clovers
I got zero
You found something like a dozen
Take them with you when you go
Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 7+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
