The Band of Brothers: MP3s/Lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Note from Michael: This song started out as a simple tribute to one of my favorite beverages, and then took a bit of a left turn as it addressed the importance of slowing down and savoring the moment. Hmmm... maybe a cup of tea would be just the thing right now?

It’s late in the afternoon - the sun’s rising high.

There’s nothing to do around here - and if there was, well, I wouldn’t try.

Taking my comforts - taking good care of me.

Sitting down in my easy chair - taking a sip of my Sassafras Tea.

Now, wouldn’t you know it? There goes the phone again!

It’s probably just another wrong number - or someone trying to sell me somethin’ I can’t even see.

Well, I’ve got the solution, how to cope with this insanity -

Just sit down in my easy chair - take a big sip of my Sassafras Tea.

It’s getting near evening - the sun’s going down.

I guess I should shake a leg - climb in my car and roll downtown.

Check out the city lights - all decked out in a tux and a tie.

But I’m sitting in my easy chair - taking a sip of my Sassafras Tea.

Now, wouldn’t you know it? Here comes my neighbor Jim.

He’s got the willies and the worries on his mind -

And the weight of the world putting pressure on his spine.

Well, I got the solution - I know how to set him free.

I’ll set him down in my easy chair - and give him a sip of my Sassafras Tea.
