Brad's Heavy Wool

Verse 1

Heavy wool

The buckle snapped under his thumb

Brad stood by the river bend

Waiting

He let it slide down

Cold grass biting at his knees

Pale skin

Bare

Chorus

He dropped it on purpose

Dropped it on purpose

Just to see what would happen

Just to see who would look

Brad dropped his kilt in the glen

Brad dropped his kilt in the glen

Verse 2

Dust rose

Dave stepped from the thicket

A shadow tall and wide

Surprise

Shock on his face

Brad didn't even blink

He stood

Boldly

Laughed at the sudden sight

Laughed at the red in Dave's cheeks

Laughed at the silence between them

Chorus

He dropped it on purpose

Dropped it on purpose

Just to see what would happen

Just to see who would look

Brad dropped his kilt in the glen

Brad dropped his kilt in the glen

Bridge

No words spoken

No words needed

No words left

Dave froze like a statue

Pinned to the mud and the moss

The wind started howling

The water kept rushing

Everything changed in the clearing

Verse 3

Run away

Dave turned on his heel

Bolting back through the pines

Running

Brad picked up the plaid

Pinned it tight to his hip

Grinning

Walking home alone

Walking home with a secret

Walking home in the rain

Chorus

He dropped it on purpose

Dropped it on purpose

Just to see what would happen

Just to see who would look

Brad dropped his kilt in the glen

Brad dropped his kilt in the glen

Outro

The wool is heavy

The glen is quiet

Dave is gone

Brad is laughing

Still laughing

Just laughing
