lyrics

It was hot, of course it was hot, it was the summer, I was drinking a beer but I was still feeling sober, all the heads in the room turned when you walked in through the door, and I said to myself I swear I've seen this women somewhere before.
Some folks sat on the grass some sat in the shade, but baby we danced as the jazz played, the sweet sound of the surf the soft feel of the sand, the drunken kisses the moon glow and the hand in hand...
you were wearing your wide brim straw hat, and the calico dress that fit you the best with your brown hair all down your back, I remember it was two summers back when I lost my heart to the woman in the wide brim straw hat.
strange thing about love is it only lives where it's born, and the strange thing about women is they're never very happy for very long, so you went off, said you had to find yourself in this dirty world, it's typical behaviour for a little girl...
I lost it all to the woman in the wide brim straw hat...

about

Kipp Kocay Winnipeg, Manitoba

With a passport ruined by red wine and an anthology of Rimbaud (of which he's only read one or two poems), Kipp Kocay sings songs about all the women he's never met and those hours that dance between the sun.
