Rick answered the wiffledust individual creativity assignment where he was given this photo, two names,  and asked to write a song.

Mason smiled at Claire though there were many years between them

She saw him holding violin and bow

She stood there transfixed with a child's anticapation-

That only childlike innocence can know

Mason had been sitting on the street for hours

Perfectly ignored by passersby

Just another old man fallen on hard times

No need to tip the hat or question why

(Refrain)

His life was all behind him

Hers was still ahead

The music joined the two in peaceful bliss

Such moments they surround us

Sometimes without us knowing

The magic trapped in moments like this

Claire stood there in wonder to hear the music playing

To watch the bow glide across the violin

Her eyes were opened wide as she did a little dance

And caused Mason's face to grow into a grin
(Repeat refrain)
