On an ocean high and stormy where love tides change each day you see lonely hearts floating with broken sails and no escape and there's memories there calling from the churning waves of fate, and far away there's an old love to blame. There's teachers and there's students and there's lessons learned for gain but gypsies with no mercy leave fallen hearts in chains and the chapters of defeat are written on memory lane and far away there's an old love to blame. Sceret memoirs of pages filled with passion tear stained letters in a box made for shoes dreams inked on promise everlasting a river of words in isolation blue. There's a distant fire an old desire a deep eternal flame but a weeping wind keeps blowing and cold eyes hide the pain it's a strafing mind to gather and a hard thing to explain and far away there's an old love to blame. Secret memoirs of pages filled with passion tear stained letters in a box made for shoes dreams inked on promise everlasting a river of words in isolation blue. Celtrue20002E3B1G9 |

Loved this. Have you cut any records? Put any of this to music yet, if not, why not? Good writer, ethome. Marcy |
