(This is a ballad I wrote visiting the enchanted city of Tralee in Ireland, personally the most beautiful city to me in Ireland. I already loved the city, then knowing of William Pembroke Mulchinock's song which inspired the annual beauty pageant "Rose Of Tralee", it kind of left a bittersweet vision to me, knowing how I desire to find my love so much and creating my own ghost of a true love there that I could never have and I got this song deep in me.) Tralee (Never Could Imagine) By: Noah Eaton 7/25/03 Last summer I met her at the fair Aquamarine eyes and turkish-chocolate hair Must of seen double-vision in serendipity There in the Garden of the Senses of this silver city Never could imagine would come this day Never could believe it could ever be taken away... But Tralee When I leave you behind, will you recognize me When I come back kneeling beneath your balustrade? And Tralee I only hope if she forgets me That she'll find somebody Within your crystal gates Who can make her feel at home... I learned how the rain can elate with heaven I understand now of the heart to commit She still is the superstar at the Siamsa Tire Where I used to see her every Friday evening Never could imagine seeing vales so green Never could imagine endlessly dreaming To the point where my heart is bleeding... Tralee When I leave you behind, will you recognize me When I come back kneeling beneath your balustrade? Tralee I only hope if she forgets me That she'll find somebody Within your crystal gates Who can make her feel at home... I still see you passing me down Princes Quay I still hear your laugh at the steam railway I still feel Brandon Beach call out your name You're still on my mind everyday... After church Sunday I headed to the Jeanie Johnston Thought about staring off upon the ocean Knowing nothing lasts forever and its not my fault And there's no shame in admitting that at all Still I never could believe love can feel so delicate And I never can doubt love will return and welcome me in... Tralee When I leave you behind, will you recognize me When I come back kneeling beneath your balustrade? Tralee I only hope if she forgets me That she'll find somebody Within your crystal gates Who can make her feel at home... Make her feel at home... Promise me, promise me, promise me You'll make her feel at home... Make her feel at home... Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story ***Shakira*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (08-07-2003 11:59 PM).] |

Oh, Noah, this is so beautiful. I would love to hear it to music, too. I wish I could hear it now. We've missed you so much, Noah. I'm glad that you got to visit Ireland, but I'm really glad that you're home.  Hugs  Ethel |

Noah...You have such a way of bringing music into your words, without even hearing the tune...you have melody. I love this! |

Noah, may a woman as loving and with as pure a spirit as yours, come into your life and give you the love that you so richly deserve. This was an exceptionally fine piece of descriptive and emotive writing. I enjoyed the forward that you wrote. It gave added meaning to ballad. Linda |

Oh Noah, there you go again, such heartfelt words that are oh so pleasing to the mind and eye, which just makes me wish that I could HEAR it as you meant for it to be. Make some recordings for us and sale them...I will buy one. always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |
