In a distant world of darkness
far from the home town girl
in the midst of foreign oceans
there's a lonely soldier's world
where the pen of love stops talking
when a promise turns untrue
and far away there's isolation blue

Chorus:
Memoirs of pages filled with passion
tear stained letters in pockets full of truth
dreams inked on promise after action
a river of words in isolation blue

There's night skies lacking moonlight
when a lover loses face
and a soldier can get buried
in the dirt inside his veins
and the chapters of defeat
are written with ancient rules
and far away there's isolation blue.

There's a lover's fire an old desire
a distant fading flame
where wayward winds keep blowing
cross an icy memory lane
and the brightest leaves of Autumn
become colors of the truth
and far away there's isolation blue.

Memoirs of pages filled with passion
tear stained letters in pockets full of truth
dreams inked on promise after action
a river of words in isolation blue.

"Memoirs of pages filled with passion

Learning you're no longer loved is devastating even when you have the luxury of going home to cry and scream... To lose what matters most when you're already in hell is so much worse.

Beautiful, poignant work!!

Superb words as always sir and I can even hear your guitar in the background as I read.  It has been far too long since I have been able to enjoy your songs but always worth the wait and always worth the visit.
