Song I wrote in 2003 about a soldier trapped in action in a foreign country and finds out through the grapevine he's lost his true love back home. Sad I know, but happens.... Isolation Blue 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. music link http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=200127 true love never looks after it's own interests |

Words are true blue, Eric, song sounded great. The Dear John has probably be instrumental in more than a few self-inflicted deaths in the grim and sludge of an insane war. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Yep, you're right Jerry, it's a hard hard long distance love affair. However, that's how it is so I thought I'd write about it. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |
