You Never Said… Lost my shirt under your bed Those beige pants turned me on You never said a goodbye Not even a so long That salty sweet taste of your body Did nothing for my sanity Just a moment, a touch of the dare How it ended I don’t really care That last kiss in the rain, And once again I was gone You never said a goodbye Not even a so long You won’t find me in any small town Unless you keep a light on And these cold nights are empty Oh, I miss those sweet sighs Now all I’ve got is this salty song, As I breathe in slow and long Now your words don’t caress my nights It’s just an empty box of light… You never said a goodbye Not even a so long You never said a goodbye Not even a so long… You never said it was a goodbye.

Theres a light that blinks on the top of the arch 24-7, does that count? ROFL(hey, you started it)  Well you dont need a shirt...just that cowboy hat and your guitar so you can sing this and make us swoon.  Love the melancholy melodics here P-man. and the "imagery" You never knew what I loved in you, |

I’ll keep the light burning To guide you to my side I’ll keep my heart waiting Arms open wide Patiently I’ll search the stars For a sign from you I’ll listen to our song To help get me through These lonely nights they haunt me Nothing aches more than this Sweet handsome baby I’m longing for your kiss |

Well a kiss of the Blarney maybe or a kiss of luck from an Irish lass even better... |

dg, did I leave one under your's too... lol Well I'd hate to get the color wrong cause women are so sensitive about that... They sure fit well though... Sunshine, well only the empty box of light part hurts.  Now how would you know I meant every word of it.... Actually it was just an abstraction of reality... isn't that what we poets are supposed to do, and besides the song I was listening to was sad so thats where this went. Parker |
