(For my sweet love Joanna!  ) Marimar By: Noah Eaton 9/15/02 Marimar, marimar I strum this serenade with my Spanish guitar I tread softly, sweep gently Sending an acoustic soul through my whammy-bar Barefoot on the sands of your desires Lighting the stars like a cigar There's a ghost of Ramon Montoya playing on the red roof Dancing in leather sandals filling the night with classical romantic youth Above where I draw a heart in the apricot sand I feel the warm rain run down your hair Taking me back to Maricastana Swallowed in your tango Rocking steady in loves tempo My sweet Munequita... We stroll, we stroll through the barrio Livening up the Spanish Harlem With bossa nova blues And I felt, felt the ocean rising You took my hand and sailed me away Through the heart of the Banzai Pipeline Tripping deep your precious lagoon There's a ghost of Ramon Montoya playing on the red roof Dancing in leather sandals filling the night with classical romantic youth Above where I draw a heart in the apricot sand I feel the warm rain run down your hair Taking me back to Maricastana Swallowed in your tango Rocking steady in loves tempo My sweet Munequita... And the night came quickly The habanero sun burning across the horizon Where I held you down on the beachside Suckling your lips like a fruity manzanilla I stared into your eyes in a candlelit marisqueria Overlooking the harbor over fish and mole Wouldn't it feel so good to jump out the window And be washed away to the paradise beyond our wildest dreams Out from this marquesina... On the riviera we stopped for the heladero Shared a cone of ice cream at midnight with you We picked up our toes and hopped together Everyday is a jarabe tapatio when I hold your hand down the warm avenue... There's a ghost of Ramon Montoya playing on the red roof Dancing in leaher sandals filling the night with classical romantic youth Above where I draw a heart in the apricot sand I feel the warm rain run down your hair Taking me back to Maricastana Swallowed in your tango Rocking steady in loves tempo My sweet Munequita... Marimar, marimar I strum this serenade with my Spanish guitar I tread softly, sweep gently Sending an acoustic soul through my whammy-bar Syncopating good times from my lungs Sharing private concerts with you underneath the flamenco stars... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (09-15-2002 07:52 PM).] |

Dear Noah, our musical friend strikes again with ballad such that it inflames desire in all who read it. I think one of your greatest gifts, Noah-Style, is your ability to direct feelings and ambiance into a living breathing experience in the reader. This is the BEST spanish ballad i have seen since Chris Isaaks. well done, Noah! jeff |

Ole' Noah!! This is sooooo romantic and the picture is sensuous and lovely. Makes me want to dance a tango - but I haven't any partner. Would Joanna mind if you shared a dance with me?  hugs, Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
