Hello Folks,
The idea for this lyric-poem came from having a cup of coffee one rainy evening in a small cafe on Reseda Blvd in Tarzana. As I watched the rain dribble down the window next to where I was sitting, it put me in a kind of trance. After I had jotted down my initial ideas on a few napkins, I realized I had to run to my car to get my notebook. In the process of working out the following flow of consciousness, I soon found that my lead line worked better as the chorus, which was the magic section that started it all off. I hope you enjoy the result. Memories of You Friday night's stale glare C.D.'s blast and blare Cars whiz by like phantoms through the air Not finding peace I swear Not finding hope or care Time flies... still, I see you everywhere City lights, city sounds, city sights Helpless, lost in memories of you Misty night, sipping rounds, sitting tight Trying to drown my memories of you None were ever better lovers Mates of the soul, best of pals Never a thought of any others What were the doubts not worked out Sleepwalking moments of my lifeline The up's and down's, in's and out's of chance Couldn't dream you'd be stuck in my mind In that unreal, unlikely haze, romance City lights, city sounds, city sights Helpless, lost in memories of you Misty night, sipping rounds, sitting tight Trying to drown my memories of you Drizzled rain streaks the glass I'm viewing Bright colors fade to shades of gray Forgetting exactly what I'm doing Lost in a lonely hearts parade Jack T. Leyton 2000 I've got a music demo of this floating around somewhere. When I figure out how to work this whole computer electronics facebook system, I may post it as well. Stay Well, Be Safe Jack ?✌️
