The West Pacific

It's a country music sort of day for me.

I can taste your kiss on my lips
And I’m wrapped around your finger tips
As I watch the moonlight dancing on your skin
Your green eyes and the sweet red wine
Go to my head girl every time
And I get drunk on you
I lose control and then
And here I go again

Chorus
I’m falling for you even though I know your only playing with my heart
Tomorrow might be hell
But a night or two of loving you is better than never at all
And I can’t help myself
So I’ll just hold on
I’ll just hold on
I’ll just hold on
Until your gone

Girl I know you’re a gypsy soul
And I’m just a stop along your road
And you hang around long enough to blow my mind
If I had a star for every scar
You tattooed on my heart
I could fill up the Oklahoma sky
So girl I don’t know why

I’ll just hold on
I’ll just hold on
I’ll just hold on
Till your gone

I look down at my cell phone ringin'
I see your name and I know what that means
But I don’t care
I’ll just hold on
Till your gone

Every time you leave I take it hard
Seeing you go just breaks my heart
But don’t care
I’ll just hold on
Till your gone

Your green eyes and that sweet red wine
Go to my head girl every time
But I don’t care
I’ll just hold on
Till your gone

We can drink liquor we can tell lies
we can make fun of each other and laugh till we cry
Sit and reminisce about that time
Isn't that what ole friends do
Isn't that what ole friends do
Come on over
pick your poison
grab me a twelve ill pay for it all when you get here
ain't no crowd
and we can get loud
but I'm too drunk to drive over to your house
we'll do it like we used to do
sit around get high and act a fool
we'll do it like we used to
We can drink liqour we can tell lies
we can make fun of each other and laugh till we cry
Sit and reminisce about that time
Isn't that what ole friends do
Isn't that what ole friends do
Come on over I got that fire
I already have one road up when you get here
Man you ain't tired
so come on out
Cause I'm to dry to drive to your house
we'll do it like we used to do
sit around get high and watch the tube
we'll do it like we used to
We can drink liqour we can tell lies
we can make fun of each other and laugh till we cry
Sit and reminisce about that time
Isn't that what ole friends do
Isn't that what ole friends do
the game is on eight
i got a freezer full of space
so grab your guitar
and bring your liver
let's see how much noise we can make
till the cops come
We can drink liqour we can tell lies
we can make fun of each other and laugh till we cry
Sit and reminisce about that time
Isn't that what ole friends do
Isn't that what ole friends do

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walk alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I,"You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, 'The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

A song for Darkesia ... who will always have a place in my heart. (I'm just not myself when you're away.)

Claire had all but given up
When she and Edwin fell in love
She touched his face and shook her head
In disbelief she sighed and said
In many dreams I've held you near
Now at last you're really here

Chorus
Where have you been?
I've looked for you for ever and a day
Where have you been?
I'm just not myself when you're away

He asked her for her hand for life
Then she became a salesman's wife
He was home each night by 8
But one stormy evening he was late
Her frightened tears fell to the floor
Until his key turned in the door

Chorus

They'd never spent a night apart
For 60 yrs she heard him snore
Now they're in a hospital
In seperate beds on different floors

Claire soon lost her memory, forgot the names of family
She never spoke a word again
Then one day they wheeled him in
He held her hand and stroked her hair
In a fragile voice she said

Chorus

Where have you been
Ive searched for you forever and a day
Where have you been
Im just not myself when your away
Im just not myself when your away

haven't listened to Loving in a while.
Here's another. :)

Come
And talk of all the things we did today
Here
And laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
Then I know that it's time you must leave

But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now
A quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

------ instrumental break ------

Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Go
And beat your crazy head against the sky
Try
And see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon

So darling
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
