Killswitch Engage - Rose Of Sharyn


Numb and broken,
Here I stand alone,
Wondering what were
The last words I said to you
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way
To turn back time,
Can I turn back time?
What would I give to behold.
The smile the face of love,
You never left me,
The rising sun
Will always speak your name.

Numb, i'm broken
Here i stand alone.
Wondering the words,
The last words i said to you
It won't be long
We'll meet again...

What would i give, to behold
The smile, the face of love?
You never left me
The rising sun
Will always speak your name

It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting.

I mourn for those who never knew you
I mourn for those who never knew you

It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting.

It won't be long, we'll meet again..
It won't be long, we'll meet again..
It won't be long, we'll meet again..
It won't be long, we'll meet again..

Jud Strunk - Daisy A Day


He remembers the first time he met her
He remembers the first thing she said
He remembers the first time he held her
And the night that she came to his bed

He remembers her sweet way of singin'
Honey has somethin' gone wrong
He remembers the fun and the teasin'
And the reason he wrote her this song
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away

< They would walk down the street in the evenin'
And for years I would see them go by
And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore
Could be seen in the gleam of their eye

As a kid they would take me for candy
And I loved to go taggin' along
We'd hold hands while we walked to the corner
And the old man would sing her his song

I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away

Now he walks down the street in the evenin'
And he stops by the old candy store
And I somehow believe he's believin'
He's holdin' her hand like before

For he feels all her love walkin' with him
And he smiles at the things she might say
Then the old man walks up to the hilltop
And gives her a daisy a day

I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away

I was thinking about posting that one.

How about the territory band of Phil Baxter’s, whose orchestra toured around the hotels in the OK/TX region, who made this recording:

“Down Where the Blue Bonnets Grow” (1929)

Re: Wildflower by Skylark

Excellent! Beautiful song. But, IMO, that’s not the best or original version of it by Skylark. The one heard on the radio is better.

I think this is it:

Wildflower - Skylark

She’s faced the hardest times you could imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears

And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears

And a sorrow no one hears still rings in midnight silence, in her ears

Let her cry, for she’s a lady
Let her dream, for she’s a child

Let the rain fall down upon her
She’s a free and gentle flower, growing wild

And if by chance I should hold her
Let me hold her for a time

But if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden, to be mine

Be careful how you touch her, for she’ll awaken
And sleep’s the only freedom that she knows

And when you walk into her eyes, you won’t believe
The way she’s always paying for a debt she never owes

And a silent wind still blows that only she can hear and so she goes

“Down Where the Blue Bonnets Grow” (1929)

Haven't heard that one, but the title is appropriate for a band performing in Texas.

Hope you get some decent rain. we had a bit of a shower at 8-ish pm, but didn’t do much in the way of relieving us of having to water. Cha-ching! sigh

[radu]

Thanks. We sure do need it! I’ll probably water flowers again tonight because the wind today leeched it dry again after last night’s watering.

They’re under flash flood warnings tonight north and west of us and we’re parched. Crazy weather this Spring.

Sort of like us. South and East Texas have floods and all sorts of weather. We’re dry as a bone. Well...not as dry as it was 2 years ago when we got less than an inch in a whole year and huge water restrictions, but we were hoping not to have to water so much.

"Red River Valley" - Stevie Nicks & Chris Isaak

As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
And the love we exchanged mid the flowers
