    Spanish Eyes

    Lost and drowned, in lights and sounds
    She took pity, a stranger in her town
    She lead me out, somewhere to breath
    Sat me down, to comfort me

    In a world insane, trapped and drained
    She made me calm, worries waned
    And midst the heat, of the day
    She found my soul, showed her way

    Falling into

    Castile beauty
    Rescued baptized
    Possessing me
    Those Spanish eyes
    Possessing me
    Those Spanish eyes

    Museums maze, relics mislaid
    A misplaced guide, direction betrayed
    Her touch so soft, a glance to convey
    Where confusion reigned, peace now lay

    Long auburn hair, sun kissed skin
    Lost in her, the warmth within
    A fleeting moment, a dream revived
    Realmente hermosa, Spanish eyes

    Falling into

    Castile beauty
    Rescued baptized
    Possessing me
    Those Spanish eyes
    Possessing me
    Those Spanish eyes

    Falling Into

    New player in the cricket pavillion? Omage to a great? …Tricky lining up that rhythm pattern. Standing Ovation to the mixer. I reached for my fan and had a moment. I dug.

        I am too junior to have a senior moment! (wait, whoa up, what is the cutoff age?) As for dry,…dry? Dude I live in a coastal rainforest. I think the only place wetter is Kerry Co IE. I may have relatives there.

        Blink twice if you are being held hostage. I gotcha bro.

    You guys! You are a hoot. Interesting use of (I assume) finger snaps to replicate castinetas.

    @Fletch @stevep @JulieI I posted on Facebook that I really loved this one. It’s amazing how quickly the 3 of you can put new songs together.

    Fletch, I said itt before, You have a talent as a lyricist /poet, and I will again suggest you consider doing a coffee table book of your poetry/lyrics.

      Thank You Loraine…. 🙂

      I can’t really see my Lyrics/Poems selling that well… Just the ramblings of a confused guy trying to understand stuff… 🙂

        How many has SWR recorded? Even without knowing the exact number I am impressed.

        I have a book full of ideas and have yet to get a song written ready to record! You do regularly what I have YET to accomplish. Notice how I put in yet. I only know of one other artist with a catalog exceeding SWR. That catalog sold for 1/2 billion. Tell me in ’63 anyone saw that coming. so yep I am impressed.

        @Fletch That’s exactly what a great poet writes about — his own inner struggles. My favorite poet is Hugh Prather. His poetry, beginning with I Touch the Earth, The Earth touches Me was the best. It was such a refreshing poetry of his inner struggles and questions about things. I was given the book at age 10, which I’m sure was simply because someone didn’t vet the material as appropriate for a10 y.o. But it was such a relief to find someone’s writings and questioning that I could relate too. I understood the underlying emotion, anger , joy, sadness, happiness, etc. Poetry’s funny. It either sells or it doesn’t until you’re dead. A coffee table book is such a cool thing to find in homes. They often are ice breakers for discussions. I have a friend that I’ve been suggesting she put together a coffee table photo book with stories. The photos are of her and her husband posing with typically older hats or wigs together. They’re hysterical, and are fun to look at.

        Another option is a website that can either be affiliated with SWR. Simply title it Poetry or SWR Lyrics/Poetry, written by you. .
