lyrics: mostly Jim, but Special thanks to Barb Malone & Ben Steager
Ripples in the water pond
Secret movements underneath the
Surface leaves me wondering
What life holds that I can’t see or
Touch and call my very own
When it’s here I rarely know it
But I miss it when it’s gone
Drives me crazy, then I blow it
Four daiquiris down, the numbness seems to ease the pain
I’m four daiquiris down, the laughter echoes in my brain
Four daiquiris down, it’s a night to put this day behind me
Four daiquiris down, and I’m floating in my sea of pity
She was once my hearts desire
She was Eve and I was Adam
Held her hand and walked on fire
Touching, breathing, scented passion
Followed her wherever she went
Lost in blissful footsteps worshiped
Parting pathways came and went
Watched her go and fell so low, now I’m
Four daiquiris down, I think I’m gonna keep on drinking
Four daiquiris down, It’s the only way to stop this thinking
Four daiquiris down, There’s a party here and we’re all singing
Four daiquiris down, And the truth inside my head is ringing
I could have loved her for the rest of my life
I saw the family pictures, her as my wife
They say that dreams are what we’re all living for
But now my dream is gone
And left me in a state of shock
Breathing used to be so easy
Counting seconds on the clock
Minutes pass like hours and I’m
Dazed and don’t know what to do
Sidewalks turn to painful memories
Turn my eyes to something new
Hide the pain and keep on going
(Repeat : 2nd chorus, then 1st chorus)
