Roller Skating In Deep Sand
I know it's time to play my hand,
oh I'd love to be your man.
You're the Venus of my dreams
you're a rockin romance queen.
You're as special as each day
in the sun or in the rain.
You're a soft and gentle dove
you're the reniasance of love.
Chorus:
I'd like to say the things I feel
but my tongue is tied my lips are sealed
Gettin nowhere's where I am
like roller skating in deep sand.
I know I'd love to stroke your skin
I'd love to kiss your impish grin.
You're upbeat a spinning wheel
you're the gamble that turns real.
You're the topping on the cake
the sweet frosting I can taste.
Like a flower's scent in the breeze
I'd like to smell you close to me.
Chorus:
I'd like to say the things I feel
but my tongue is tied my lips are sealed.
Gettin nowhere's where I am
like roller skating in deep sand.
Ah my tongue is tied...
I wish I could have you by my side
my lips are sealed
I can't say what I want to say.......
I'm trying to skate in deep sand t'ward you...
i love this poem
Great song! hope to hear it on the radio someday :)
Clever, Eric, a joy to read. It reminds me of the lyrics by an old band called Golden Earring in their ska days. You did a great job, piling one sweet image on top of the next. Ken
My Secret River
Eric, The title drew me right in, so clever! I wanted to bring my guitar over to the computer and sing these words while trying to figure out a happy and bouncy strum pattern and chord progression for this (key word there is trying, I still don't play very well but I keep at it!) :) I love the bouncy feel of this poem and that title just kills me with its cleverness.
