Where are you now?

- I suppose I should start off with bits of commentary to add to the back story on this stuff.  I guess there's no particular order to it - I'm just digging through the piles, and reading, and when I find something worth sharing, I'll put it out there.
As for content, I think a lot of it can be explained by saying that I was once a teenager.  There, I said it, ok? Funny, it doesn't seem that long ago - those unsure times, uncomfortable, not knowing what to do, trying to understand what people expect, and why chicks are so different than guys, and all that stuff.  So, a lot of my poems and songs are about loneliness, break up, mix up, etc.  Hum, sounds like a lot of country music lyrics, eah?

So, this first posting is from about 1983 or so - expectations, reality - not so much in common. Standard theme in life, really, no? It started off life as a song - and maybe some day I'll play it.

Oh, and as for all of these - I'm fine with folks copying stuff, but do include my name as author.


Where are you now?

You said when I need someone, I'll I'd ever have to do is call, and you'd be there...
But where are you now?
You believed in what I'd hoped to do, when you were standing by my side,
Where are you now?
Now all my hopes and dreams, don't mean the slightest thing to you,
And in my time of need, you don't come shinning through -
Where are you now?

Once you said I'd have to fight to loose you, now you fight to keep away,
Where are you now?
All those moments we said were special, were they nothing?
Where are you now?
Now all my hopes and dreams, don't mean the slightest thing to you,
And in my time of need, you don't come shinning through -
Where are you now?
