Sea of Heartbreak

For Nico Star.

I love you so much girl.
I am sailing on this Sea of Heartbreak,
waiting for your beacon
to bring me back to shore.

I am looking and looking-
peering through this fog of lies
and self deceit,
waiting for you to come back
home to me.

This Sea of Heartbreak,
has washed me out
farther from shore.
without your love there is no
lighthouse for me.

Sea of Heartbreak

by

Don Gibson


The lights in the harbor don't shine for me

I'm like a lost ship adrift on the sea

SEA OF HEARTBREAK lost love and loneliness

mem'ries of your caress so divine, how I wish

you were mine again my dear; I'm on this sea of tears

Sea of heartbreak

Oh how did I lose you oh where did I fail

Why did you leave me always to sail

(on this)

SEA OF HEARTBREAK lost love and loneliness

mem'ries of your caress so divine, how I wish

you were mine again my dear; I'm on this sea of tears

Sea of heartbreak

Oh what I'd give just to sail back to shore

back to your arms once more

Oh come to my rescue oh come here to me

Take me and keep me away from the sea

this sea of heartbreak.

SEA OF HEARTBREAK lost love and loneliness

mem'ries of your caress so divine, how I wish

you were mine again my dear; I'm on this sea of tears

Sea of heartbreak

This is an awesome old country/rockabilly song from the 50's. For some reason I am into old timey country like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers and singers like Don Gibson. My Dad also loves country music, except he likes a lot of the newer stuff. The only country music I like are the classics, especially early 20th Century country.

The first time I heard this song was during the opening credits for the awesome directed by and starring Clint Eastwood movie called Heartbreak Ridge. I really detest most of the films made today but Clint is one of the best directors of my (kpr's) lifetime. He has made some of the best military movies of the past 20 years. The one western he directed and produced, Unforgiven, is absolutely amazing. There is a great 2 disc special edition of Unforgiven that I recommend you netflix or pick it up the next time you are at the video store or wherever you get movies to watch at home.

For Nico Star.

Notice my awesome Fishbone shirt that was given to me by the lead singer back in 2001 when I roadied for them at Toads Place. He actually gave me two of them but I gave one to my drug addiction counselor at the time who was this awesome African American dude. I thought that was rad since the fish is smoking a huge fat joint! He had seen mine one day when I wore it for an appointment, when I told him I had an extra, he was stoked. Apparently he is a big Fishbone fan.
