Subject: Lyr Add: THE DOWNEASTER 'ALEXA' (Billy Joel) From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Jan 01 - 02:12 AM Aw, you caught me sleepin', Clinton. Actually, I couldn't get through most of the day due to ISP problems (Microsoft Network - grrrr....) "Downeaster Alexa" is a great song; and I like it more now, since I recently travelled that area. I don't recognize all of the place names, but the ones I know are on Long Island Sound. For $38 I took the P.T. Barnum ferry across the Sound in November - wondering if I was one of those who was "born every minute." There was a great view from the ferry, and it saved me a lot of nasty New York driving. The Downeaster "Alexa" (Billy Joel, 1989) Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa" And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound I have chartered a course to the Vineyard But tonight I am Nantucket bound We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa" I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa" Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa" I was a bayman like my father was before |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: down eastern alexa From: Barry Finn Date: 05 Jan 01 - 12:51 PM Hi Joe, it's a good thing you weren't on the ferry the other night, they ran agound on a sand bar & had to stay. The rescue boats couldn't get near them caue of the ice, they had to get an ice breaker & then pull them off. Then again there were reports that every one was kept happy on snacks & booze. Barry |
