06 Oct 13 - 11:39 AM (#3564704) Subject: Origins: Did I write this? From: Andy Jackson I'm sorting through loads of half finished poems and songs and came across this. I think I wrote it some years ago but my memory is not what it was. Does anybody recognise it? ************* How can I start to tell her A ship waits in the harbour, The moon is soft and low: My love she sits beside me, Little does she know That in a while I'm leaving, My destiny untold. And soon she may be grieving, With our love as yet unknown. How can I start to tell her, The things she needs to know. An Irish band is playing, A sad old tune I know. I wish that I was staying, It breaks my heart to go. And when again I'll see her, Well God alone can say, And I would gladly be him, If I could find a way. How can I start to tell her, The things I need to say. Will my darling miss me, And say a prayer for me? Then when the war is over, The day they set me free, At last I'll be returning, Will she be there just for me? Then I can start to tell her, Just what she means to me. A JJJ (????????) |

I think you wrote it, because it's too intelligent and coherant to be lyrics for rock music. I googled 'the moon was soft and low' and didn't find it. Your mysterious 'A JJJ' was probably a note for an additional verse: A jolly joint is jiving behind us on the quay.* The ammo is arriving and some of it's for me... * where I live, that's pronounced 'kee'. Just kidding! |

I read it and liked it but almost didn't believe when I turned the page and saw my initials at the end. (A JJJ) I hope I wrote it, but I like it anyway so I will add it to my repertoire as temporarily anon ! Andy |
