Words of Love

 

(David Munyon / S.P. Standley

 

...we wrote this song in Nashville, TN... when the famous songsmith, Gene Gillespie was staying with us, during „The Dudley Avenue Stereo Debates“...

 

 

I was just a young boy on the boardwalk

Beach tar on my feet

My old friend Skinny Jason

Was lifting weights to the heat of,

 

Words of love, words of love, words of love

Words of love

Radio playin', everyone singing words of love

Words of love

 

We found a dollar under the old pier

When the tide was still out

One would wonder at the scene there

Two friends, silent shouts

 

Words of love, words of love, words of love

Words of love

Radio playin', everyone singing words of love

Words of love

 

Chasing distant rainbows we lost track of everything

All the worry wasted friends on a ship down the chain

I guess that's why we keep trying again, and again

Some days are perfect, just perfect

Like words of love, words of love

 

Chasing distant shadows we lost track of many things

All the worry wasted dreams on a ship down the chain

I guess that's why we keep trying again, and again

Some days are perfect, just perfect

Like words of love

 

Twenty years later in an avenue jungle

I turned my eyes from a taxicab window

It was Ol'Jason and his radio an' words of love
