Vacation Alone By Richard Maxfield 6-8-2000 I just took a trip To a distant shore To let my cares fly away Bother me no more I took this trip alone With no one at my side Face the fears inside of me No where they could hide You see I find myself The first time alone Haunting silence of my house It once was a home I could have chose a Lady To take on my trip Fake smile on my face A coin I could flip I meet a couple of Ladies We had a little fun All the time knowing She is not the one The eastern trades blowing Under the shade of palm Crystal waters sparkle Peaceful still and calm As I swam among the coral With fish colored so bright A peace of me was missing Something was not right The ocean was so beautiful Turquoise turned to royal blue But something was still missing What it was is you Dancing to the Latin rhythms Beautiful ladies at my side The fear creped up inside me No where I could hide Though the lady was gorgeous And oh so much fun There again I knew She was not the one I’ve had the one for me Is there number two I shall keep my fake smile What more can I do Some day I shall find her Or maybe she’ll find me Love joy and happiness A wondrous life we’ll see Until that day arrives I will keep on keeping on Looking for that Lady To make my house a homeBirth sign: Gemini
