For lack of anything better, here are some lyrics I wrote.
There's a yellow door in Cashel
Where a poor girl used to live
And I would visit her at eventime
To see what I could give
Because her face was like the moon
And her eyes they shone so bright
That even though the stars were out
They didn't show at night.
And then one day I came home
To find her standing there
She was dressed like Buddy Holly
And gold was in her hair
So we left the town a-twinkling
One warm night in June
And she danced beneath the moonlight
While I played a simple tune
The smoke rings from the chimneys
They never look the same
But that yellow door on queen street
All it does is fade
And while we both lit up a cigarette
I turned round to her
"May I kindly have this dance?"
She smiled, I was sure.
So I gently took her left hand
And started up a waltz
We got around the sun
But when we finished I was lost.
But life, you know it changes
There's people I forgot
We all tell our sad sad tales
In one gigantic plot
But that moonlit girl in Cashel
And that faded yellow door
One day I'll come back to them
And live forevermore
And then some lyrics from my favorite thirty second Beatles song.
Her Majesty 's a pretty nice girl
but she doesn't got a lot to say.
Her Majesty 's a pretty nice girl
but she changes from day to day.
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
but I got to get a belly full of wine.
Her Majesty 's a pretty nice girl
someday I'm gonna make her mine,
oh yeah,
someday I'm gonna make her mine.

Nice. :-)
that's great ken i love the stars part. And believe it or not but i drove through cashel when i was in Ireland:)
I once met a girl from brighton last year
who's hobby was swimming beneath the long pier
And every morning this trim little lass
would give me the pleasure of seeing her swim
Sorry you remind of puke and snot... in the best of ways
I miss you so much sometimes. :)
Really lovely. Really. I am also a huge fan of the stars part. And I love the part about the yellow door.
Keep it up.
that previous comment was me =)
