about

She was just passing through during a rainy winter.

lyrics

Your hands raised high across your face,
ecstatic in your secret place.
If I could only have a taste of what you bring.

An ocean seems to separate
the union of our common fate.
Our reservations dissipate into the sea.

My lonely castaway, lost at sea.
The current drags you where you ought to be.

Your books stacked high, your magazines,
your laugh lines and your vivid dreams
affect me like a symphony.

Your sexiness is no mistake,
the happiness for which you ache.
I promise I could never fake my feelings for you.

My lonely castaway, lost at sea.
You may find yourself swimming back to me.

Tomorrow is not yours to see,
you move like aristocracy.
I’m living in your fantasy.

If you’d just smooth my fears away,
if things could be like yesterday,
I’d simply let you have your way with me right here.

My lonely castaway, lost at sea.
Morning may find you where you ought to be—with me.

He lived in Venezuela as a teen where he became infused with Magic Realism, which has served him well. Jeff now lives in San Francisco where he dreams of pop stardom and putting his daughter through college. Lots to think about. ... more
