We've Drifted Apart (1981)

We've drifted apart
There's nothing we can do to make it right again
We could tie a bow into a knot
We have once again drifted apart
We have once again drifted apart
We have once again drifted apart
My God, there's nothing we can do to mend a broken heart now
We have once again drifted apart

I love you I know
I leave it up to you my dear to stay or go
If I thought I needed someone new
I would never say that I love you
But I do

We have once again drifted apart
We have once again drifted apart
My God, there's nothing we can do to mend a broken heart now
We have once again drifted apart

Stick 11 (short version) -by- Jess for Bottles of Mary ~AMBIENT~ soundscape and guru-fied liquidity experiment with aquarium fish in various states of higher consciousness and interactive lucidity. STEREO.

Original underlying recording is 1983 analog, just guitar and some odds and ends things at hand. A couple of boom boxes, a screwdriver, some duct tape, and an imagination could do a lot back in the day.   more...And so... Another moldy oldie dredged out of the cassette tapes of times past! Pre-Bottles of Mary, but every bit as appropriate for Bottles's thematics.

I had to remix it to restore some sound quality and enhance some subtleties - for what good it did, lol BUT, it's fun to revisit the new old ones too.

Lyrics below...

Is There A Need To Feed The Fire? - music/lyrics June(c)1983

I don't know what's going on
How can the world last so long?
Don't know whether I'm dreaming or I'm dead
When the weather wraps rains around my head

The universe burning bright
Who will be the star tonight?
Is there anyone willing to be free?
I hear the angels calling - "Follow me"

I still have dreams at night
And I feel the waters cool and bright
Cascading down from mountains high
Oh why is there a need to feed the fire?

These crazy times are fast
I don't see how the world can last
There's a glorious blaze above the sky
And the words of Jesus saying now is the time  less

a lo-fi love song

My Saying Goodbye - May 1983

My Saying Goodbye

How can I justify
My saying goodbye to you?
It was the only thing   more...
That I could do

I guess I had to go
But girl I did not know I'd need you so
And I apologize

For all those lies
That I kept deep inside
And my disguise
When I said that love could be unkind
Oh why?

Unkind
Oh why?

I thought that I could live
Without the love you had to give
But honey that was what I missed
Most of all
And now my love is true
And now I really need you
Woo-dee-doo
I really need you

And now the tear drops start to fall
Because I need you more than ever before

I guess I had to go
But girl I did not know I'd love you so
I'd love you so
I love you so  less
