Forgotten Place

[Sailorsong]

Here is anothe rof my song lyrics. Enjoy!

Forgotten Place


When I close my eyes
I can almost feel the peace there
With the smell of salt in the air
And a girl with long brown hair
Standing there

This was a time and place
That in my heart I remember well
Far from the city where I dwell
That makes me fell like I’m in hell
Take me back
Want to go back

Head north of Frisco
Off the beaten path
Down in a hollow
Along the ragged shore
IS this magical place
A forgotten place

A place I still recall
Where people do not flock
With the roar of water falling on rocks
While laying there taking stock
In my life

The warmth of the sun on my skin
Yet cooled by mist from the waterfalls
Now I’m stuck behind forbidding walls
Far from nature’s calls
But you know yourself
You want to be somewhere else

Head west of Ashland
Up into the mountains
Just take my hand
I’ll show you where
Is this magical place
A forgotten place

I’ve thought of going back
To these remarkable places
But have they been spoiled by man’s traces
As my mind wonders to those places
I’m wondering
Does their magic still ring
Head with me out west
The places I could show you
Where a heart feels its best
Would you feel what I do
In this magical place
A forgotten place
A forgotten place

The music for this song is a Folk style heavy on the guitar riffs.

I have actually been back to both places before I wrote this and both have been ruined to an extent by man. They are  forgotten places because people have forgotten the beauty of the spots as they use to be.

The first place is Muir Woods just north of Frisco. When I first started going there when I was 16 you almost never saw any other person or any sign of them at the beach. Since then I have been back when visiting family and you usually find all kinds of trash left by people on the beach.

The second place is about 1/2 hour from Ashland, OR. It is way out of the way with just a small picnik area next to the road. When I first found this place you could swear that no other person had seen it before as you have to climb down quite a steep hill to get to the waterfall. The last time I visit my brother out in OR we went there and they had placed a memorial plack right next to the waterfall ruining the view. Why didn't they place it up at the picnik area instead?

They won't be that forgotten place as long as you carry them in your heart.  

Thanks for sharing - I'm wondering what genre of music this is  - rock? country?  folk?  I can't put your words to a reggae beat though..  :-)
