Just had to get this out of my system

Red Rubber Ball

I should have known you'd bid me farewell.
There's a lesson to be learned from this
and I learned it very well

Now I know you're not
the only starfish in the sea.
If I never hear your name again
it's all the same to me.

And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

You never cared for secrets I'd confide.
For you I'm just an ornament,
Something for your pride.

Always running, never caring,
That's the life you live.
Stolen minutes of your time
were all you had to give.

And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

The story's in the past with nothing to recall.
I've got my life to live and I
don't need you at all.
The roller coaster ride we took is
nearly at an end.
I bought my ticket with my tears,
that's all I'm gonna spend.

And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

Can I add a last stanza?

"Now I've been yelling till my voice is hoarse
There's no use in flogging a dead horse
I'm gonna shoot for the moon with my silver bow
and sit on the beach till the sun gets low"

...:-))

Wow, and double wow. You two are full of hidden talent surprises. :whistle:

All I can say is - thank goodness you got pushed to that brink, to bring this to the light of day. :huh:

Edit : *blink* Why isn't this in the Atelier ? - I think you should ask to have it moved. */blink*

Funny thing is... I've known this song like forever, but never knew it was Simon and Garfunkle (el?) until today. Sometimes it takes time to move on..

edit: No, it's a rant, dammit. :rant:

Aaaah - I thought you composed it ! http://forums.intpcentral.com/images/smilies/BangHead.gif :D

( It's been a very long time since I listened to Simon & Garfunkel - I was thinking that, earlier today, actually - remembering another song )

edit : Okay ! (fakely-) :mad: Rant on.
*hmm, to include the smooch, or not... hmm. No, I think not.*

LOL! I had this tune stuck in my head for years when I was young. I'm not sure it was all the popular or common back then. My brother and I happened to fall upon it while listening to a pile of our aunt's old 45's.

So, uh, thanks for bouncing that red ball back into the present.... :rant: ;)
