John Jenkins – Do You Ever Think About Me ?
Recorded live on my Mobile Phone
Do You Ever Think About Me?
When we said goodbye those years ago
I never thought it be for good
You said “Love don’t give security; it can burn itself out like firewood”
And young hearts may run free
I guess it was the same for you with me
And I hear some guy got you Moonstruck
Aint that the same as being in love?
Chorus 1
Do you ever think about me?
Am I ever in your thoughts?
Do you still hold the memories of the places we once walked?
Scratched our names out in that old oak tree
I wonder if they still remain?
Or like footprints in the winter snow
Lost forever when it rains
And some clouds can look the same
Not so easy to say from which falls rain
Maybe I (just) misunderstood
When your friends said that together we looked good
Chorus 2
Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever give me a thought?
Do you wonder how I’m doing?
Or has that ship sailed from its port?
Middle 8
Don’t let me fade away like a letter caught by the sun
Don’t let me lose my way in the undertow of your thoughts.
Chorus 3
Do you ever think about me?
Am I ever in your thoughts?
Or wonder how I’m doing?
Or do you think life’s too short
Hey John, Love the way you’ve just sat down with your guitar & mobile & sung your song. Its like you are thinking out loud about how your friend thinks about you & what went on between you. So the song is a message to yourself & others who have gone through the same experience & are left with similar feelings. What next? Take care.
Thanks Christopher thats a cool way of hearing it – Much appreciated – Best wishes John
