15 Anemone 1970

By the end of my first term I ditched my cheap and tatty guitar for an Echo Jumbo (and had to live on porridge omelets for a term to pay for it). This had a nice action so you could play things high up the fretboard without killing your fingers. This was me trying to be clever with my new toy… I’ve filled it out with some strings and things.

Open eyes gazing lonely upon a summer scene
Haze of flies down by the river but none in her dreams
Of her admirers fighting for her smile
The kiss of friendship she see go by
Floating there with the tide

Picks a flower throws it over see it rise and swirl
In a power not if its making; oh how her senses whirl
At the likeness and for a while
That empty feeling returns to find
A tear in her mind
