Howdy, folks.. smile

I'm posting for Dave, this latest demo I've just finished for him, and it was both a challenge and a pleasure, as I finally learned how to program my virtual lap steel guitar (Orange Tree Samples "Slide Lap Steel") which plays throughout and solos at the end. If you notice a bird tweeting, that's the I'iwi, one of the honeycreeper songbirds of Hawaii. Anyway, we hope you enjoy the song!

Moonlight At Makaha

The moonlight at Makaha
It's where I'd rather be
But I'm standing here now waiting
By the lonely Banyan tree
Thinkin' 'bout our time together
I never can break free
From the memory of your magic
And the love you shared with me

Come and find me cuz I'm sinking
In a pool of reverie
Can't forget you, need to love you
Your love can rescue me
Will we ever be together
Where the waves are wild and free
Am I broken and forgotten
On our sand bough by the sea

I drove out to Nanakuli
To the cafe where we'd go
They'd play our island music
All the songs we used to know
But the magic isn't there now
Still the trade winds gently blow
And the message of the music
In the moonlight haunts me so

Drinkin' Rusty Nails and wishin'
Our love would still live on
But my simple intuition
Knows tonight your love is gone
Though my heart believes our love affair
Would still be goin' strong
If you only knew I love you
And I'll never do you wrong

Now you live in Honolulu
Not too far from Waikiki
When you're workin' at your day job
Do you ever think of me
Or has time and space convinced you
Our love can never be
How I wished that you still loved me
It's still my fantasy

Guess we'll never be together
To surf the angry sea
But I'll dream of it forever
When our love was young and free
I'll dream of it forever
Mahaka..
You, and me
