Description
A song I wrote while on business one month before my wedding in 2001. Was actually jotted down walking back to the hotel from my office in Dublin. Forgotten until a few months ago when I discovered a box of old papers. Recorded a quick demo. Thought, I could do something with this. Thew on some loops that made me laugh, so I left them. Added a bassline. Called it "finished enough for now." Another song in my average-one-per-week. More of a story will eventually appear in my blog at http://web.mac.com/reveith/iWeb/Misses_and_Mystery/Home.html

Lyrics
It’s beautiful here.
Actually, it’s been raining.
They tell me that it’s always raining,
but I don’t mind.
I don’t do anything.
Every night I’m eating out.
I love to charge my expense account
and the hotel is fine.

CHORUS
But of course, there’s something missing
and no, there’s no one I’ve been kissing.
Every minute I’m here I find
thoughts of you in the back of my mind
and I want you to know: I want to make this clear,
how I wish you were here.

It’s a bread and circus show.
Actually, it’s mostly boring.
It’s a job and mostly boring
that keeps me from home. (chorus)

Back in my early 20s, I was practicing bass three hours a day, playing in a band with a drummer who practiced six hours a day and a guitarist who was one the "up and coming" lead guitar players of my home town. Plus, I was writing a song every day. I... [see more]
