HEARTBEAT AWAY

A song I'd thought lost until my buddy Tony Galfano, here on mandolin & backing vocals, found a cassette. Here is also a rare recording of Eamon Murray on sax and backing vocals. Two band members were absent. Can't remember why... :-)) This won't be up for long, folks, as I'd like to re-record it in the studio, so get yourself a bootleg while you can!

HEARTBEAT AWAY - Music & lyrics: Richard H. Jones

I feel reckless tonight
Darlin’, don't wear nothing special for me
We're gonna climb the back roads
Where no one goes
And remember how it feels to be free

I've got a bottle of tequila disguised as a beach ball
There'll be sunrise by the light of the moon
Honey, don't go taking hours to put your make-up on
I can't leave a minute too soon

I feel like a gypsy tonight
Baby, don't even brush your hair
Just be a child again, wild again
Throw away your lady's airs

We'll go down to the water
As the sun sinks down
Watch the stars reflect in the sea
And I'll tell you crazy stories
As I watch your eyes
And see if you believe in me

And maybe…
We’ve got the gift of staying young
We've got some songs that have never been sung
We’ll hear the music the moon-winds play
We're a heartbeat away

A heartbeat away
We're a heartbeat away
Heartbeat away
We're a heartbeat away

Ooh, I feel reckless tonight
So strong I'm all gentle inside
And I gotta have you share
What I'm feeling there
In a heart where nature never died

We'll be laughing at each other ‘cause it’s honest that way
And we'll be quiet when the music begins
And we'll throw all our worries to that western sky
And watch them swept away in the winds

And maybe
We’ve got the gift of staying young
We've got some songs that have never been sung
We’ll hear the music the moon-winds play
We're a heartbeat away

Heartbeat away
We're a heartbeat away
Heartbeat away
We're a heartbeat away
Heartbeat away
We're a heartbeat away

Thanks for the comment. ☺
