Jamie
When the road never ends
And the nightfall comes near
You’ll be there beside me
Whispering in my ear
When the time comes to go
I’ll leave you to your sleep
Taking with me always
The memories I keep
There are times I could cry
Knowing just how you are
Waking up alone and
Knowing just how far
I’ve strayed from your side
As the miles pass me by
Always on the run and
Never knowing why
So remember me always
And I’ll do the same
Taking just memory of your face
And the sound of your name

1992. One-night stands are greatly underrated. One such brief encounter
with a woman named Jamie drove that point home. Sometimes an experience
is so fulfilling, it can only happen once.
At the time, I had a guitar theme and a melody, but no lyrics.
When Jamie and I parted, I had my lyrics the next day. She so reminded me
of all the women I'd left behind, and yet she didn't judge me. She encouraged
me to finish my song, which I did.
