about

I used to work in a fish and chips restaurant in North Delta, BC. I was about 22 years old. There was a young lady working there at the same time. She was a waitress and I a waiter. She must have been about 17 and she was one of the most attractive beings on the face of the Earth at that time. This was about 10 years ago. I think I spent all of my time at work dreaming about hopping freight trains and making babies with her. Don't know what she's doing now.

lyrics

Seventeen

Sad as a summer wind blowing down the avenue
I'm living the feeling of wanting you but not having you
Come on baby, walk my way
I've been dying to know your name
To talk to you, to hold you,
To show you that my love is true

Come on girl, it's now or never
Though this feeling could last forever
I can't live another minute
What is life without you in it?
Oh, I'm crying.

I don't even know you
But wedding bells are ringing
You've never looked into my eyes
But choirs are singing
It's only the world that says I'm strange
But it's only the world that needs to change

You must be just seventeen
But to me you're heavenly
I wish we could run away
Someday, girl. Someday.
Oh, I'm just dreaming.
Forever dreaming.
