	Story Behind the Song You meet someone amazing. You fall hopelessly in love. You get married. You have kids. You are still hopelessly in love. And you are hopelessly, and adoringly, infatuated with the kids you've brought into the world. But somehow, she's no longer hopelessly in love with you... Now what? Once I started this it just poured out. And, yes, I am still hopelessly in love with the same amazing woman. (And I was wrong, she still thinks I'm pretty funky) Recorded on 8-track open reel (before I switched to digital). Electric guitar is an Epiphone Les Paul run through a Fender Princeton with lots of various Lexicon and Zoom effects. Drums are from the Roland U-20 cards; bass is also from the U-20 set up. Mixed to DAT through a bunch of Behringer, Lexicon and dbx stuff and then mastered to CD on a Philips CDR 765. Ripped to mp3 via HyCD. Lyrics Here I am in the middle of my life And I know I can feel I am fading Most days I just shut up and take it like a man Then I look at you; oh I remember you and me Just ten years ago Those days have slipped from our lives like Jamaican sand Theyve just come and gone Ive always known that its good hard work If you want to stay in love You dont just fall one day and then stay there all of your life But weve got our kids and youve got your friends and Im Im somewhere between I dont believe you think its worth the fight Its just come and gone Like Jamaican sand Its just come and gone God I love my kids, I think their futures bright And youve got your power walks with the girls at night And lets not forget my job, hey it pays the bills But wheres the passion? Wheres the flame? Wheres the occasional lovers game? My empty heart is waiting to be filled But its come and gone Like Jamaican sand Its just come and gone Like Jamaican sand So here I sit in the middle of my life Im watching as Im fading But, hey, shut up old man! Just get on down the line Cause its come and gone Like Jamaican sand Just come and gone Like Jamaican sand Just come and gone
