Let's not talk about lonely nights...

Let's not talk about girls...

I think of this as kind of a campfire song.

This is my way of tying it into the First Day of Summer. Which is today.

Anyhow, I used to camp a lot in the mountains of California -- in the coastal ranges and in the Sierra. And I always did the campfire thing. When you're camping the way I used to camp, the fire defines all your time after the sun goes down. You cook over it. You eat around it. Maybe you drink around it. For sure, you talk. Maybe you play guitar or tell stories around it. And when a new log doesn't go in, the dimming fire defines the arc of the evening back into darkness and the pillowy solitude of sleep.

Ah... I kind of dozed off there for a moment.

Let's Not Talk About Girls

let's not talk about lonely nights
or waiting for her to come home
we all know what it's like
don't think that your'e all alone

let's not talk about girls
let's not talk about broken hearts
let's not talk about love and
how love can tear you apart

let's not talk about togetherness
hearth home or family
let's not talk about how it all falls apart
for all the world to see

let's not talk about girls
let's not talk about broken hearts
let's not talk about love and
how love can tear you apart

(C)1980, TK Major
