Stoney, get out of my head
Arghh... Of all of the things that occupy my puny brain, now this. It started out innocently enough. I was browsing a web site about dogs, and they were playing this song that for some reason, I haven't been able to get off my mind. This wasn't one of those electronic midi songs you find so often on the web but a real live song so it caught my ears right away. But beyond that, it was just so earnest, gentle and sappy. The first time I heard it, it was a catchy tune; the second time I started paying attention to the lyrics; the third time I was humming along, and I was hooked.
I've just ordered a CD from amazon, The Best of Lobo for this song "Stoney." It will be here next week. Just in case you are wondering, the disc also contains such gems as "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo," (It really was a doggie site,) "Where Were You When I was Falling in Love," "Day in the Life of a Love," and "I Don't Wanna Make Love Anymore" (yikes!) All that for $5.98 with free shipping. Below are the lyrics for "Stoney." You have been warned.
I've known her since we both were kids
I recall the silly things we did
She would want to ride upon my back
To keep from stepping on a crack
I didn't think of it back then
But even when she did not win
She was happy just to play
Stoney liked to live out every day
Stoney, happy all the time
Stoney, life is summertime
The joy you find in living every day
Stoney, how I love your simple ways
The times when no one understood
Seems that Stoney always would
We'd walk for hours in the sand
She would always try and hold my hand
Stoney, happy all the time
Stoney, liked the summertime
The joy you find in living every day
Stoney, how I love your simple ways
Now, I don't recollect the time
I fell in love with this old friend of mine
Or when I first saw in her eyes
What she tried so not to hide
Stoney, happy all the time
Stoney, liked the summertime
The joy you find in living every day
Stoney, how I love your simple ways
Stoney, happy all the time
Stoney, liked the summertime
The joy you find in living every day
Stoney, how I love your simple ways
Stoney, happy all the time
Stoney, liked the summertime
The joy you find in living every day
Stoney, how I love your simple ways

"We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun . . ." before she died, that is.
