The Fountain of You (original song)

With a list of about twenty or so songs waiting to be recorded, this popped into my head last night and I couldn't stop myself from posting it. I hope you enjoy it!

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOU

Think of the sacrifices,
Think if I had nothing to do.
The route to your gold and spices,
Entices me the whole night through.

And I am a Ponce De Leon,
Searching for the truth...

And I could drink, could drink the fountain of you,
I could drink, could drink the fountain of you,
I could drink, could drink the fountain of you,
I could drink, could drink the fountain of you.

If someone had told me so long ago,
I would have set sail on that day.
In spite of the waves and lack of roads,
Me and my machete would forge away.

And at the end of my journeys,
When I am long in tooth...

I will drink, will drink the fountain of you,
I will drink, will drink the fountain of you,
I will drink, will drink the fountain of you,
I will drink, will drink the fountain of you.

(break)

I will drink, will drink the fountain of you,
I will drink, will drink the fountain of you,
I will drink, will drink the fountain of you,
I will drink, will drink the fountain of you,
The fountain of you...

Hey good sounding tune. I liked it.

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening, and commenting!

[Psychedelicacy]

i'm sure it will be in my head all night now.

haha.

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Your brain is mine, all MINE! Mu-ha-ha...

Thanks!

[drehasadd]

hehe, fountain of youth, fountain of you. Clever. You're so good. Why didn't I watch your videos a long time ago when you told me to? Why aren't you famous, yet?!

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Seeeee... I told you to watch, but NNNOOoooooOO! You had a life to live or some other such nonsense. Seriously, thanks for coming by. Your Aria is a DOLL! I love that name, too. If I had a daughter, I might name her Carol, as in Christmas carol. I like musical names. Just don't name your next one "Decrescendo" even though it sounds kind of pretty. I'm not famous yet because I refuse to play that corporate game... and... 'cause no-one wants my music. :-(

Thanks! ~Jon
