Fleming Beach Initiation

James Bowden

And darling I know you’ve got grand plans for us

Since the day we got back on that bus
Told me you’d be mine if I’d ask
Said we’d take it slow not fast

In your hair beneath that cold moonlight
I barely thought to put up a fight
And into your willing arms I fell
Loving you more for having been through hell

So I mean it when I tell you that
I’ve loved you through the good and bad
Though my heart is caught up in my throat
I never meant to flood your boat

This was an unfinished song? of sorts I wrote during my first instance of heartbreak, in large part inspired by Dermot Kennedy, so you’re quite welcome to read it to yourself in his voice.
