Recorded at the Penthouse in Key West, Florida in December 2006.. this song was inspired by a woman who told me the story of her and her first love and the place by this lake where they used to go and they had carved their names in a tree there many years before

lyrics

In the evening with the sun sinking low down by the lakeside
I held you in my arms in the twilight
We were young and my whole world was reflected in your eyes
My heart became forever yours that long ago night

Every night you and me were just talking walking hand in hand
To the spot where we stopped and carved our names in a tree
But once tipped the hourglass only holds so much sand
And memories and our names in the tree is all that's left of you and me

And I'll be waiting 'til the next lifetime for a love like yours
Until then I'll never know love again
What we had is only for the young
And our love is now a lost and flickering flame

But you were my first one and only love
Tell me is there any other kind?
You quenched my thirst, lost and lonesome dove
Now and forever, always on my mind

Now the sun's gone down I'm all alone by the lakeside
Just thinking of you and me here in that long ago time
Why I still come here I can't say there must be something in the air
Like our names in that tree our love is faded but always there
