Fantastic apt song from Dusty

[les_taxi]

I wandered the streets and the gay crowded places

Trying to forget you but somehow it seems

My thoughts ever stray to our last sweet embraces

Over the sea on the Island of Dreams



High in the sky is the bird on the wing

Please carry me with you

Far far away from the mad rushing crowd

Please carry me with you



Again I would wander where memories enfold me

There on the beautiful Island of Dreams



High in the sky is the bird on the wing

Please carry me with you

Far far away from the mad rushing crowd

Please carry me with you



Again I would wander where memories enfold me

There on the beautiful Island of Dreams

Far far away on the Island of Dreams

... gey (pronounced 'gay') appropriate, Les; beautiful song ... beautiful woman. Shame about Dusty ... could've had her pick of the men had she been so-inclined. But ... ... there you go!

Yes, Dusty Springfield. One of my all time favourite singers ever.
A true icon and imo the best soul singer anywhere.

She would often stay in this area and I met her a couple of times. Not under the best of circumstances it has to said, but she was always very gracious.

I've always had a soft spot for her.
