Celina, She Smiled
©Jerry Axson

Far away in Canaan county,
down a yellow sand road,
where twig sticks raise up doodle bugs,
and strip down my heavy load,
there’s a memory of a girl there,
someone I used to know,
I’ve not spoken her name in years now,
I’m the only one who knows,

Celina, she smiled –
and the sky turned deep blue,
Celina, she smiled –
and I believed it all came true,
every wish we ever wished for…
every hope we ever had…
Celina, she smiled –
and chased away the bad…

Wooden porches in the summer time,
old rusted chairs - green and white,
you children best play quiet there,
he’s in the bottle tonight,
we weren’t rich but we weren’t poor,
didn’t know and did not care,
we were growing up together,
in the middle of nowhere,

All that time we thought we had to make life better for us
slowly faded before our eyes and settled down in the dust
caught between the suns last rays and the darkness moving in
we lost each other in the night and we’ll never get it back again…
no, we’ll never get it back again…
no, we’ll never get it back again…
no, we’ll never get it back again…
no, we’ll never get it back again…

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
