Gene Mitchell Different Stories lyrics

Verse 1
He took his dreams out on the ocean
It's there he ponders all his plans
He knows the wind will take him places
Though he lost his leg in Vietnam
And in his vision, there's a lady
One who will not make demands
She'll just love him in the good times
And in his bad times, understand

Verse 2
She left the city life behind her
And all it's simulated smiles
Gave it all up for the sunshine
And the easy life in the Virgin Isles
And then one day while she was working
He limps into the small café
Shares his life with dreams and stories
As he sits and casually conveys

Chorus
Different stories, different times
Treasured memories, that keep our dreams alive
Some are true and some pretend
Some live on and some will end
A story is all that you believe
Come share your stories with me


Instrumental

Verse 3
Then she sat down at his table
And shared some stories of her own
She said I've always longed for freedom
It's on the ocean I belong
Now they're sailing distant waters
In search of dreams that still remain
And though they both have different stories
The endings are the same

Chorus
Different stories, different times
Treasured memories, that keep our dreams alive
Some are true and some pretend
Some live on and some will end
A story is all that you believe
Come share your stories with me
