| Canal Zone Forever |
| My reflections on seeing a video last night of the old Canal Zone (circa 1997) The Old Canal Zone is all gone now... It slipped away quietly like a tropical breeze in the night Memories of the past are many Images frozen in time staring back at you In treasured countless yearbooks and photo albums Happy days in a lost paradise... so far away now The Old Canal Zone is all gone now... Memories cannot be sold or bought We all have an appointment somewhere in time It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to know what is to follow So what is all the noise... there is no enigma here The train has left the station... all aboard, now. The Old Canal Zone is all gone now... Solve the puzzle... write the words... sing the song Laughter is good medicene... Lemon swallowers are everywhere But what do they know Don't be mean... what goes around comes around. The Old Canal Zone is all gone now... What do you remember of those days gone by? Time flies but memories are forever Some say life is not fair The future is filled with doubts and fear But we were all young once The Old Canal Zone is all gone now... Footprints mark our passage Town site mark our past Diablo, Balboa, Curundu, Cocoli... all gone now Some say they are still there... Coal-on, Margarita, Davis Not the same, Mon... nothing stays the same The Old Canal Zone is all gone now... |
