Talisman the another co-production of an original song written and recorded by Tom Simanek of Dallas Texas. The metaphor of a lost Talisman lover is sweet in its both its' expression and delivery. If you have never heard Tom Simanek singing, at first you might think you are hearing a brother to Art Garfunkel - Tom's voice is hauntingly close in both pitch and tone.

Talisman
The deck is sound,my skin is browned
from years in the sunny trades.
And the adventure never fades,
or slips beneath the waves to drown.
For in it's charted course,
my life holds no remorse,
but for the love I left behind
on a distant beach.
* (chorus)
Talisman of taragon
sweet lime and tangerine,
safely carry me back home
upon a sea of green.
Talisman of cinnamon
black pearls and children's dreams,
chase the loneliness for home
out on this sea of green.
Upon the crest,we sail and test
swells of hope that rise and fall.
And I have heard the siren's call
that beckoned me to give my best.
Yet in my deadlocked dreams,
I harbour landlocked schemes,
all for the love I left behind
on a distant pebbled beach.
* (chorus repeat)
Shells in her hand,she walks the sand
past the flotsam washed ashore.
And she has need of so much more
than what a life at sea has planned.
But when I'm lost in mist,
my talisman is kissed
to bring me to love I left belind
on a distant pebbled beach.
* (chorus repeated)
