Story Behind The Song
This version is a prototype, not a full-blown studio job. However, I think this version of the song has been developed sufficiently for a recording artist to take it and run with it.

Lyrics
Gleam
(Words and music by Jeffrey Leiker, Copyright 2005)
In smoky bars with hazy light,
Summer breezes, summer nights
Beaches gleaming emerald bright.
Some hangouts like the lost and found
Castoff people making sounds
Trying to keep their feet still on the ground.
(CHORUS):
I think that I will know her
When I first get a glance,
I hope that I can find some words,
I won?t be in a trance
The gleam in her eye will guide me
Like the North Star late at night,
Late at night.
I don?t know why I need someone.
I should feel so full feeling free;
But come the evening,
I get that hollow feeling,
So I dream of the gleam in her eye.
I feel like the ghost sailor
Doomed to sail the seas forever
?Till he finds a girl who will save him.
I need a girl to keep for all time
I won?t be using come-on lines
I?ve heard good men are hard to find.
(CHORUS):
