The tide is high but I’m holding on
I’m gonna be your number one
I’m not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no
Shannon, is gone I heard
She’s drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she’ll find an island with a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
They say she just went crazy, screaming out his name
She ran out into the ocean, and to this day they claim
If you go down by the water, you’ll see her footprints in the sand
'Cuz every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down his stall
In a blizzard she was lost
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire
And you know it’s time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light in the distance
Life is a clay urn on the mantle
And I am the fragments on the floor
Life is a clay urn on the mantle
And I am the ashes on the floor
We are the wounds and the great cold death of the earth
Darkness and silence, the light shall flicker out
Disembodied, a luminous hand
Holding the air, passing the current
A voice is channeled, a rope is uncoiled
Flicker the light and someone is here
Beneath the opera house
I know he’s there.
He’s with me on the stage,
He’s everywhere.
And when my song begins,
I always find
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind.
He’ll never make the screen.
He’ll never make the ‘Sweeney’,
Be that movie queen.
He’s too busy hitting the Vaseline.
Ooh, yeah, you’re amazing!
We think you are really cool.
We’d give you a part, my love,
But you’d have to play the fool.
Don’t come running to me, I know I’ve done all I can
A hard loving woman like you just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you babe
I’ll be a fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
I’m so tired of trying I always end up crying
Fool for your loving no more
I’ll be a fool for your loving no more
'Cause everybody’s somebody’s fool
Everybody’s somebody’s plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody’s somebody’s fool.
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
My sometime is now
I love everybody
Especially you
I love everybody
Especially you
So if you feel lonesome
Remember it’s true
I love everybody
Especially you
:rolleyes:
Some songs feel like butter
Some songs sound like cake
This little number is for your sake
'Cause if we knew where we belong
There’d be no doubt where we’re from
But as it stands, we don’t have a clue
Especially me and probably you
Probably you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world
Are the stars out tonight
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you dear.
Sha bop sha bop
The moon may be high
Sha bop sha bop
But I can’t see a thing in the sky
I only have eyes for you.
Summer nights are colder now
They’ve taken down the fair
All the lights have died somehow
Or were they ever there
No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I’ve lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I’ve always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare
Tell me is love
Still a popular suggestion,
Or merely an obsolete art?
Forgive me for asking
This simple question
I’m unfamiliar with this part
I am a stranger here myself.
People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down
