His Lover's Child - Naked & Alone C.D.
|
|
|
|
The girl had eyes of green
and oh she loved to dream
Dance and sing in wonder
of all things that breathe
And so the boy grew tall
with eyes that opened wide
Destined to fall in love and
take this angel bride
And one child had they
upon which they prayed
Would rise higher and higher now
each and every day
But love can fill you up inside or
it can drain each drop of blood
Well the dreamer died before her dreams
and the boy never understood
Now I?ve got the telephone number he wo ånt dial
I?ve got the face he has not seen for a while
Because I talk too much
I dream aloud
I?m a fool to keep believing when I?m
too short an I?m
too wild
I?m too crazy
and I look just like
his Lover?s child
Little boy lost, little boy found
Little boy?s woman asleep in the ground
But memories become night mares
and his daughter has her Mother?s hair
She?s got her mother?s voice, her spirit too
And she dances and she dreams
She sings in wonder of
All things that breath
And she does nothing right
she does nothing that he likes
She?s got a big bright smile and
she?ll sing this song tonight
And with his broken heart
He rips her soul apart
Denying all that?s true but
she?s got his eyes of blue
She?s got the telephone number he wont dial
She?s got the face he has not seen for a while
Because she talks too much
She dreams aloud
Oh She?s a fool to keep believing
When She?s too short and shes too wild
she?s too crazy and she looks just like
His Lovers Child
