I call her name
Sweetly ‘cause I know it’s a game
She’s gossamer in front of a flame
And my heart’s beating
I zig she zags
Now she’s over there folding her rags
Tonight she’ll be packing her bags
While I am sleeping
Sheryl Rene
Watch her go and tell me now say
Ever see a vision so pretty fade away?
Breaking news
She’s completely unaware of my blues
Blowing kisses that will give me a bruise
And her a giggle
But I hold her tight
With each and every ounce of my might
Cause I know that just a little daylight
Can let her wiggle
Sheryl Rene
Watch her go and tell me now say
Ever see a vision so pretty fade away?
Why ask why?
Til death do . . .why even try?
The ink it ain’t even dry
There on the paper
Her Catholic tastes
And all the things I love in her face
Have been waste
Now in her vapor
Sheryl Rene
Watch her go and tell me now say
Ever see a vision so pretty fade away?
Just walk away Rene

Tide pools
Baby they’re just tide pools.
They can’t pull you under
or drown you in a wave.
All the silly creatures
living in the tide pools
think they make their own rules
in their pretty shallow grave.
is that blood there on your ankle divine?
Some kind of ink or is it sweet ocean wine? Ocean wine
Don’t flinch.
I think I see a starfish.
Baby make a good wish
and promise not to say
But was it bout the two fools
wading in the tide pools
and wasting life away. . .
is that blood there on your ankle divine?
some kind of ink or is it sweet ocean wine?
Ocean wine, intoxicating
Put a little buzz into me
Cause I’m...tired of waiting.
Tonight I’m gonna swim out to sea.
Are you coming with me?
is that blood there on your ankle divine?
Some kind of ink or is it sweet ocean wine?

My big blue heart
Well it’s mine and mine only.
It bleeds when it’s lonely
And cries when it bleeds.
My big blue heart
Well I came by it honest.
With each broken promise
It grew like a weed.
Somewhere in America tonight
All the girls are out lookin'
For some Mr. Right.
I sit alone in my little nest
And I tend to the monster that grows in my chest.
So don’t even start…
You’re never gonna break my big blue heart.
My big blue heart
It’s got so many chambers.
Pride, jealousy, anger
But mostly just spite.
It’s long in the tooth.
It ain’t big on virtue.
And it just might hurt you
If you touch it just right.
Somewhere in America tonight
All the girls are out lookin'
For some Mr. Right.
But I sit alone in my little nest
And I tend to the monster that grows in my chest.
So don’t even start
You’re never gonna break my big blue heart.
Maybe one of these days
You’ll change your ways
Turn this heart back to red.
But this old blue heart
It’s all that I got dear.
And as long as you’re not here
It’s all that I need.

What a coup, what a tragedy
You show up dressed to play.
When I try to touch you
You slap my hand away.
I move in clever
To steal a kiss.
You tell me "never"
And you hit and then I miss.
And I say I could use some TLC.
Oh and you only give me TNT.
You're so loveless.
You're so loveless.
I bought you diamonds.
I gave you cash.
I made you a valentine
And you threw it in the trash.
I feel so stupid.
I just can't figure.
I turned to Cupid.
But you went and stole his quiver.
And you say you're doing fine without.
Oh, I'll stay in case you come about.
You're so loveless
You're so loveless
You're so loveless
It's a crying shame.
Oh my darling you're so fond of saying
You're doing just can't be without
For forever I'm going to staying
Til you find out what love's all about.
You're so. . .
You're so loveless
You're so loveless
You're so loveless

Look around Little Wonder this is your time.
Take one step then another, I promise I won’t mind.
Shadows tugging at your shoulders but they can’t hide your grace.
You know you look a little older with your hair down on your face.
And if that mockingbird don’t sing, and if that lucky star don’t shine
You know that I’m here with my rescue gear.
Baby’s ready for the close up. See her shine.
The whole world’s lining up to be her valentine.
Every time the devil whispers in your ear.
I’m just around the corner, don’t you ever fear.
And if that mockingbird don’t sing, and if that lucky star don’t shine,
You know that I’m here with my rescue gear.
Solo
And if that mockingbird don’t sing, and if that lucky star don’t shine,
You know that I’m here with my rescue gear.
I’m here.

Emily
What would you say if you could talk to me
Desperately
Put down your grown up things and come with me
And we’ll ride a sleepy daydream built for two
While the walls around us crumble
I don’t care, do you?
Emily
I can’t believe the way we have to live
Silly me
Feeling so low when you have so much to give
And if you skipped out and left me all alone
I lay buried in the backyard underneath your bones Emily
And the world would be so wise
If it saw itself through your two eyes
And I know that it’s true.
I love you
And the world would be so wise
If it saw itself though your two eyes
And I know that it’s true.
Come with me

I probably shouldn't tell you this.
I probably shouldn't tell you this.
I’m high on wine
So I probably shouldn’t tell you this
But I go blind
Everytime I get a kiss from your lips
It drives a stake right through my soul
Nervous shakes out of control
Every time your lips meet mine
I go blind, I go blind
I lose control
Every time you’re close at hand
Love struck fool
Looking for a place to land (in your arms)
In this borderline obsession
I know you're thinking that’s not what love is all about
But despite my sad confession
Would you me in and never, never, never, never, never let me out
Every time I touch your skin
I fall in. I fall in.
Where do the broken go for comfort
When the night is broken too?
This one turns to you.
You're just in time
To save me from myself tonight
It’s half past nine
And something in my head ain’t even close to right
You see me I’m trapped beneath the pell of your spell
If you leave me now I’ll face a million fires
But what the hell (let me burn)
I probably shouldn’t tell you this.
I probably shouldn’t tell you this.
I probably shouldn't tell you this.
I probably shouldn't tell you this.

Check out hte new Boy Wonder he's
Zoomin' across the sky.
No one will ever understand
The Boy Who Could Fly.
So I sit in the corner and
Wait for the paint to dry.
Oh damn this gravity.
Why me oh why?
If I said I believed in you
Clicked my heels and
Looked up to the sky
Hey, I can fly.
And from tiny steps to bounds
I can't even try.
Too many ways without the means
And wolves to cry.
As you look down on the world
From the good sweet by and by.
Laughing I know I'll never be
The Boy Who Could Fly
The Boy Who Could Fly
If I said I believed in you
Clicked my heels and
Looked up to the sky.
Hey I can fly.
Ruffle the angels' wings.
Faith is a funny thing.
Stab the air, got no prayer.
It's a long, long way down there.
(solo)
Check out the new Boy Wonder he's
Zoomin' across the sky.
No one will ever understand me (Boy Who Could Fly).
No one will ever understand me (Boy Who Could Fly).
(Boy Who Could Fly)
'Cause if I said I believe in you
Clicked my heels and
Looked up to the sky
The sky.

Oh but my how time flies
When we’re together it seems
By the time the blood dries,
I’m left alone with my dreams
Lock the door.
It’s too late to settle the score.
You bring the medicine, I’ll bring the cure.
Once again I’ll pretend you’re not my ex-girlfriend.
Look away bite your lip
But i know what’s under that dress
Lose your mind let it slip
It’s done and I couldn’t care less
Lock the door
It’s too late to settle the score
You bring the medicine, I’ll bring the cure.
Once again I’ll pretend you’re not my ex-girlfriend.
What are friends for?
Five years of falling on my knees
This disease takes its toll on my soul
Was it you who once said
“Never never again”
Then you laughed while I bled.
How can I call you a friend?

Baby step on out of the shadows
Let the light touch your pretty hair
The few gray hairs that you have
Well they look really good with the red
You think you’ve lost all your beauty
That time came and took it from you
But baby I feel it’s my duty
To say this to you
You still shine like diamonds
You still glow like stars
Light up the way babe
Wherever you are
You try hard to hide all the bruisin'
And you cover and color the scars
It’s only time that you’re losin'
And speaking of time
It’s getting late and here we are
And you shine like diamonds
You still glow like stars
You still shine like diamonds
You still glow like stars
And you light up my world babe
Wherever you are
All you ever lost was some time
