Rena Lyrics - Blue Rodeo

I got my plans from trembling hands 

I knew just what to do 

Follow each step carefully 

And hope they pulled me through 

My father ran to different lands 

And not a word we spoke 

But I was here to conquer fear 

And bring some glory home 

Theres a world of hate and sorrow 

Out there standing in your way 

Theres a load of compromise 

Before you die 

And each time you step forward 

You get burned a little bit 

No longer know the way 

To say goodbye 

Now Im down here underneath 

Your bedroom light 

Oh, Rena please come out 

With me tonight 

I look in through the window 

And I thought Id take my chance 

I taught myself to play 

So I could be where people danced 

No higher call than stars that fall 

I waited patiently 

A thousand miles of pavement 

That became my destiny 

You can wait a lonely lifetime 

Wondering when its gonna come 

You can while away the hours 

Getting stoned 

Yeah, one day you get lucky 

And you look in someones eyes 

That tell you, you dont 

Have to be alone 

Now Im falling back 

Just out of your sight 

Oh, Rena please come out 

With me tonight 

Oh, now I know the way things go 

And what I put you through 

'Cause when they try to get to me 

They get to me through you 

I know its not the kind of hurt 

Thats easily set right 

And I know you got your reasons 

To stay inside 

Oh, but nothing ever happens 

When its left out on its own 

You locked in there with 

Just your wounded pride 

Im down here and Im 

Way too tired to fight 

Oh, Rena please come out 

With me tonight 

Oh, Rena please come out 

With me tonight
