Sweet Abilena looked out at the Midwestern sky. Sweet seventeen with a far away look in her eyes. She said "I feel like a bird in a cage but come September I'm flying away".
(Mark Erelli). . Out here on this road just after midnight. Silver sickle rising in the east. I'm steady on the wheel. But I know just how you feel. So just lean back and try to catch some sleep.
(Mark Erelli). . There are seven sisters weeping. Down by the old oxbow. As the coffee colored river. Swells with melting snow. . Soon a bittersweet new season.
You did not understand what goodbye could do. You seem a little dazed and confused. Oh, but you've been blind to the writing on the wall. Well, hello honey, face it, reality's come to call.
It started out with just a glance. Some conversation, slow dance. It was nothing, it didn't mean too much. . But all of a sudden he's on your mind. You think about him all the time.
If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye. It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry. When waking from a bad dream don't you sometimes think it's real?.
Summertime came to Sycamore Street. They were seventeen and crazy from the heat. Full moon filled the Mississippi sky. That was their first time. . Silhouettes danced on the living room wall.
Betty walked in with a red dress on. Charlie's first glance, he was fallin' in love. He didn't have to say what he felt that day. . So Charlie promised Betty she had his heart.
I just love the way you kiss. When I hold you just like this. Ooo baby what you do. When I make love to you. . Mmm I love to watch your eyes. And listen to your sighs.
Now, I'm just a simple guy. But there's one thing sure as shootin'. I hate those folks that think that they're. So doggone high fa lutin. I'd be the same in Hollywood.
Stopped by today,. had a chocolate shake. down at Burger Joe's.. Took me back to. When I fell for you. At the drive-thru window.. Talked me into taking off early.
Ruthie got a job and nothing went right. She woke up in a nervous sweat. In the middle of the night. And every morning of every day. Ruthie she would end up crying, Lord.
Go on and cry, but you won't change my mind. Your pain and troubles don't concern me. I gave you my love, but it was not enough. I was just your bridge and boy you burned me.
You, you might be the one. So let's not rush it, let's not jump the gun. Sometimes love is an illusion. Let's make it clear just so there's no confusion.
I'm half a woman, with half a heart and half a mind when we're apart. But when you're here with me I'm complete. My heart had been so uninspired love left a lot to be desired.
You look like an angel. I wanna touch you, come a little closer. Well there's not much and that we can do. Woah unless you come a little closer, yeah.
(lila mccann/mark spiro). . At first I didn't understand when she walked through the door. You let go of my hand and then I knew there must be more. I tried to tell myself that you were only friends.
(lila mccann/mark spiro). . Sittin' in my room starin' at the ceilin'. Nothing I do can't shake this feelin'. What have you done to me. I never thought I would be.
You used me then refused me you brought this lovesick heart so much pain. You abused me confused me but still I love you just the same. I can recall when I came first of all and I thought our love will never ever change.
