I wrote this one about a girl I cared about, but seemed destined to making the same mistakes over and over. The melody is pleasing and the message clear. The harmonies of voice and guitars help make this, one I still like to hear.
lyrics
She stumbles through the days in hope that rhyme or reason,
Will shower her with sense enough to come in from out the rain.
She stumbles through the nights in search of love and glory,
But it's the same old love story, 'cause he didn't even know her name.
*"Me Lady One Night Stand please marry me."
Those are words you'll never hear from me.
I love you too and I'll see you soon.
You can't be that naive!
Me Lady One Night Stand you know it's getting late.
The word is out you're just a one way date.
And every dawn just brings another day,
Another day awake!
She stumbles through her life,
Looking for her anyone to dream with tonight.
Looking for her anyone to scheme with tonight.
And on and on and everyone knows it goes through the night.
Looking for her anyone to dream with tonight.
Looking for her anyone to bring her delight.
And on and on and everyone knows it goes through the night.
And on and on and on it goes. On and on it goes...
