Nothing Stays The Same

vs 1
Lately I’ve noticed
a sadness – lives in your eyes
the sparkle has faded –
I just don’t know how to reply.

vs 2
Seems like a lifetime
but it’s often no more than a sigh
when a memory – suddenly –
apprears out of nowhere and makes you cry –

chorus
Inhale and exhale – choking on tears
as you struggle to push back your pain
Longing to hold on – needing to let go
– you are aware of the claim:
that nothing – no no nothing – stays the same!

vs 3
It seems like a lifetime
but how quickly it all passes by
when changes are certain
and something inside of you dies….

Hot  Night

vs 1
In the middle of a hot night – I woke up trembling
my body shaking from my head down to my toes.
I felt so clearly – the memories haunting me
this aching in me – only one woman knows: me!

vs 2
Increasing feelings that force me to my knees -
like oil on water, like fire in my veins
dreading the emptiness – that tends to swallow –
when I hear you calling me so many miles away!
(….calling me!)

chorus
I’m not denying – what I am feeling.
No use in trying – there’s nothing I can do.
I fight this longing – that’s rooted deep in me
And when you face it: you know you’ve got it too!

vs 3
When I taste your soft lips – it’ll break the fever
to touch your cool skin – puts me to rest.
The passion driving us becomes a tidal wave
the moment we make love and both become possessed!

chorus
There is no lying – we both know what is true
though we’re denying – there’s nothing we can do!
When a woman’s heart must fight
what’s rooted deep in her:
she’ll wake in the middle – ahh…. in the middle of a hot night!!

bridge 1
And as I lay me down
to go to sleep at night
It’s like a storm builds up
the ache it burns inside….

bridge 2
I hear the thunder crack
I feel the lighting strike
There’s nothing to hold back,
when we both give up this fight!

chorus
There is no lying – we both know what is true
though we’re denying – there’s nothing we can do.
When a woman’s heart must fight what’s rooted deep in her:
she’ll wake in the middle of the night,
……………... in the middle of the night,
she’ll wake in the middle of the night
aching……..through and through…..
Hot Night!
