Heard while driving...

Send me a dozen long stem roses / I'll tell you what I will do
I'll bend them into a crown of thorns /And send it right back to you

Your love, love, love /Don't keep me satisfied
And though I've never been there / I know it's always greener /On the greener side

Say you want to give me a run for my money / There's something I'm gonna admit
Now it may sound funny, but Romeo, honey / I don't want none of your...

Love, love, love ....

My love is like a wishing well / Your love is like a clear blue sky
Sometimes it takes a thunder storm / To fill me when I'm dry
....
================================

Well, I'm admitting I was drifting /When I came into your harbor
But I feel my spirits lifting / Like a wind just off to starboard bow
Now I know I swore that I would love no more /But you hauled in, you called my bluff
Oh you take the wind out of my sails /It must be luff /It must be luff

Oh luff / L U F F, luff / Oh luff /It must be luff

Now I've been down, I've been around / I drink the whiskey, don't drink no water
Yeah and this ain't my first seaport town / No, I'm a salty seaman's daughter
But you rock my boat, it'll hardly float / And when you talk that soft romantic stuff
Oh you take the wind out of my sails ...
....
So fly that Jolly Roger high / Don't lie, you are a pirate
Shanghai'd my heart, stole my soul / Don't you try to deny it
Oh how I cried when you took my pride / And when that just weren't enough, oh no
You took the wind out of my sails
...
================================
....
It's animal behavior
Animal behavior
It's pigs, sheep and wolves
Pigs, sheep and wolves
Pigs, sheep and wolves
It's animal behavior
It's pigs, sheep and wolves
....
=================================
....
May twelve angels guard you
While you sleep
Maybe that's a waste of angels I don't know
I'd do anything to keep you safe
From the danger that surrounds us
....
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
You broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one
....
================================

The first time I saw her / I couldn't be sure
But the sin of impatience / Said, "she's just what you're looking for"
....
She's so hot / She's so cool
I'm not / I'm just a fool in love with darling Lorraine

All my life I've been a wanderer / Not really, I mostly lived near my parents' home
Anyway Lorraine and I got married / And the usual marriage stuff
Then one day she says to me /From out of the blue
Frank, I've had enough / Romance is a heartbreaker
I'm not meant to be a homemaker / And I'm tired of being darling Lorraine

What - you don't love me anymore?
What - you're walking out the door?
What - you don't like the way I chew?
Hey let me tell you

You're not the woman that I wed / You say you're depressed but you're not
You just like to stay in bed / I don't need you darling Lorraine

Darling Lorraine
Lorraine / I long for your love
....
If it had not been for Lorraine / I'd have left here long ago
I should have been a musician / I love the piano
...
But I feel so good / With darling Lorraine

On Christmas morning Frank awakes / To find Lorraine has made a stack of pancakes
They watch the television, husband and wife / All afternoon "It's a Wonderful Life"
....
Gimme my robe I'm going back to bed / I'm sick to death of you Lorraine

Darling Lorraine
Lorraine /Her hands like wood
The doctor was smiling / But the news wasn't good
Darling Lorraine / Please don't leave me yet
I know you're in pain / Pain you can't forget
Your breathing is like an echo of our love

Maybe I'll go down to the corner store / And buy us something sweet
Here's an extra blanket honey / To wrap around your feet

All the trees were washed with April rain
And the moon in the meadow / Took darling Lorraine

================================

We're one, but we're not the same


...and then I was home again.
