about

A great singer, most often a woman, changes your life, your heart, forever.,

lyrics

THE SINGER

her eyes were closed
her hair on fire
tight fist on one side
of her body
a mic
in the other
she felt so much
i could feel it too
her voice
like a cyclone
a siren
a shot
in the dark

give it to me…

a singer
like you
shatters the soul
like it should
ya scares the shit outa me

heartbreak
& hope
in one voice
ya held me
like a babe in arms
terrified & shakin

give it to me…

unaware
of how the light
above her head
a miracle
to me
to me

it has t be a woman
judy
nina
aretha
amy
joni
billie
a singer
like you
ya take
me away

your voice
a church
a choir

ah ah ah…
hey yeah…

give it to me…

her eyes were closed
her hair on fire
tight fist on one side
of her body
a mic
in the other
she felt so much
i could feel it too
a shot
in the dark
