LYRICS all words written by holly ramos
i believe
my best was no match for heart ache & disappointment
i tried not to ask & lived a life of pale enjoyment. yeah
felt like i lived in a small room with a low dark ceiling
never dared to dream before of blue sky roof & a flower floor
till i saw you there in air sweet like perfume
…put a flower in my hair and lead me from my room
lead me to believe
i believe that dreams come true
safe girls don't give in to their wild imagination
better than i ever met sweeter than i ever let it be
imagine you loved me cause baby i love you
i think its time i changed my mind and let my dreams come true
(cause i) believe
i believe that dreams come true
love is lovely and you are beautiful
love is everywhere if you just say yes
if you just say yes
yes is the best
(cause i)belive
i believe that dreams come true.
evangeline
eastside by the school yard we don't work hard, we got roosters and chickens on the street
from uptwn where they get high just to get by, there came a girl named evangeline
she's not like all the others, sends flowers to her mother, the finest girl you ever seen
she makes out with her boyfriend in the diner, eating french fries in between
she does things when they get home that you can't do alone and no honest man would believe
says he's the guy she's gonna marry, she calls him harry, even though his name is steve
one day a greyhound rolls by, she doesn't say goodbye cause she got no reason to leave
and one day when she walks by I'm gonna say hi to that girl names evangeline
she got a $10 haircut to look like elvis, the finest girl you ever seen
(kiss like a) waterfall
beautiful beautiful
you flow just like you should
so strong a song
you make me feel so good
i wait till when
i will see you again
i live for you
i bite my lip till then
come come come comin' down hard
high high high and above me
oh oh
kiss like a waterfall
come come I'm in love
you're what i'm thinking of
actual natural
you're below and above
once lost now i'm found
i listen to your sound
get chills get thrills
when you are splashing down
come come come comin' down hard
high high high and above me
oh oh
kiss like a waterfall
overboard, pushing through
i wanna be with you
jump in i'll swim
i'll risk my life for you
it seems to me to be no use
to fight my addiction to
come come come comin' down hard
high high high and above me me
kiss like a waterfall
kiss like a waterfall
kiss like a waterfall
oh oh
my declaration of love
I don't wanna stay in. i think I need an asprin. i am always going out. it's like a boarding house.
sometimes you come too. but i don't invite you. ‘cause i never cared when i had you here.
you'll be sorry when I’m gone you use to say.
i never heard you till you went away and now...
My declaration of love is loud and clear since we're broken up. my declaration of love.
i gotta win you back. it's like i'm smoking crack. say words you wanna hear and promising they're real.
together once again, leaves you wondering when, when i'm coming home or calling on the phone.
My declaration of love is loud and clear since we're broken up. my declaration of love. next time we were apart i got your name tatood on my heart cause i miss you and i wanna kiss you.
and win you back (x6) yeah
My declaration of love is loud and clear since we're broken up. my declaration of love.
My declaration of love is so so so so wrapped up in you. i wish you loved me too.
"Thinking About You"
i'm watching tv with dirty hair now and thinking about you.
not doing my wash or washing dishes, just thinking about you.
it's hard to get up. i just keep calling that same old take out menu.
i'm eatin' with my eyes closed and lyin' in my bed and thinking about you
i can't seem to do too much of anything else, oh yeah.
i wish you were here, then things would be swell.
walking the dog, out in my pajamas and thinking about you
wearing two day oul eye shadow in the sun on my stoop and thinking about you.
it's good to get out of the house but it's so hard to groom.
combing the knots out and chipping polish off my nails and thinking about you.
my freinds are teasing me because i'm such an awful mess, oh yeah.
i'm laughing too cause it's my only rest from...
thinking about you got me thinking maybe what i'm going through doesn't all have to do with you.
so i took a shower and for an hour, i didn't once think about you.
sometines i wish it was 1976 and i was this shiney and new, oh yeah.
sometimes i wish things weren't like this and i wasn't stuck here just singing about you.
i know i'm being dumb and macho and i know it's time to let go.
these days i got no obligations. i can do anything i wanna do.
livin' the high life i can have one evry night, a new good-lookin' sweetheart or two.
i'm getting better at being a forgetter but i must admit the truth.
sometimes at night i'll be lyin' in my bed and i still think of you.
once in a while lyin' with my eyes close i still think of you.
This Bird has Flown
One day I found a bird on my way
Summertime, I thought I’d make him mine
No longer wild but tame
I gave that bird a name
Dark night, that bird would sing instead of fly
Sad song, I left the cage open now he’s gone
It came as no surprise when I opened up my eyes
That
This bird has flown
This bird has flown
I won’t cry even though we never said goodbye
I found out that’s not what my love is all about
I was just walking home
Eating an ice cream cone
Mmmm and
This bird’s flown
This bird’s flown
And I can see him there in the blue blue air
My little cherry cherry, it’s all so temporary
Hey hey hey
This bird has flown
This bird has flown
This bird has flown
This bird has flown
I Ask Myself
I thought that you were mine but I was wrong again like every other time
I thought I was your girl but I was living in a make believe world
And I ask myself how many I have been a fool before I ask myself how many more
Cause I thought you loved me true, you said you did and I believe you
And you said you were coming back, you changed your mind baby then you packed
And I ask myself how many I have been a fool before I ask myself how many more
Our love is history, gone for good just like you and me
Our love is going gone, the record over like a played out song
And I ask myself if my heat will open up again I ask myself not if but when
I ask myself how many I have been a fool before I ask myself how many more
Gold and Catholic
I got your necklace on it’s gold and its catholic
its funny how I care about things I don’t even believe in
It’s getting late I gotta go to bed before the sunrise
And it feels like one million years is not enough time
‘caues in the end I never let go of your hand
I wanted you to know what I beleieved was true and to understand
I’m through with telling you it doesn’t hurt
And it feels like one million years just made it worse
yeah it feels like one million years just made it worse
just made it worse
I got your picture on my mind like a snapshot, like one I stole
I keep it with me all the time in the pocket next to my heart
I don’t need to take it out to remember what you look like
And it feels like one million years is not enough time
yeah it feels like one million years is not enough time
is not enough time
I wish I was a race horse
And ran around in circles fast as I could without any thought
All the flowers coming in would be because I won,
yeah it feels like one million years just ain’t enough
I got your necklace on it’s gold and its catholic
its funny how I care about things I don’t even believe in
It’s getting late the sun is coming up behind the new york city skyline
yeah it feels like one million years is not enough time
not enough time
yeah it feels like one million years is not enough time
not enough time
Coal Miner's Lullabye
I wish i was a coal miner digging in a mine, then I’d be with you darling all the time
When the work got long I’d sing you this song
We could have a baby pretty as could be, dress her up on Sunday and go for rides like family
When she cried I’d sing this lullaby
Rock a bye baby cradle and all, I’ll be there to catch you if you fall
When we get old funny looking and grey, you could tell me things two times but I’d still listen anyway
Drinking tea under the moon old man I’ll sing you this tune
I never had a mom, I never had a dad, I got a long boring list of the things I never had
But boring lists mean nothing when you get to sing
That long list ain't too long cause I got a song
