Crow Girls

My nails painted black and my nose has a ring
I am young, out for fun, living life on the wing
And my buddies are wild, yeah, we hang in a crowd
We are looking for action, we're bold, we are loud
Yeah we're raucous, they knock us, they say we're bad luck
Just a pest with a nest but we don't give a …
Cause we're flyin', cryin' in that crow-crazy way
Tell me, who is more free at the end of the day?
Chorus:
One stands for sorrow, two bring you mirth
Three for a wedding, four for a birth
Five bring you silver, six give you gold
Seven, a secret never to be told
Tell me baby, have you seen a crow girl like me
Now shifting, now lifting away on that breeze
Does it make your heart long for those black shiny wings
To rise up in the sky, to give life to your dreams
Chorus
Yeah we're raucous, they knock us, they say we're bad luck
Just a pest with a nest but we don't give a …
Cause we're flyin', we're cryin' in that crow-crazy way
Tell me, who is more free at the end of the day?
Bridge:
Eight are for heaven, nine stand for hell
Ten for the devil, or so they do tell
So the next time you see me, remember my song
When you see me a-sailing on wings black and long
Keep your feet planted firm on the ground that you know
But let your spirit go soaring with me, with the crow
Let your spirit go soaring with me, with the crow.

In a Heartbeat

Tell me babe, how did I find you
Oh did fate lay her sweet hand on me
And how, how does a love so true
Hold onto its mystery
Chorus:
I can't explain how destiny came
And placed us in a life so sweet
No angel above can say how we found love
It just happened in a heartbeat
Those years speed by so quickly
Well I guess that's just the nature of time
But I know so absolutely
Your heart will always be mine
Chorus
Bridge:
We know when the wind blows
That a sad heart can sometimes go astray
But sunshine follows rain and love can heal any pain
In a heartbeat, two hearts will find their way
Time may last forever
Stretch into eternity
But tomorrow just doesn't matter
'Cause today is all that we need
Chorus

Sideways Turned 'Round
03:32
|

|
Off, on, baby, push, pull, maybe
This is crazy, I'm so scared baby
It's back, forth, up, down, sideways, turned 'round
Stop and start up again
Chorus:
Why, why does my heart fly, then drop like a stone
Whoa, whoa, I can't let go
It's got me, caught me, it's right on top of me
Pierced me right to the bone
Don't stop, don't go, say yes, say no
Searching for a sign on this tightrope line
So far to fall, one step, lose all
On the edge of quicksand
Chorus
Will I, won't I, do I, don't I
Get off this ride, I'm like a butterfly
Good girl, bad girl, heart's all a-whirl
There's just no place to land
Chorus
Thrill me, kill me, chill me, fill me
This elation, this contemplation
Has me cart-wheeling, sends me reeling
How do I turn the page
Chorus
