Guitarist Bonnie on Keyboard
A friend of mine she cries at night
And she calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes
And she wants one of her own
She's waited long enough she says
And still she can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose and it tears her up inside
She's scared, scared she'll run out of time
And she calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes
And she wants one of her own
She's waited long enough she says
And still she can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose and it tears her up inside
She's scared, scared she'll run out of time
I see my folks, they're getting old
And I watch their bodies change
I know they see the same in me
And it makes us both feel strange
No matter how you tell yourself
It's what we all go through
Those lies are pretty hard to take
When they're staring' back at you
And I watch their bodies change
I know they see the same in me
And it makes us both feel strange
No matter how you tell yourself
It's what we all go through
Those lies are pretty hard to take
When they're staring' back at you
Scared to run out of time
When did the choices get so hard?
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to waste
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to waste
Scared to run out of time
Just when I thought I'd had enough
And all my tears were shed
No promise left unbroken
There were no painful words unsaid
You came along and showed me
How to leave it all behind
You opened up my heart again
And then much to my surprise
And all my tears were shed
No promise left unbroken
There were no painful words unsaid
You came along and showed me
How to leave it all behind
You opened up my heart again
And then much to my surprise
I found love, baby
Love in the nick of time
Love in the nick of time
I found love, darling
Love in the nick of time
Love in the nick of time
I found love, baby
Love in the nick of time
Love in the nick of time

I watched a Democrat political convention on TV one time and saw babies everywhere, but didn't want one.
ReplyDeleteHeLa - me too :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post. Enjoy when you bring these "forgotten" musicians to your reader's attention. They are artists whose songs I remember (most of them anyway)and music it would not occur to me to look up on YouTube to re-enjoy. BWT, we used HeLa cells in lab work when I was a biology (zoology to be more precise) major at Purdue.
ReplyDeleteThanks BB; and, I think that many biology folks have used HeLa cells somewhere along the line. There is now a book about the Lacks clan - haven't read it but know the gist.
