Wounded By Thorns, Healed By The Rose

 

 

Don't Talk by Melody Gardot

Wounded By Thorns, Healed By The Rose

She was wounded by the thorns of loving

While trying to hold onto the rose

Listening to lies coming out of her head

That only the heart really knows.

Restless raindrops came pouring down

From vast and violent starless skies

He walked alone through teeming tears

Telling himself truth and lies.

Love flew by and heard the lies

Whispering through the stormy weather

Saw the woman, saw the man

And brought the two lost souls together.

Years of failing all the tests

Always wanting to just belong

Trying their best to get it right

But never failing to get it wrong.

The two of them walking a lonely road

While the clouds let loose above

Their hands touched when their eyes met

Standing, drowning in streams of love.

'Twas supernatural the night we met

Choreographed by God himself

As wounds were healed and lies revealed

By truth till there was no lie left.

The rose of love, of life devoid

Came then to life by love's decree

Sprang forth and watered by our tears

Bloomed inside you and inside me.

We'd never met and yet we knew

Each other's dreams, each other's goals

Without one proof we knew the truth

That had been there waiting in our souls.

Questions answered, questions asked

Our hearts knew what our heads could not

We found ourselves in a tale of wonder

Complete with people, place and plot.

How magical when love appears

When hope is lost and then reborn

On the darkest night of our whole lives

And replaced by the joy of a glorious morn.

The night, a song that lovers sing

The rain, the wine that quenches dirt

The thorns, those wounds that come from loving

The rose, the love that heals the hurt.

Need Your Love So Bad (but in a good way)

soundtrack to write.  Loop it!

Need Your Love So Bad

She's sitting at the bar alone

Her hand around a glass

Looking like a movie star

With elegance and class.

She doesn't see me watching

Or if she does, ignores

My hungry stare at her lips, her hair

And wanting to see more.

That red dress fits her contours

Like she was poured in it

Those legs, they take my breath away

And give my loins a fit.

I finish off my white wine

And order something else

That white wine isn't cutting it

So keep it on the shelf.

Bring me some good Crown Royal

Maybe a Sloe Gin Fizz

I've to get my courage up

I've got to finish this.

Look at all that long black hair

Look at those big brown eyes

Look at those luscious sweet red lips

And at those creamy thighs.

I didn't know when I walked in

This little bar tonight

That I would lose my heart and soul

To that girl that shines so bright.

She shifts around now in her seat

And quickly looks around

The band is gearing up to play

That smoky bluesy sound.

I down my drink, get to my feet

And saunter toward the bar

But other soldiers beat me there

Like they're engaged in war.

She looks at them with discerning eyes

And smiles a smile so sweet

Nods at one fine sharp dressed man

And gets then to her feet.

I watch her as she walks with him

Up to the dim dance floor

And they engage in a dance so hot

It melts that barroom floor.

I can't believe my loveless eyes

As I move back to my chair

I had no chance to have that dance

What was I doing there?

Look at the way she moves her hips

How she tosses her hair around

How she licks her lips and her fingertips

On his back, run up and down.

He tries to make a move on her

As his hands slide down her back

Down to her hips and she parts her lips

And stops him in his tracks.

"Uh-uh!" she says  and points her finger

Into his startled face

And no matter what he tries to do

She puts him in his place.

I am so pleased at what I see

And I hide my face and smile

I  like the way she handles him

I like her sense and style.

I wonder if she'll do the same

To me if I get fresh

i wonder if I'll get a turn

And who will be her next.

But it's not me, that much is sure

So i settle back to learn

What I might use to turn her head

And make that sweet thing burn.

My body turns to traitor

And soon i lose control

All night i watch her dancing there

While i seek to reach my goal.

She walks by me back to the back

And I want so much to follow

But I can't move my frozen feet

Or lift my glass to swallow.

Her perfume fills my nostrils

With a fragrance  oh, so rare

And I breathe her in deep in my lungs

As her perfume lingers there.

I pay the band to play my song

Perhaps they'll dedicate

It just to her from the man in black

And I can hardly wait.

My heart beats like a school boy's

My chance, it comes at last

They dedicate the song to her

And I hear her gasp.

She turns to look in my direction

And I raise my glass and wink

And she looks away like i wasn't there

And my poor heart starts to sink.

I need your love so bad, girl

The blues man sings it loud

Give it up! he growls at her

With approval from the crowd.

And I sit in hope and fear of failure

Looking at that frame so fine

Wishing I could win her heart

Wishing she was mine.

She flirts with some tall rich tycoon

She laughs a silky laugh

She lets him kiss her lovely throat

And my heart tears in half.

I cannot stand the torture

I cannot stand the fear

I wonder how I'll walk away

And why I came in here.

That goddess is out of my league

What made me think I'd win

She is the kind that can take her time

And her pick of all the men.

I'm just a no one, no one needs

I have not much to give

But how I'd love to have her be

The reason that I live.

i watch her slip off her red shoes

And rub her tender feet

She sighs a sigh that makes me cry

Hell, even her sigh is sweet!

I'd love to have her in my arms

My car, my room, my bed

I'd kiss her from her dancing toes

To the top of her sexy head.

I'd pour my love out on that girl

I'd make her feel so nice

But who am I fooling, that girl won't even

Look at this mad man twice!

I pay my tab and get to my feet

I won't allow myself to look

For I know the crowd is hovering there

And reading her like a book.

I feel so lonely and defeated

As I stumble to the door

Walk out into the cold night air

Not caring any more.

I find my car in the parking lot

The old one bent and blue

And my eyes behold a sight that I

Cannot believe is true.

She's leaning there upon the car

As plain as plain can be

And she says, No, I will not come with you

But you're going home with me.

I pinch myself to see if I'm dead 

I don't believe the state I'm in

She leads me round my car and opens

The door to a Mercedes Benz.

We drive up in the movie star hills

Up to a steel gray gate

It opens with her secret code

And man, I feel so great.

She kisses me upon the lips

And pulls me to her arms

And I give in to sex and sin

Fall victim to her charms.

You're the man for me, she whispers low

I've prayed to God above

To send me someone just like you

Man, I've got to have your love.

And the blues song fills the cold night air

As cold champagne fills my cup

And I reach to take my fill of her....

And, oh damn, then I wake up!!!!
