We got to know each other by fortune
my father her mother and fate
they were older lovers seekin marriage
we were thrown together that way
and I got to know her gentle beauty
cause I got to see her everyday
and though she was my stepsister
I knew I'd never be the same

So I told her what I was thinkin
and she stared at me cool and hard
her wide eyes circled by her golden hair
thrilled me as I spoke my part

chorus:
"Do you think this is wrong Sherry
Do you think that I'm outa line
I've fallen in love with you Sherry
seems nothin's gonna change my mind"

Well she walked away from me slowly
but she looked back from the stairway
gave me a quick grin and crossed her arms
I thought my beatin heart would break
And I froze as she kept lookin at me
The air became solemn as a wake
I said "I know we ain't kin and this ain't a sin"
Lord she never had a thing to say.

chorus:
"Do you think this is wrong Sherry
Do you think that I'm outa line
I've fallen in love with you Sherry
seems nothin's gonna cahnge my mind

well we finally got round to talkin
she took my hand and said she knew
she had studied my eyes when she passed close by
they'd given her more than a clue
said she'd shared a fire with a college mate
but he'd run off with someone new
so she came home to her mother's arms
I'd have to wait till the pain subdued

chorus:
"Do you think this is wrong Sherry
Do you think that I'm outa line
I've fallen in love with you Sherry
seems nothin's gonna change my mind"

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

(big hugggsssss) Oh Eric, this is a wonderful re-write, I can understand how hard it must be to lose someone so young like that as I can never imagine losing my angel Joanna, this is a compassionate song of love waiting to grow! (sigh) I love it, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Beautiful song Eric. Well done
