We got to know each other by fortune
my father her mother and fate
they were older lovers wanting 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 deep and dark
her wide eyes circled by her golden hair
gave a look that thrilled my heart

chorus:
"Do you think that I'm crazy Sherry
Do you think that I'm outa line
cause I fell in love with you Sherry
and nothin's gonna change my mind"

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 that I'm crazy Sherry
Do you think that I'm outa line
cause I fell in love with you Sherry
and nothin's gonna change my mind"

well we finally got round to talkin
she took my hand and told me she knew
she had studied my eyes when she passed close by
they'd given her more than a clue
said she shared a fire with a college mate
and she got scorched by the flame
but he'd run off and left her weak
and she needed time to kill the pain

chorus:
"Do you think that I'm crazy Sherry
Do you think that I'm outa line
cause I fell in love with you Sherry
and 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

Now, this is the kind of song that makes millions on the Country Charts. LOL I like it and would like to hear the music. Thanks for sharing your song with us.

Hugs,
Ethel

May love and light always shine upon you!
