she suddenly appeared at the baroom door
the music was rockin vibratin the floor
everybody standin round lookin for love
rows of drunken eyes sizing her up

she looked nothing like the weekend crew
I approached her got myself introduced
offered her a drink she didn't say no
we started talkin and her innocence glowed

build:
We were drowning in the sea of sound
music and laughter, voices all around
the lights like water colors pouring down
her eyes full of wonder her soul out of bounds

chorus:
Well, I never felt like that before
Can't remember when I wanted love more
I knew the night demons and how they decieve
I wanted to save her from herself and for me.....

Woo I never felt like that before.
Can't remember when I wanted love more.


She left with me to go back to my place
I saw the jealousy form on the face
of the victims of loneliness left behind
patrons to the church of booze divine

she was like a siren with virtue hid away
like a genie from the lamp of forever escaped
she talked like an angel weaving dream stories
then smiled softly said I'd know in the morning

build:
I could feel the whole earth spin everywhere
when I slipped into slumber stroking her hair
When I awoke realized she wasn't there
I knew she never had been but I didn't care

Cause I never felt like that before
can't remember when I wanted love more
I knew the night demons and how they decieve
I wanted to save her from herself and for me

Wooo I never felt like that before
Can't remember when I wanted love more....uuumm
Never felt like that before......

Such a pretty song you have written here,
one to play over and over.

Love your music ethome~

could almost hear it

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Have you put music to it? I'd love to hear that...If you do, let me know! I wanna hear!!!!
