We got to know each other by fortune my father her mother and fate they got married and settled we got thrown together that way I got to know her nature I got to see her gentle ways though she was a stepsister I told her how I felt one day chorus: "I said do you think that I'm crazy Sherry Do you think that I'm outa line cause I'm fallin in love with you Sherry seems nothin's gonna change my mind" she walked away from me slowly but she turned to study my face gave me a grin and crossed her arms I could feel my beatin heart shake I spoke as she looked right through me The air as still as a wake "we ain't kin so this ain't 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'm fallin in love with you Sherry seems nothin's gonna change my mind" well we finally got round to talkin she took my hand and told me she knew studied my eyes when I'd pass by they'd given her more than a clue said she shared a fire with a lover and got scorched by the flame cause he ran off with another only time would cover the pain chorus: "Do you think that I'm crazy Sherry Do you think that I'm outa line cause I'm fallin in love with you Sherry seems nothin's gonna change my mind" Now some days in the evening Outside I can hear her voice In the little son she gave me Playin with the other boys. The river of love stopped flowing When Gehrig took away our choice Before the final sleep she told me She never knew a greater joy chorus: "Do you think that I'm crazy Sherry Do you think that I'm outa line cause I'm fallin in love with you Sherry seems nothin's gonna change my mind" [This message has been edited by ethome (01-13-2006 10:03 PM).] |

Nope! I don't think you "pushed the envelope too far"! I liked the sass and flash and the achey-breaky, yearnin'-burnin' kinda theme! I would imagine that your words would sound sensational put to your music! I'd love to hear it! Linda |

Eric Love the song and the heartbreak theme. As always I can hear the melody in my head when I read you. |

I didn't particularly like achy breaky heart, but this has the same sense of unfinished business and I like this a lot. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I love it too and I pray it's not true. Gehrig's is a thief. |
