as promised, some lyrics from my newly discovered current favorite album... you have to hear the songs, to really appreciate the beauty. THE CHOIR - WIDE EYED WONDER - produced 1989. I know every single guitar solo, and sound on this album. And it is so sentimental, because it brings back memories from so long ago, but at the same time has a new rich significance.

set my guitar on fire -
with a long-stemmed match
dance while it burns
and laugh when it turns to ash
i would torch everything to keep you warm
i would do anything to keep you from harm

i would do anything
to cover you body and soul, girl
i would give everything in the world
to cover you, to cover you

walk down a dark street
naked on a winter night
run from the law
like the sunday I saw the light
to defend your spirit I would go to war
i would chase the devil to jehovah's door

i would do anything
to cover you body and soul, girl
i would give everything in the world
to cover you
i would do anything
to wrap you up tight on a cold night
i would give everything that I have
to cover you, to cover you

wide-eyed wonder girl
starin' Into the sky, wonderin' why
it's a good, great world
but it turns around
nevermind the ground

look up high, stars above
please don't cry, father's love
hold on tight to his hand
dream tonight, understand

wide-eyed wonder girl
starin' into the sky, wonderin' why
it's a good, great world
but it turns around
nevermind the ground

look up high, dancing bear
please don't cry, daddy's prayer
hold on tight to my hand
dream tonight, wonderland

wide-eyed wonder girl
starin' into the sky, wonderin' why
it's a good, great world
but it turns, you'll see
so hold on tight to me...

WHEN SHE SEES ME

i'll wait outside a moment
you watch the clock on the wall
listen closely, i'll say when
sing "london bridge is falling"
no change at all
now count the beats when i come in

listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me

she never minds the weather
she likes the flashes of light
i say "love, beware black skies"
she's not afraid of winter
or thunderous nights
she follows rainbows in my eyes

listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me

the minute hand on the seven
second hand on the three

listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats

we hold each other so close
we dance around and around
she likes the music that i play
she wants to bust out laughing
she's learnin' how
she wonders if i'm home to stay

listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me

the minute hand on the eight now
a hundred and fifty-three

listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me
listen how fast my little girl's heart beats
when she sees me...
