about

Written by annA rydeR in May 1999

lyrics

My name it is secret, my name it is joy
My name it is silence, I’m saving it all for the boy
Your name it is everyone’s, your name it is love
Your name it is music and it fits my hand like a glove

Your eyes they are golden and my eyes they are blue
You say they are beautiful and I think yours are too
My words are useless except when they’re in a song
Your words are wonderful, you know just where they all come from

I AM STILL A LEARNER
LIVING MY LIFE ON SOME BACK BURNER
BUT YOU TURNED MY HEAT UP BABY
YES YOU REALLY TURNED ME ON
I CAN THINK OF NOTHING MORE FINE
THAN TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH THIS BOY OF MINE
HE CAN COME AROUND ANYTIME – HE CAN COME ALONG

Your hands they are gentle, your hands they are strong
My hands are all skin and bone but my fingers know how to make a song
Your voice is the wing of a bird and it makes me cry
My voice is a voice unheard but everybody sees it fly

I AM STILL….

Do- do do do do…

My heart it is clockwork, my heart it is flames
My heart it is melting ice like all my many names
Your heart is a story – your heart is in your hand
Your heart is a bowl of tears
But it’s the heart of a boy in the heart of a man

I AM STILL…
