As the wine rolls past our teeth
I'm spilling out my guts
And I blame it all on these
These two times I tried to trust
But that's no excuse
My hard times have come and gone
And I've made some kind of truce
Surely it won't last long
I've looked you in the face
Said, "I'm out of my mind."
You put me in my place
So for now I'm trying to find
The proper words to use
'Cause I'd hate to tell a lie
And this one rings so true
For now I'll stay here standing by
Lips pursed, eyes down, half lost
So kiss me while you can
'Cause soon I'll say some words you can't understand
And it's only getting worse
So save yourself, my dear
Try as I may, I can't say
What you'd like to hear
I'd leave you every day

What do I say? I love Amanda. She's inspirational, not just her music but her whole personality! This album is fun, serious, heartwarming and inspirational spacehawk.mp3

This album hits my heart in just the right way. Such beautiful lyrics, and melodies mixed in with a collection of odd and playful tunes that conjure images of circuses and cabaret.

Sweet, melancholy song (already a big plus! :-), but uplifting in the lyrics and underlying spirit. It has a kind of a best-of-both-worlds situation going. Real neat! Comics&Yoga
