lyrics

She stands like a waterfall,
in the shelter of my ears,
whenever I hear her voice,
it's the sound of water that I hear.

Oh, gasoline summer,
red moon on the rise,
I saw Jerusalem burning,
in her eyes.

She's fire and water,
coursing through my viens,
she's neither one or the other,
if you know what I mean.

Dark night of the soul,
that ain't no joke.
I might've been there once myself,
nearly beyond hope.

All softness and wonder,
when she draws near,
with her hand held high,
saying do not fear.

She's fire and water,
coursing through my viens,
she's neither one or the other,
if you know what I mean.

I heard the news on the tv,
I ran to the fire escape,
but when I got there,
it was too late.

My building was burning,
just like the rest of the street,
and she was asking,
how do you like the heat?

But even in this, my loneliness,
I know that I'm still blessed,
because she's always here beside me,
like a welcome guest.

She's fire and water,
coursing through my viens,
she's neither one or the other,
if you know what I mean.

She's fire and water,
coursing through my viens,
she's neither one or the other,
if you know what I mean.

Albedo
by Tyrella

You can't just sit down and write songs like these. You have to wrestle with the angel first. Tyrella has done that- the proof is the songs on Albedo. He is a master songwriter. Rodney DeCroo
