Lyrics

Tinah by Justine Willis copyright 2000, 2010

Hey Hey Hey Hey
Where have you been
Under the moonlight that
Kisses your skin
She don't see nothing but
Cornflower blue
So many lovers
Too many, too few

Hey Hey Hey Hey
With sparrow's first call
She rides the sunrise to the
Start of the Fall
She don't hear nothing but
Water's first wave
But for the past
She won't pretend to be brave

(Chorus)
And her eyes are flashing
From red in to green with
Pictures so pretty
I want you, I want you
I want you, I do
I want you, I want you, I do...

Hey Hey Hey Hey
The clock plays her hand
She tries to be good to make
Happy the man
Diamonds and sapphires
Imprison her wrists
She don't feel nothing
She's waiting for this

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Dancing down, dancing down
Fireflies meet
Ring around, sing around
Rosy so sweet
Kick the can, skip the rope
Spin til you fall, and
Never tell, never tell
Never tell a soul...

Hey Hey Hey Hey
Where branches run wild
The heart of a woman
And the soul of a child
She don't see nothing but
Indigo skies
Now you are free
Don't look back, don't ask why

(Chorus)

She don't see nothing but
Indigo skies
Now you are free
Don't look back, don't ask why
Now you are free
Don't look back
Don't ask why
