Lyrics: Norman Martinez

lyrics

She’s the one I’m with now, but someday I’ll be gone.
I could stay with her till we both see the dawn yeah.
My eyes in wonder as her tears fall to the sea.
My eyes in wonder as the skies are filling me yeah.
I would take her to where only two can share, and I'm
not the only one who, can show that they care.

Rolling down like thunder, run you over like a train. I seen
your daddy preaching, we all know he’s insane.
Coming down like a tire iron, gentle like hurricane rain.
Seen your daddy preaching we all know he’s to blame.

I took a storm cloud fishing, we didn’t take too long.
So I took your sister drinking, but we took, a little too long baby.
But we took, a little too long yeah.

I’m the last of your dollars, you’d better make them pay.
When I’m gone to flowers, it done ruin your day.

I took a storm cloud fishing, we didn’t take too long.
So I took your sister drinking, but we did take a little too long baby.
But we took a little too long yeah.
We took a little too long baby.
A little too long.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

Her eyes are burning fire, she put a stake through my heart.
She took a page of wonder, and made my life a bad start.
But I’m wisin’ to her. I got a plan to take her.
Apart I’m a burning fire, she’s my butterfly in flames now.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

Her eyes are burning fire, she put a stake through my heart.
She took a page of wonder, and made my life a bad start.
But I’m wisin’ to her. I got a plan to take her.
Apart I’m a burning fire, she’s my butterfly in flames.

I’m home but I’m not alone.
Your best friend has got a good eye for fire.
I took her to where you wouldn’t go. So come on by cause
I ain’t coming home.

I’m the spider you left alone.
Didn’t think I’d go all the way.
I’m the fire that burnt soft and low.
Till the day you left me alone, all alone.

about

Sights of Sound Pico Rivera, California

Dave and George started this thing in 1983. From 85' to 87' we were lucky to get Norm, Art, and John involved, and we had a great run from 87' to 92'. We're all from the same area of Pico Rivera CA USA. The songs were written and recorded between 85' and 91'. The CD was finally completed in 2002. This project is dedicated to the memory of Norman Martinez, we miss him, and love him dearly. Thanks ... more
