Saved By a Mermaid

Well I was going down for the third time
In the deep blue sea after our ship caught
Fire mysteriously then I felt a hand taking
Mine and a voice saying everything's gonna
Be ok, everything’s gonna be fine, I heard your
S.o.s and cries of distress, lucky for you I
Just happened to be in the neighborhood
Man in gold dangling things and white,
Man with eyes as dark as the night...
No you are not dreaming, I am for real
I am what you humans and sailors call a
Mythical sirens but look at me and tell me
Do I resemble some stupid sea lion, dolphin
Or seal, I don't think so, get real...
Soon tho you will wake up on the nearest
Distant shore, you’ll think it was just all a dream
From the bump on your head and from loosing
Consciousness but I guess that's for the best,
The best for both of us...
For they'll think you've lost your marbles and
Call you a mad man and I'm not allowed or supposed
To interfere with the fate of humans you understand
But hence from this day forward every time you close
Your eyes I'll be there, you will remember the feel
Of my soft silky skin and the taste of my forbidden fruits
You will recall the ecstasy you knew in the deepest
Depths and all the magic that was there all around you
Everywhere…
Who knows maybe someday we'll meet again, if or when
You ever return to the sea and maybe the next time
I'll take you to my water world to forever live with me
Until then just keep our little secret and keep on
Believing, keep on believing in me...
One more kiss before I leave and return back to the sea
Just remember this day, always...
The day your imperial ship sank, you were saved...
SAVED BY A MERMAID!

I Get a Kick Outta All That Kinky Stuff

Well and I Get A Kick Outta All That Kinky Stuff
You do to me, the way you blow and stick your tongue
In my ears, the way you spank me and make me
Beg for more, the way you pour honey all over my body
And lick me clean ooh wee well I Get a Kick Outta
All That Kinky Stuff you do to me, the way you kiss
And bite my neck, the way you tickle me 'til I almost
Piss myself, the way you tie me to the bed and run ice
Down my happy trail just sends me into orbit well and
I know you get a kick out of it yourself especially when
You use that toy on me; I swear you get into it as much
As I do...I've never had such an innovated lover before
Ooh wee baby, oooh wee I Get a Kick, I Get a Kick
Outta All That Kinky Stuff you do to me, ooh wee
Ooh wee baby I want more, more, more yeah make
Me sore, I Get a Kick Outta All That Kinky Stuff!

A Real Life Loving Fairy Tale

Well I guess I'm just one in a million few
that still believes in love and the dream
of dreams come true when you wish
upon a lucky star up above...
Well and I wonder why some people
give up on love without giving it a second
chance, maybe they’re still hurting and
broken hearted from a love that never
stood a chance and although I too
have been played the fool I just can't
bring myself to give up on love and
true romance...
A REAL LIFE LOVING FAIRY TALE
the kind that lifts you up to Heaven
from out of the bowels of Hell, the kind
that comes along only once in a lifetime
well and my intuition tells me you're
just a heartbeat away from finding me
sitting here by this old wishing well
dreaming of A REAL LIFE LOVING
FAIRY TALE and happily ever after
just you and I, running hand in hand
through meadows of wild flowers and
butterflies, underneath a big and beautiful
rainbow in the summer sky well I close
my eyes and that gives me hope that
there's someone for everyone, A REAL
LIFE LOVING FAIRY TALE and all will
be well that ends well...
so I'll wait forever or until you come true
can't you hear me singing your song all
the day and night time too, my heart a
calling out to you...
sitting here by this old wishing well and
dreaming of A REAL LIFE LOVING FAIRY
TALE...
we will be happily ever after just you and
me...
living the dream, A REAL LIFE LOVING 
FAIRY TALE...
oh I know someday you will come true
and we will live together forever in A REAL
LIFE LOVING FAIRY TALE...
all’s well that ends well, happily ever after
and ours will be a story to tell of A REAL,
A REAL LIFE LOVING FAIRY TALE!

I Will Die For You

Well and if you should come while I am asleep Lord
I want you to know I never meant to fall off the band
Wagon. If I have to live through the 7 year tribulation
And Christian persecution, famine and war I will not
Hide my light under a bushel no, I will stand up and
Proclaim your name...Jesus Christ my Lord and I Will
Die For You.
I will not take the mark of the beast
Never, no not ever... Let 'em kill me if that’s what it
Comes down to I will do whatever I have to do to
Prove my love for you and God even if it means
Being a martyr!
If I'm left behind I want you to know
I never meant to lose my way...Please forgive me Lord
I pray!
If I have to live through the days of terror
And evil I will be strong and steadfast, not giving
Into the devils temptation and I will be a better
Person than I ever was in the past, I will not fear any
Kind of evil in the valley of terror!
If I have to live through the 7 year tribulation and countless
Days of cold bloody wars. I will proclaim your sacred
Name...Christ Jesus My Lord, I will, I Will Die For
You!

You

Oh what I wouldn't give to be loved by YOU
oh what a dream come true ‘cuz YOU just
got that certain something that fascinates
me baby and pleasing YOU would only
please me oh how I wish YOU would
notice me ‘cuz I'd give anything to be loved
by YOU…
Well can't you see it in my eyes or are YOU
just hopelessly blind, surely you're not so
blind to read all the signs or maybe then again
maybe YOU just don't give a damn ‘cuz I am
who I am, still I want YOU oh yes I do...
Oh what I wouldn't give to be loved by YOU
oh what a dream come true ‘cuz YOU just
got that certain something that fascinates
me baby and pleasing YOU would only
please me oh how I wish YOU would
notice me ‘cuz I'd give anything to be loved
by YOU…
Oh ‘cuz I am so crazy about YOU, I pray
someday YOU will want me too, maybe
someday that dream will come true ‘cuz
yes I am just so crazy ‘bout YOU, YOU
and only YOU...
SO Oh what I wouldn't give to be loved by YOU
oh what a dream come true 'cuz YOU just
got that certain something that fascinates
me baby and pleasing YOU would only
please me oh how I wish YOU would
notice me ‘cuz I'd give anything to be loved
by YOU…
Loved, loved by YOU!

A Reason To Hang Around

Well you haven't given me much of a reason these past
few seasons to put my whole heart into this so-called
relationship...well I need to know if you still love
me or not...I Need A Reason To Hang Around I don't 
know what you expect from me anymore and it's been a
long, long time since Heaven could be found...I really
don't want to leave you but you haven't given me much
to stick around for...well I Need A Reason, I Need A
Reason To Hang Around...I used to think you cared and
maybe you still do but we're like strangers livin'
together and for years that's not been anything new...
I used to bend over backwards for you but when it comes
to me it's like an inconvenient when I need you...well
I'm getting tired of you treating me like you do and I
don't know how many tears I can cry...it seems as tho
you think you got me where you want me well baby I’m
this close to saying goodbye...Heavens no more to be
found and I Need A Reason, I Need A Reason To Hang
around!

Win You Over

Well and the day I met you was the day
I heard Angels sing and I was under your
spell in case you couldn't tell, you gave me
a new meaning to the dream of dreams
as my heart lost its self in your sky blue 
eyes...
Oh and I know I could be your friend and
your lover but how do I WIN YOU OVER
I know I could be your one and only one
forever and I know it would be paradise
oh spending all of our time together but
how, how do I WIN YOU OVER...
'Cuz baby I have looked for someone
like you my whole life and I don't need
no fortune teller to tell me this is meant
to be, I can just imagine how it would
feel to kiss you now and hold you tight
lost in your beautiful, beautiful sky blue
eyes...
Oh and I know I could be your friend and
your lover but how do I WIN YOU OVER
I know I could be your one and only one
forever and I know it would be paradise
oh spending all of our time together but
how, how do I WIN YOU OVER...
WIN YOU OVER, WIN YOU OVER!

When I Count My Blessings

When I Count My Blessings I count you twice 'cuz it's
A miracle comes true that you're even a part of my life
I have so much to be thankful for and I thank God
Every day and every night but when I Count My Blessings
Darling I always count you twice...well it's true we
Often get distracted with the world pulling us in many
Different directions but I guess that's life in the
Big city still like a river that always finds its way
To the sea I always find my way back to you, you always
Find your way back to me...love is not taken for
Granted even when it's not said often enough we are one
In the same like an ember to a flame and that's one
Thing I know will never change...I have so much to be
Thankful for and I thank God every day and every night
But When I Count My Blessings I always, I always count
You twice!

The Lost Sea

Well and there is a LOST SEA
Somewhere running through
The crystal caverns down and
Around the foot hills of the
Appalachian Mountains...
I remember some kind of strange
Indian folklore from many lifetimes
Lived before, you look into my eyes
By firelight and you can clearly
See all the tribal signs of mine and
I got this sense of de ja vu all over
Again as voices come whispering to
Me in the wild night wind...
Well I can feel the a strong vibration
Of an ancient and powerful magic
Sense the beginning of creation, in
The shadow of the moon's shadow
As you begin to chant and I enter into
A trance, seeing the faces of the ancestors
And the elders, as the sacred smoke
Rises high up in the midnight sky and
Talking to me as if they were alive...
Well it's the ceremony of Sequoya
And my re-initiation into the secret
Indian nation as raven's circle my head
In a giant star like formation...
Somewhere down and around the
The hallowed grounds of a crystal cavern
Somewhere under the foothills of
The Appalachian Mountains...
Well I am led down now to the LOST SEA
And reborn an honorary wet winged
Cherokee!

You Never Said Goodbye

Not so long ago we were so in love
There was nothing on God's 
Green Earth I wouldn't do for you
And I could tell just by looking
Into your eyes your heart was
So full of love for me and forever
Together wouldn't be long enough
For the both of us...well it had to
Be destiny and I believe it still
Meant to be even tho it's been
Quite a while now since was
The last time I did hear from you
But my intuition tells me one
Day you'll be back 'cuz I know,
I know true love never dies and
You Never Said Goodbye but
I understand you're trapped
Right now in an estranged
Relationship you never meant
To get caught up in still I 
Believe we've yet to see our
End 'cuz true love never dies
And no, no You Never Said 
Goodbye!
