Bend, little willow, wind’s gonna blow you
Hard and cold tonight
Life, as it happens, nobody warns you
Willow, hold on tight
“Every Grain Of Sand”
“Take My Breath Away”
Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching every motion
In this foolish lover’s game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there’s a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Talking to my angel ~ Melissa Etheridge
