Blue Rodeo - Sheba lyrics
[Blue Rodeo - Sheba lyrics]
Well, she walks down the busiest
Streets like an African Queen
And she makes a good living
From strangers wherever she's been
She's always got a drink on somebody's bill
And lives in a house up on a hill
And nobody knows when she's coming
They know that she will
It's a long
Long way we've come from a darker day
Well, they took all the fun out of it
But people like it that way
There are things on the news
Now testing your faith
Maybe it's good, and maybe it ain't
Everybody once was a sinner
And now they're all saints
I know i think about it all the time though
There's nothing really for me to hold on to
I'm taking the days as they come
But, I'm right here
Stuck between a dream and a nightmare
I'm praying for the day when
It all comes clear
I'm barely just holding my ground
'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down
Well, she draws out the rags
And riches wherever she goes
And she knows what it's like to
Live out in Emperor's clothes
She's practiced in the arts of magic and such
Ancient blue eyes, electric touch
I got to look away when I see her
It hurts me so much
Well, I know
I think about it all the time though
There's nothing really for me to hold on to
I'm taking the days as they come
I'm right here
Stuck between a dream and a nightmare
I'm praying for the day when
It all comes clear
I'm barely just holding my ground
'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down
'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down
Streets like an African Queen
And she makes a good living
From strangers wherever she's been
She's always got a drink on somebody's bill
And lives in a house up on a hill
And nobody knows when she's coming
They know that she will
It's a long
Long way we've come from a darker day
Well, they took all the fun out of it
But people like it that way
There are things on the news
Now testing your faith
Maybe it's good, and maybe it ain't
Everybody once was a sinner
And now they're all saints
I know i think about it all the time though
There's nothing really for me to hold on to
I'm taking the days as they come
But, I'm right here
Stuck between a dream and a nightmare
I'm praying for the day when
It all comes clear
I'm barely just holding my ground
'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down
Well, she draws out the rags
And riches wherever she goes
And she knows what it's like to
Live out in Emperor's clothes
She's practiced in the arts of magic and such
Ancient blue eyes, electric touch
I got to look away when I see her
It hurts me so much
Well, I know
I think about it all the time though
There's nothing really for me to hold on to
I'm taking the days as they come
I'm right here
Stuck between a dream and a nightmare
I'm praying for the day when
It all comes clear
I'm barely just holding my ground
'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down
'Til Sheba comes down 'Til Sheba comes down
