UNTITLED I halfway home to Isabel
Her hair was the color of a warm July night
A pirates bounty…A sailor’s delight
She was graceful and sweet when she smiled at me
Like an old fashioned waltz
Like honey from the bee
Tell me where did she go
Tell me where does she stay
Does her garden still grow
Where do her children play
I was halfway home to Isabel
When I climbed some silly tree
I was halfway home to Isabel
That’s as far as I can see
I remember when, she would lay in my arms
With all of her lovin’ with all of her charms
Her soft country eyes were pretty as can be
Her wild morning kisses
Rainin” all over me
Tell me why did she leave
Tell me why did I stay
I can hardly believe
That she has gone away
I was halfway home to Isabel
When I climbed some silly tree
I was halfway home to Isabel
That’s as far as I can see
Perhaps I’ll write a long love letter
Send it out today
Or fold it in my pocket
Write another……Throw them both away
Her arms filled with flowers, she finds them everywhere
The secret of their colors, whisper in her hair
She could sing, she could dance, she was my lullaby
Rockabye my baby
Rock rock rock rockabye
Tell me what have I done
Tell me what should I do
You are the only one
I’m still in love with you
I was halfway home to Isabel
When I climbed some silly tree
I was halfway home to Isabel
That’s as far as I can see
evolution of tina: Out of The Ruins
Tina Turner, "We Don’t Need Another Hero" (1985)
Out of the ruins, out from the wreckage
Can’t make the same mistakes this time
We are the children, the last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change?
Living under the fear, till nothing else remains
We don’t need another hero,
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome…
