Belladonna

Belladonna henna vapor incense and wine
colors so bright and clear
my little world mine all mine
toil and trouble boil and bubble
remembering the good times and bad
when I’m in the ground
they’ll say what a good time he had
Cried my tears in the rain
laughed out loud
I know who I am
and why I R here
I never forget tell
those who are close and dear
how much I love them
and why I want them near
Always will you be in my dreams
Belladonna henna colors of the rainbow
How much I love you you’ll never know
Tried so hard to explain
through the tears in the falling rain
Honey I gotta go it’s the last plane
The people far away are waiting
anticipating

to see me play
hear what I have to say
maybe even brighten there day
bright lights burn my face

my eyes sting from sweat

I love every minute I sing

and wouldn’t change a thing
I choose to be here

with purpose and a use

singing songs of love and lies

about things enjoy and despise

this is who I am

and what makes me tick

I’m just me nothing slick

this is what I do for a living
giving   giving    giving
this is my story

plenty of heartache

very little glory

scores to write dreams to sell

mine and mine alone to tell
