(Vince Bell)



Well, I've listened to the words you lovers speak

The sounds of the lover's song

And I've dreamed all the dreams a wayward girl dreams

In a thousand places gone

Dallas was my late night out

Radcliffe's served to roust me out

And Houston lay like Cleveland with the color removed

And all I ever wanted

Was to wander and be wooed

Like a Woman of the Phoenix

A welcomed Waterloo



I've seen the sun blaze the breast of the countryside

I've seen her huddled in a winter freeze

And I've run cross paths of a thousand lives

Among the cactus and the white birch trees

Avloc ran a waterfront bar

Vito, he was the king of thieves

And Michael was a rock'n roll hood from the Odessa plains

Now, all of them were my kind

Wild and damn near free

But, a Woman of the Phoenix is the medicine they need
