"It was fun writing a song for piano, but writing it on a guitar.  Since I can't play piano, it was a thrill to hear Irwin bang it out for the first time." KB 

 

She says she's from the city 

But he knows that's not true 

'Cause she came down on angel wings 

Out of the blue 

She brings him things that he can't buy 

Like light and wind, and rain 

She brings a child 

And he is born again 

 

He is lost, she is the way 

He is darkness, she's the break of day 

When he's lying there, dying there 

And his world's been blown apart 

She is life, she is the heart 

 

She's a Botticelli 

A breathing masterpiece 

She can lift him up on high 

Or bring him to his knees 

When he's falling through the clouds 

Just falling to the ground 

Her arms are like a parachute 

And together they go down 

They go down 

 

He is lost, she is the way 

He is darkness, she's the break of day 

When he's lying there, dying there 

And his world's been blown apart 

She is life, she is the heart
