Sheer Lyrical Brilliance

[On Ice]

With all of the critique, I thought we should show some love to our lady from the mountain, our sister of the moon, our Bella Donna with the Wild Heart that's in Your Dreams. Let's focus on her lyrical brilliance and those songs that have made us fans for sooo long it seems. I could write a really long list but these are my standouts. All of these have given me goosebumps at one time or another:

"tell me I'm wrong, I can't believe ya, we've tried a thousand times before, rained on reasons kept us believin' that there might still be more" Races are Run
" And so I follow as friends often do, I care not for love or money and I think she knew that the people still loved her but still they're the most cruel" Sisters of the Moon
"Thunder only happens when it's raining and players only love you when they're playing" Dreams
"Once in a million years a lady like her rises" Rhiannon of course
" All around black ink darkness who found lady from the mountain" Sorcerer
"Drove me like a magnet to the sea...yeah" Crystal
"I went today, baby I would go again tomorrow and the music there it was hauntingly familiar" Edge of Seventeen
" You saved my life, I won't forget it" For What it's Worth
"I have come to know this world of changing faces, I would not fight the world, I would not change it, so be true to me" Smile at You
" Don't say that she's pretty and did you say that she loved you, baby I don't want to know" Silver Springs
" Never have I been a blue calm sea, I've always been a Storm" Storms




The best of the best, is an entire song....Gold Dust Woman, perfect from start to finish, but her best line she has ever put pen to paper is "did she make you cry, make you break down, shatter your illusions of love, is it over now, do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home".
