1709
music and words by Judith Owen
VERSE 1
I am here
I am now
So don't let the ghost of her keep you in the past
I am clear
I know now
That the love like ours from heaven was born to last
BRIDGE
There is fear
There is doubtImpetuous love takes a little more time
I love you now like I did then
When you put my heart to rest
in a New York hotel room
CHORUS
In 1709
MIDDLE 8
I used to think that I found the perfect lover
Give me a day and he'd change, I'd soon discover,
There's something about you I've found
I can feel it in my heart, want to sing it out loud
So won't you give me some time please
cause I'm only an ocean away
VERSE 2
I am lost
I am found
In the sweetness of your touch and your warm embrace
I am filled
With your sounds
With the meaning in your eyes
And the truth in your face
BRIDGE
There is fear
There is doubt
Impetuous love takes a little more time
I know you now like I loved you then
When you put my heart to rest in a New York hotel room
CHORUS
In 1709
Cause/And I'm only an ocean away
in 1709
Sister
Music and words by Judith Owen
High heels in the dark
I wore them for a lark
Woke him made him mad
And he made me feel so damn bad
(It happens sometimes)
And I really thought I knew
How to make him happy, make him bue
Guess I got it wrong
So who was I with all along
Was it you?
And when I told her of our fight
She smiled so sweetly
And she made everything alright
She made me understand completely
When she said...
Sister, sister
Some things are really worth shouting about
Sister, sister
That's what love is really all about
I'm a girl who likes to flirt
Whenever my man's deep in work
I go crazy blow my top
When he refuses makes me stop
(Wouldn't you?)
Next thing there's a feud
We're shouting loudly talking rude
He say's "I need some space.
Haven't you heard there's a right time and a right place?"
When I told her of our fight
She smiled discreetly
And then we laughed and joked all through the night
And I understood completely
When she said
Sister, sister
Some things are really worth shouting about
Sister, sister
That's what love is really all about
Girls can be together, see together
Act the fool around each other
From the Kama Sutra to stealing spoons
You can be strangers and know everything
There is to know about each other
So if you need some therapy
Head straight for the powder room
High heels in the dark
I wore them for the lark
Thought I'd drive him wild
But he made me feel like such a stupid child
(It happens sometimes)
And when I told her of our fight
She smiled so sweetly
She said "He wasn't all wrong
You weren't all right."
And I understood completely.
