She asked me if I knew any story or meaning behind the song Carry Me. I didn't. But I thought maybe someone from mad mission might know something about it. Anyone? Thanks. Steve "Don't just exist.

These are rough lyrics that will probably need a lot of work and it still needs to be structured into a song. But here's what I have so far: FIRE ON THE WIND Shes got hair of flaming red Eyes the color of a Paris night Yearning a blanket that covers her soul A soaring voice full of power and might Shes been walking down that endless road Carrying more than her share of a heavy load Hands of a dreamer, smile of a queen Sing for us the sadness that your heart has seen Her voice is full of tomorrow nights Yesterdays pain and sorrows gain Love songs sung so sweetly beneath the radiant moonlight Blushing cheeks humble laughs a thousand summer rains The way she mingles jazz and blues Tender folk with the latest news of her heart Country miles and beaten down dreams Beams of light bleeding silken reams Her voice her heart Her light her song Her hair her dreams Tell us everything youve seen Her hands her smile Shy and quiet Howling and fierce Piercing through, a tender arrow Shes a hungry lion, shes a soft warm sparrow Holding on tight Embodying the night Every time you you open your mouth to sing 1000 kisses fly at us from your wings 1000 kisses to us you bring Shes a fire on the wind _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V6 #187 *********************************
