Amy

“Amy”

Roseanne Reid

Darlin’ Amy, God I love her
She’s the Devil in disguise
She don’t fear no God above her, prefers the taste of spittin’ fire
And I would bow down, right before her
She could bring me to my knees
But the young don’t last forever, she gon’ die in ecstasy
She gon’ die in ecstasy

Be courageous, be forgiving, be the air in every lung
Be the hero, be the villain
Be the song that’s never sung
But don’t you ever be the darkness that takes my baby away from me
Tell the preacher he can have all but this one‘
Cos this one’s for you Amy
Yeah this one’s for you Amy

Accapella, Archangel, misty eyes that never see
Choose sanctuary, choose danger
But don’t choose the girl that always leaves
Don’t choose the girl that always leaves

True companion, true misfit, true to life or death’s right hand man
Guess I never had you figured, I was just a pawn in your plan
But just remember, what I tell you, when it comes down we all got to pay
Counts for nothing if you’re a giver or taker
The Lord has his hand on you Amy
The Lord has his hand on you Amy
