Donna Martin: Listen

Wendy O

(Donna Martin)
Wendy O

Wendy O you were made of commotion

you're the wire that sparked the things that burned

I believe, I believe in the story of the ocean

every tide will turn

 

the light of the day will surely come

to turn the tables when we're done

who leaps like fire

can fall like rain

 

Wendy O were you nobody's daughter

before you were born to the stage

was the ink on your skin

in the lights growing dim

like a fish out of water

was there nothing you could save

 

chorus

 

Wendy O read your name in the paper

two hundred words to say your gone, gone, gone

it said you moved to the woods

hope the birds understood you were able

to light up, light up a song

 

chorus
