lyrics

brenda pass the brandy to me one more time
it must have dropped another ten degrees
wind's been screaming like a battered woman
it's a storm like i've never seen before
and life makes you walk a thin grey line
between the living and the dead
haven't we been waiting all our lives
to hear the angels sing inside our heads

brenda pass the book to me one more time
i can't recall the chapter or the verse
i guess we shouldn't really be surprised
i guess we should expect the worst
it was another black friday when the bottom dropped out
in a wall street i chanced to find a pearl
i was terminally sick at the mayo clinic
when i met this doctor with a cure

now there's a witness in the courtroom
of a heart in disarray
and i believe his testimonial
i would die for it this day
while the light fades from your eyes

brenda i am in a miserable state
i wanna hold on to something strong
trying to regain some innocence
it's been going going going going gone

and i feel just like an orphan
knocking on the doors of a million homes
sure i feel your arms around me
but it still don't mean i don't feel alone
