Resist - Melissa Etheridge

The sign says do not enter No trespassing allowed With visions of redemption I walk against the crowd The sun is white with envy Confusion on the ground Breathing soft and holy Temptation’s only sound A demon’s day in madness kissed I swear I never had it like this Forbidden yet I cannot resist Shocked […]

Talking To My Angel - Melissa Etheridge

Don’t be afraid Close your eyes Lay it all down Don’t you cry Can’t you see I’m going Where I can see the sun rise I’ve been talking to my angel And he said that it’s alright I’ve always had to run I don’t know just why Desire slowly smoking Under the midwest sky There’s […]

If I Wanted To - Melissa Etheridge
