Love Washes Off

As If Whiskey Could Put Out A Fire - Michael RJ Roth/Eric Ramsey

This is Melissa
She's married with children
She loves her husband and three little tots
But today it is raining
The kids won't stop fighting
And she's stuck in the house cause her car's in the shop
And she thinks as she kisses their bruises and tears
"What kind of difference am I making here?"

CHORUS:	
We all make choices
We all take chances
Later we wonder if we've chosen well
We listen to voices
We spin to Life's dances
But what might have been, no one ever can tell
Each woman becomes the sum of her choices

This is Priscilla
Professional, pretty
She's climbed the ladder that leads to success
But a week ago Friday, Priscilla turned forty
As she blew out her candles, she had one request
Now she's lost in her thoughts at her table for one
What would her kids look like if she had had some?

BRIDGE:	
Mildred is sixty and lives all alone
Her husband is gone and her kids are all grown
But decades and heartaches have made Mildred wise
Now she sees Life through Love's eyes….She says…..
    
LAST CHORUS:	
We all make choices
We all take chances
But somehow Life balances everything well
We listen to voices
And spin in the dances
But each woman has her own story to tell
			
TAG:			
Ev'ry struggling soul
Is a part of the whole		
As hist'ry unfolds…..through our choices

Indie Folk Pop Artist Eli Lev on Tour

The town I’m from is so small, the city limit sign says “Welcome! Hurry Back!” On the same sign.

WELCOME HURRY BACK

I used to perform at a lot of open mics (before covid) sometimes 2 and 3 in a night. I came home one night to find some lyrics on my pillow, 
and they became this blues song.  (Maybe he was trying to send a message)

I Won’t Stay Here And Cry

1. I heard the bells ring in Texas
  I heard the birds singing their song
  I had just finished breakfast, 
  when I noticed you had gone
  I saw your lights on the low bridge
  As you quickly drove away
  Then you were over the high ridge, 
  finding somewhere else to play

Cho	Will you come back and see me
	Or leave me wondering why
     	I don’t know what will be
 	I won’t stay here and cry

(Verse instrumental, Cho)

2. So we have had our friendship
   And we have had our fun
   You were my apprentice,
   and I thought you were the one
   But lately things have been different
   You have been out late at night
   I have been considerate,
   and now you have taken flight

Cho(tag) I won’t stay here and cry (2 x)
