EVE OF DESTRUCTION

Lyrics

Dark hair with carmelescent scents, on the morning that we met
The spark that hit me had an effervescent feeling
Teasing my heart to keep on beating
for you, who knew, its true.......

I've fallen for barista girl
I'm caffeine craving your attention, twirl you 'round my cup
Fantasy, I'm caffeine crazy
Just for one brief moment all alone..... Barista girl

Wielding clever personality, she brought the greatest out of me
Weekends together in an epidemic crush
Riding out this mocha latte rush
With you, who knew, its true........

I've fallen for barista girl
I'm caffeine craving your attention, twirl you 'round my cup
Fantasy, I'm caffeine crazy
Just for one brief moment all alone..... Barista girl

You pick me up when I need it, don't let me down don't let me, 
don't let me down!

Chorus/end

Barista Girl

This song is for all women, women who speak up, speak the truth, advance the cause, activists, for women's rights, women's marches, #InternationalWomensDay  #metoo  #timesup  #WomensMarch2018 and so many more. Thank you for all you've done and continue to do to make our world a kind fair place. 

The lyric was inspired by my Aunt's life of advocacy, working with organizations like Global Women's Strike for women's rights and against war.

Wrong, blind and lost, we made war not peace 
Women and men, painful inequality 
But she knew what to do, how to open our eyes 
She knew the way our world had to find 
Out past the past that we hid behind 

She came from ahead of her time 
Marching the truth down our streets of lies 
To change our ways, to change our minds 
To get us to a future, fair and kind 
She came from ahead of her time 

She heard our old words, saw right where they led 
To lakes of tears, to rivers of blood that we shed 
So she blazed a new trail with sharp verb and noun 
Her message cut through in letters big and loud 
New words, her words, that we follow now 

She came from ahead of her time 
Marching the truth down our streets of lies 
To change our ways, to change our minds 
To get us to a future, fair and kind 
She came from ahead of her time 

Power surging from her speech 
People rising, we’re not weak 
Sun baking, she stood the heat 
Progress marching on her feet 

She came from ahead of her time 
Marching the truth down our streets of lies 
To change our ways, to change our minds 
To get us to a future, fair and kind 
She came from ahead of her time 

She came from ahead of her time 
Marching the truth down our streets of lies 
To change our ways, to change our minds 
To get us to a future, fair and kind 
She came from ahead of her time 

We’re getting closer to where she came from 
It’s better now but there’s more to come 
She’s still guiding us from up above 
To the kind fair place she came from

She Came from Ahead of Her Time (artist: Aim the Heart feat. Storme)

From the EP "Wine, Women and Song" available on iTunes.

Ballad of Moonbeam Swiner

Singer songwriter from Cleveland Oh.  I played Ohio venues for nearly 20 years in various lineups of classic rock, oldies, and acoustic duets.  I've had radio airplay in 35 states (REAL radio not internet or podcasts) a song used on VH1, and a few misc commercials and bites for major artist cuts.  The industry may not be what it once was, but I cant simply turn off the passion. 
So up the mountain we push on...
