It's a matter of life or death" The sun is going downand the moon is just holding its breath Mama dear, your girl is here, far across the sea waiting for that sacred core that burns inside of me and I feel a storm, all wet and warm, not ten miles away, approaching my Mexican home Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Sweet Is The Melody, The Cherry Tree Carol, The Heart Tells The Story, The Old Rugged Cross, The Shores Of Jordan, The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home, The Unclouded Day, The Way I Should, THERES A WALL IN WASHINGTON, These Hills, This Kind Of Happy, Trouble, Troublesome Waters, Walkin Home, Wasteland Of The Free, We Could, Wheels Of Love, When I Was Yours, When Love Was Young, WHEN MY MORNIN COMES AROUND, Where The Soul Of Man Never Dies, Whispering Pines, Wildwood Flower, Ah Leah, Agnes, Ah!
