  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've been trying to Google it, but... I just don't know enough of the lyrics to make it work. I know this is going to be pretty vague, but maybe one of you will be able to piece it together. And a lot of the words are probably not right... I think this is what it sounds like, but it doesn't make any sense at all with the few words I have, so I had to go by sound and not comprehension. So pay more attention to the sound of the words than the meaning of the words... and props to you if you can figure it out!

This is part of a verse (I think):
She sits .... staring out the window
Hearing voices .... [maybe something about "the Promised Land"?]

And I'm pretty sure this is part of the chorus:
.... tonight
.... hear you
Can't stop the tears running down her (or "your"?) face
Open her ("your?") heart (or "arms"?) and ..... quiet place

I feel silly posting this already, with such little snippets of lyrics. But you never know.

the only song I can think of [at least for right now] is Gypsy Girl by Everday Sunday, but the only part of that song that matches your song is the 3rd verse & bridge which are together and that part says:

You ask me a questions
Staring out the window with a memory running down your face
Is there more to this maybe than dancing for pennies in the street like a gypsy girl, baby
You're trying to lie about why you're down and out
Can't you see that it's me that you're pushing around?
When will you be still and take your chances with God?
She's music to my eyes and she lives in paradise, but something isn't right
She thinks she's going blind, but it's just dark outside
Tripping alone under pale street lights
I can't believe she says everything's fine
She's the luckiest girl alive ......what a lucky world

[then it goes back to the chorus from there]
Probably not what you're looking for though. It's a very far fetched chance.. but that's all I could come up with right off hand.
