Woman of the Phoenix Lyrics

Well I've listened to the words you lovers speak
The sounds of the lover's song
And I've dreamed all the dreams
That the wayward girl dreams
In a thousand places goneDallas was my late night out
Radcliffe's saved to roust me out
And Houston lay like
Cleveland with the color removedAll I ever wanted
Was to wander and be wooed
Like a woman of the Phoenix
Welcomed WaterlooI've seen the sun blaze
The breast of the countryside
I've seen her huddled in a winter freeze
And I've run 'cross paths of a thousand lives
Among the cactus and the white birch treesAvloc ran a waterfront bar
Vito he was the king of thieves
And Michael was a rock 'n roll
Hood from the Odessa plainsAll of them were my kind

Wild and damn near free
But a woman of the Phoenix
Is the medicine they need
