Sheba - Blue Rodeo

Well, she walks down the busiest streets like an African Queen

And she makes a good living from strangers wherever she’s been

She’s always got a drink on somebody’s bill

And lives in a house up on a hill

And nobody knows when she’s coming

They know that she will

It’s a long, long way we’ve come from a darker day

Well, they took all the fun out of it, but people like it that way

There are things on the news now testing your faith

Maybe it’s good, and maybe it ain’t

Everybody once was a sinner

And now they’re all saints

I know

I think about it all the time though

There’s nothing really for me to hold on to

I’m taking the days as they come

But I’m right here

Stuck between a dream and a nightmare

I’m praying for the day when it all comes clear

I’m barely just holding my ground

'Til Sheba comes down

'Til Sheba comes down

Well, she draws out the rags and riches wherever she goes

And she knows what it’s like to live out in Emperor’s clothes

She’s practiced in the arts of magic and such

Ancient blue eyes, electric touch

I got to look away when I see her

It hurts me so much

Well, I know

I think about it all the time though

There’s nothing really for me to hold on to

I’m taking the days as they come

I’m right here

Stuck between a dream and a nightmare

I’m praying for the day when it all comes clear

I’m barely just holding my ground

'Til Sheba comes down

'Til Sheba comes down

'Til Sheba comes down

'Til Sheba comes down
