Just Not Like Her

Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz, 2008

Some say she rations her kisses.

Some say shes selling the lot.

Some say shes smoking the smidgens

Of something she simply is not.

Come drink from her wineglass of wishes.

Maybe shell give you a shot.

'Cause brother, you're just standing witness.

Remember the love that you've got.

You see, this is her reckless memory

Of kisses and sweetness and wine.

Some say that she's pining for penance,

Dropping light-years down endless heart-mines.

But silence is all she requires

For dancing and diving within.

So no one can make her a promise.

No one can do that again.

Can love track her down in the darkness?

She bids love to wring out the red.

Can lovers reshape the old treasons

that run like the wind through her head?

She's never been quite so forsaken.

She's never been quite so unsure.

Her soul has not been quite this shaken.

She's never allowed this before.

And it's just not like her

To be waiting around,

Standing alone

with her feet on the ground.

No it's just not like her

To be humble and free

Hungry for humor

and mystery.

Please come to her garden of wishes

And maybe she'll give you a plot.

'Cause brother you're just standing witness.

Remember the love that you've got.
