Dane Hinkle: sample music

Swanda (acoustic version)

(Dane Hinkle)
Swanda

She had the beauty of an angel
And a glow to match the summer noon-day sun

I could see no one around her
Though the room was full
She seemed to be alone

And with a simple subtle glance from her
I somehow knew that she would be the one

And we danced on the mountain
Underneath a stormy western sky

And the moon made shadows as the clouds rolled by
And the lightening laughed
And the thunder cried

For almost a year we laughed and loved and cried
And shared our secrets locked deep inside

But with the ringing of the telephone
I could see the anger in her eyes

And with a subtle voice from the other room
She hung up the phone
And said goodbye

It was about a year before I saw her again
She’d changed a little bit

She had lost a few pounds
And she had dyed her hair blond, bleach blond
And she was Smokin’

And she had changed her name to Swanda
She’s got a nose ring and a tattoo on her ankle

And she’ll tell you that she loves you
But the man she loved before drove her insane

So no matter what you do or say
For everything he’s ever done
You’ll get the blame

It’s the way you leave the lid up
And the light on in the hall
And the phone bill’s two weeks late and its his fault

Well she changed her name to Swanda
She’s got a nose ring and a tattoo on her ankle

But that cocaine from her past whets her memory like a heavy morning dew

And the color of your eyes tell her the man she loved before
is just like you

Yea, the color of your eyes tell her the man she loved before was just like you

Well she changed her name to Swanda
She’s got a nose ring and a tattoo on her ankle
