Sheba Lyrics by Blue Rodeo

The Things We Left Behind

2009

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
