Track 1 from the EP "Truth, Love & Understanding"

LYRICS - "SOCKLESS"
c. 2007 Amanda West Music
-----------------------------------

I don’t want to be a temptress or a seductress
Don’t want to be your mistress or your dirty side project
But when will the stars align?
It’s such a delicate balance between location and timing
and the oceans found inside
when we open
to life
to life

And it’s knocking my socks off
‘cause we’d like to take off more
What kind of forces direct such desires?
What kind of kindling can build such fire in the heart?
…. I ask the stars

You don’t want a temptress, or a seductress
You’re not looking for a mistress or a dirty side project
But it’s so hard waiting for the stars to align
...such a delicate balance between location and timing
and the oceans found inside
when we open
to life
to life

Someday love will be easy
Someday there’ll be no more reason
for hiding
these feelings

Knocking my socks off
You’re knocking my socks off
Oh yeah
Knocking your socks off
I'm knocking your socks off
Oh yeah
Knocking our socks off
this is knocking our socks off
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
mmmm...

Oh when will the stars align?

‘Cause this is knocking our socks off
and we’d like to take off more
