EMBER

Verse 1: 

Out on the beach

Of the Jamaica Sun

I was just settling in

For a week of fun

When a tall beauty

With short red hair

A tiny "LOVE" tattoo

Somewhere I couldn't stare

Spread out her towel

With purpose and flair

And said "I hope it’s OK,

To prop myself here."

Prechorus 1:

She acted like a man

Oh! But she was all girl

It's hard to understand

What's up with this world

Chorus:

Some people are short

Some people are tall

Some people are big

Some people are small

Some people are straight

Some people are gay

But we are not all made

For the roles we play

Verse 2:

The day grew long

We made a lot of talk

Oh! She carried her own

She could walk the walk

But she held a secret

She was dying to impart

That’d been far too long

Burning in her heart

She looked right at me

With a desire so true

Said "I'm dying to see

What a man can do!"

Prechorus2:

By candlelight and flowers

We drank sweet wine

And for endless hours

Nature fulfilled its design

Chorus:

Some people are short

Some people are tall

Some people are big

Some people are small

Some people are straight

Some people are gay

But we are not all made

For the roles that we play

Verse 3:

We sang all night

Like going for broke

When she hit the high notes

The whole cabin shook

Said "I heard about this

From my little sis

But I never dreamed

It would be good as this"

Then she kissed me sweet

Said "you were super, man

But if you can't change me

I tell you nobody can"

Bridge:

It was 2005

But I still remember

Those flaming nights

With a girl named Ember

Chorus:

Some people are short

Some people are tall

Some people are big

Some people are small

Some people are straight

Some people are gay

But we are not all made

For the roles that we play
