LYRIC FOR SALE

By Karrie Ann Ogilvie

Here is a wonder, if you talk of a wonder:
A man and a woman with the same disposition,
Both in need of holding back their ire,
And when they meet, it instantly starts the ignition.

For, whenever two raging fires meet,
The thing that feeds their fury is consumed,
And then there’s nothing left to do
But wonder who is taming whom.

Here is a question, if you talk of a question:
Who can determine if a match is successful?
Is it only based on first impressions,
Or does it take something much more monumental?

For, whenever two raging fires meet,
The thing that feeds their fury is consumed,
And then there’s nothing left to do
But wonder who is taming whom.

Hither he came to wive it wealthily.
She wished she could remove him hence.
At first they thought each other the devil,
Then they came to each other’s defense.

Here is an ending, if you talk of an ending:
A man and a woman who made a declaration.
And peace it bodes and love and a quiet life,
And that is what is called a transformation.

For, whenever two raging fires meet,
The thing that feeds their fury is consumed,
And then there’s nothing left to do…

Yes, whenever two raging fires meet,
The thing that feeds their fury is consumed,
And then there’s nothing left to do
But wonder who is taming whom.

I wonder who is taming whom.
