Upping The Ante: You Wish

He wants to up the ante. Does he think this is the World Series of Poker? Puh-leeze; I am just starting to play in this game of "Sunday." And yes I am aware it is not even Sunday, as yet, and already we have posted more lyrics than we have in a long time.

He wants to up the stakes of this game; this battle of knowledge? Fine. I up it again. The next song is called "The Red Strokes" and it is performed by Garth Brooks.

Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
Two shadows starting to softly combine
The picture they’re painting
Is one of the heart
And to those who have seen it
It’s a true work of art.

(chorus)

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision
That they can’t command
Erasing the borders
With each brush of a hand

*chorus*

Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
But when love picks it’s shade it demands to be seen

*chorus*

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn.
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
