Kim Baker: Songs & Lyrics

~Words and Music by Kim Baker~

The screen door divides, their separate worlds
Passion from pretense, subtle shifts giving way to intense
Your strong hands, reach out to caress
Her wounded skin, your rage pounding within

You want to take him down
And rip out his soul
For daring to hurt
The one you behold
Sweet Idgie...
Gentle and strong
It is for you, dearest one
That I write this song

You had to wait for your love, through many long years
Who was there all the nights, you cried all your tears
And when the time finally came, when she called out your name
You ran to her side, you could no longer hide your heart

You want to take her down
And kiss her soul
You dare to love
The one you behold
Sweet Idgie...
Gentle and strong
It is for you, dearest one
That I write this song

Now many years have passed, with you right by her side
Watching the swell, of the world's rip tide
And you never bow down, or deny who you are
Sweet Idgie, you are my brightest, my brightest star

I want to lift you up
And kiss your sweet soul
For you dare to love
The one you behold
Sweet Idgie...
Gentle and strong
It is for you, dearest one
That I write this song
