ONCE I WALKED FINE LINES
TO LEAVE A SHATTERED WORLD BEHIND

SHADOWS CAME THEY TRIED TO CLAIM
MY LIFE WAS DYING ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE

BUT NOW I BOUND TO THE GROUND IN THE SAND OF THE L. A. BASIN
TO WOMAN TO BE FOUND IN THE AIR THAT'S WORTH THE CHASIN
LIKE LAQUIRE FUMES THAT BURN THE EYES
SHE TOOK MY TEARS AND LEFT ME DRY
BUT SHE’S GONE NOW
OH SHE’S GONE NOW

DONT LEAVE ME NOW
DONT LEAVE ME NOW
DONT LEAVE ME NOW
DONT LEAVE ME NOW

SEEMED LIKE FIFTY YEARS PASSED BY
SHE LEFT ME STANDING ON A COLD SUMMER NIGHT
SHE SHOWED ME THE WAY
THEN SHE LET ME DOWN
LIKE AN ANVIL AND HAMMER THAT WAS HITTING THE GROUND

I WAS LOST IN DARKNESS
SHROUDED FROM LIGHT
NO HINT OF HEAVEN AS THE DAY TURNED TO NIGHT

IMAGINE I COULD BREATH
I COULD WALK
I COULD CHOOSE
GOD GAVE ME HEALTH LIKE MONEY TO USE

NOTHING SEEMED TO MATTER
NOR SEEMED TO BE TRUE
YET NOTHING SEEMED TO SAVOR
NOR SALVAGE MY BLUES BUT...

DONNA (DONT LEAVE ME NOW)
DONT LEAVE THE WORLD WITHOUT ME NOW

DONNA (DONT LEAVE ME NOW)
I LOVE THE WORLD WHEN YOU STAND BESIDE ME NOW

LIFE IS COLDER EVERY DAY
I THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT THE WORLD THESE DAYS

I MUST BE DREAMING
MUST BE DREAMING
HE MUST BE DREAMING
CUZ THE FEELINGS LEAVING

FUEL LINES WERE CHECKED TWICE
ON THE BIG BURNIN ENGINES OF THE PLANE SHE’D FLY
LINE-MAN UNCHALKED THE PLANE
TO FREE IT TO THE HEAVENS LIKE A BIRD AGAIN

THE STROBE ON THE BELLY OF THE PLANE FLICKERS HIGH AND FAR NOW
IT’S SUBJECT TO REMAIN A STEAL WIRED FRAME THAT FLYS NOW

I STOP AND STARE IN DISBELIEF
AS FIFTY TONS OF STEEL LEAPS FOR THE SUN NOW

OH SHE’S GONE NOW

DONNA (DONT LEAVE ME NOW)
DONT LEAVE THE WORLD WITHOUT ME NOW

DONNA (DONT LEAVE ME NOW)
I LOVE THE WORLD WHEN YOU STAND BESIDE ME NOW

DONNA
DONNA
DONNA

I CANT SEEM TO FIND A WAY
A CORDIAL MOOD WON’T MAKE YOU STAY
I’LL MOVE THE MOUNTAINS FOR YOUR NAME
WITH OUT YOUR KISS I’LL GO INSANE

DONNA
DONNA
DONNA
DONNA


DEMO SONGS CONTACT		DONNA Music and lyrics: Steve Campanella © COPYWRITE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PANTHEON MUSIC LTD I recorded this song on my old TEAC 244 analog 4-track. I played the drums, piano and vocals on this one. I think this song would be ideal for a Nashville artist to cover or even better yet Chris Robinson of the *Black Crowes.* If only I new how to get it to him? Chris, if you're listening, lets do lunch bro. Have you're agent call me and bring that hot wife Kate with you (ha). An airplane inspired this song. I really dig airplanes and how they defy gravity! I wrote this song one night when i was living in Hollywood. I was stoned out of my gourd, sitting in my car in the Hollywood Hills (Beachwood Canyon Dr.), watching jetliner strobes flicker through the night's sky in rout to LAX. *Right mouse click on link, select "save target as"to desktop*
