Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (Warm acoustic strumming blends with a clean electric guitar lick. A light shaker keeps the beat.) [Verse 1] Six A.M. and the curtains are wide She’s got the rhythm of the ocean tide No coffee needed, no snooze on the clock She’s already halfway ‘round the block In a yellow cardigan, faded and worn She looks like the sister of the early morn’ Whistling a tune that you swear you know Setting the seeds for the day to grow. [Chorus] Oh, Michelle, where’d you get that light? You’re burning like a bonfire in the middle of the night With a smile like a secret and a heart on your sleeve You make the cynics want to start to believe The world’s spinning fast, but you’re taking it slow High-tide Michelle, everywhere you go. [Verse 2] Tuesday’s raining and the sky is lead Everyone’s wishing they were back in bed But here comes Michelle with a polka-dot brolly Turning the gloom into high-speed folly She remembers your name and your birthday too She knows the exact right thing to do To take a heavy heart and make it feel light Like a paper plane taking its very first flight. [Chorus] Oh, Michelle, where’d you get that light? You’re burning like a bonfire in the middle of the night With a smile like a secret and a heart on your sleeve You make the cynics want to start to believe The world’s spinning fast, but you’re taking it slow High-tide Michelle, everywhere you go. [Bridge] Now, the skeptics say it’s a bit of an act That nobody stays that happy, in fact But if you look in her eyes, you can see the truth It isn’t about some fountain of youth She just decided a long time ago That if you’ve got a spark, you’ve gotta let it show. [Guitar Solo] (A 15-second melodic slide guitar solo, building tension and warmth.) [Female Vocal Solo] (The band settles into a groove as a powerful female voice takes over with wordless, soaring ad-libs) (Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah...) (Da-da, da-da-da, let it shine!) (High melodic peak, then drifting back down...) [Verse 3] Even when the engine won’t start on her car She’s looking up high for the very first star She says, “It’s just a chance to take a long walk” To listen to the birds and to hear the wind talk You can’t bring her down, don’t even try She’s got a direct line to the blue in the sky. [Chorus] Oh, Michelle, where’d you get that light? You’re burning like a bonfire in the middle of the night With a smile like a secret and a heart on your sleeve You make the cynics want to start to believe The world’s spinning fast, but you’re taking it slow High-tide Michelle, everywhere you go. [Outro] (Michelle, Michelle) She’s humming that song again (Michelle, Michelle) (Vocal solo ad-libs return softly over the fade) Turning the gray into gold, my friend Keep on shining, keep on flying... (Fade out on a final bright G-major chord)
