lyrics

The Bright Side

Look on the bright side
we can’t go back
We’re on a one way
direction track
You stood and you said that you knew me
but you never knew that I only wanted you
When you find where your confidence hides out
let me know just for curiosity
Think of the money
we never had
It comes in handy
to excuse the bad luck
and we both had our share, didn’t we?
When I think of what it was, it’s not clear
but the tide changes all that it washes
We both got washed out before we could see
I stand with my sleeves up
beside the sink
The foam on my fingers
runs down my cheeks
and I can’t even tell what the difference is
from the foam and the tears running from my eyes
When I see you sometime by happenstance
we won’t mention the worst thing was – we never tried

about

Thea Ennen Wisconsin

I sing and write to make a sense of my existence - my place in this world. Each song is a specific journey down a road. They are my magic carpets to see again a memory or expectation. I use songs - melodies and words - to guide me, like a rudder through the waters of life. .

I think I sing in public to reassure this kind of journey- to never lose touch with what is instinctual.

-Thea Ennen
