Lyrics:

Feelin' Better, Since I surrendered
You can't Climb, 'Till Your ready to fall
You're not a land mine, You're not a gold mine
No you're not mine at all

So tell me baby, Can you hear me?
I sent a message out into the dark
It's a mystery, When you're near me
I've gotta find my way to your heart

I learnt my lesson, First impressions
More often right than wrong
It's not a slow dance, this modern romance
feels like we've already waited too long

Don't worry baby , 'bout how it should be
I sent a message out into the dark
I'd rather talk to you, about how it could be
I've gotta find my way to your heart

I was one of those, breathing tornadoes
But now i live at the eye of the storm
And it's all faded, then since the separation
Since i let your love keep me warm

You tell me baby, That you can feel me
I sent a message out into the dark
When i kiss you, That's the real me
I've gotta find my way to your heart

So tell me baby, can you hear me
I sent a message out into the dark
It's a mystery, When you're near me
I've gotta find my way to your heart

Thank you very much Pavio for such a lovely comment. That's so cool that you've heard of Ben Lee's music in Brazil too!

[tammythe08]

This is an awesome cover! Awesome uke and singing skills :)

[fourteentwelve]

I'm sorry - I thought I had replied to this! Thank you so much for watching, and for your comment Dirk! Ben Lee is one of my favourite musicians. Russell has done a couple of great covers of his too - they're linked in my video info...

[mugambismonkey]

Lovely! Ben Lee - another musician I haven't heard of before. Great performance, Michelle! Sorry, I had missed this video since the YT subscription function failed somehow. Your Koaloha looks and sounds great! (The design of the headstock always reminds me on Klingons, btw. - so cool!)

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. Yes, definitely save up for a Koaloha uke. You won't be disappointed. They're such a beautiful ukulele to play. I really couldn't say enough good things about them.
