Blue Rodeo Rena Lyrics

Rena Lyrics

I got my plans

From trembling hands

I knew just what to do

Follow each step carefully

And hope they pulled me through

My father ran

To different lands

And not a word we spoke

But I was here

To conquer fear

And bring some glory home



There’s a world of hate and sorrow

Out there standing in your way

There’s a load of compromise

Before you die

And each time you step forward you get burned a little bit

No longer know the way

To say goodbye

Now I’m down here underneath

Your bedroom light

Rena please come out 

With me tonight



I look in through

The window

And I though I’d take

My chance

I taught myself to play

So I could be where people danced

No higher call

Than stars that fall

I waited patiently

A thousand miles of pavement

That became my destiny



You can wait a lonely lifetime

Wondering when it’s gonna come

You can while away the hours

Getting stoned

But one day you get lucky

And you look in someone’s eyes

That tell you you don’t

Have to be alone

Now I’m falling back

Just out of your sight

Rena please come out

With me tonight



Oh now I know the way things go

And what I put you through

Cause when they try to get to me

They get to me through you



I know it’s not the kind of hurt

That’s easily set right

And I know you got your reasons

To stay inside

But nothing ever happens

When it’s left out on it’s own

You locked in there with

Just your wounded pride

I’m down here and I’m

Way too tired to fight

Rena please come out 

With me tonight

Rena please come out 

With me tonight
