SONG #13
12/?/91
Celebrate
Two Step
A journey with a loved one sprinkled with Old Testament with New
Testament references along the way. Originally, the stanza was, "Hey Helena" (and is sung like that on Crash although the
printed lyrics say otherwise) instead of "Hey, My Love." Speculation held that this Helena was a Greek reference. Its probably
more accurate that the reference is to Constantine's (as in the Roman ruler who legalized Christianity) Mother, St. Helena,
finder of numerous Christian artifacts (including the True Cross) and built Christian Churches in the Holy Land. That places
more of a Christian lean on the song during earlier times, and one of the loves could be the religion itself, especially in
earlier versions of the song that were not so touchy-feeley graphic.

Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Love, you drive
me to distraction
Hey, Helena, do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
our
flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet
for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
These things we cannot change
Hey,
my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and you
quench my mind
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
Sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
The things we cannot
Celebrate, you and me, climbing two by two, to be sure
these
days continue, things we cannot change
Oh, my love I came to you
with best intentions
You laid down and gave
to me
Just what I'm seeking
Celebrate we will
Because life is short
But sweet for certain
We're climbing
two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...
Things we cannot change
