The album's next single is a cover of Freda Payne's "Band Of Gold", which was released to radio on August 13, 2007 and became Locke's 6th solo Adult Contemporary Top 10 hit. The album's third single has been announced to be "Fall", a song also recorded by country music artist Clay Walker, which is being released to radio in February 2008.
Eighth World Wonder
Kimberley Locke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then it hit me from nowhere, everything I feel about me and you.
The way you kiss me crazy, baby you're so amazing.
Seven days and seven nights of thunder,
The waters rising and I'm slipping under.
I think I fell in love with the eighth world wonder.
But the way that I'm feeling, makes me realize that it can't be wrong.
You're love's like a summer rain, washing my doubts away.
Seven days and seven nights of thunder,
The waters rising and I'm slipping under.
I think I fell in love with the eighth world wonder.
It's only been a week, but it's coming over me.
It's making me believe that you're the one for me.
Seven days and seven nights of thunder,
The waters rising and I'm slipping under.
I think I fell in love with the eighth world wonder. [Repeat x4]
