I saw you walking Only yesterday When I ran to catch you You disappeared And the street was gray The candle died Now you are gone For the flame was too bright Now you are gone I heard you laughing With your laugh of gold When I called out to you Silence returned And the air was cold The castle fell Now you are gone No more rings the bell Now you are gone I found a letter On the day it rained When I tore it open There in my hands Only ash remained The castle fell Now you are gone No more rings the bell Now you are gone I felt you breathing As I fell asleep When I reached out to touch you No one was there And the night was deep The candle died Now you are gone For the flame was too bright Now you are gone I saw you walking Only yesterday When I ran to catch you You disappeared And the street was gray The castle fell Now you are gone No more rings the bell Now you are gone
Just for you with your open hands Waiting for the touch of man Clutching with your blackened gloves You try to capture all the doves That flee into The forest before you You wish to catch and cage me now I wonder if you remember how Hard it was to say the names Of mirror dreams and cheated games And on the wall You framed your first lover Your form intrigues me with the glow Ill remember you I know Though I forgot to lock the chain Around you with a prayer for rain To bring the call To drive you back into my bed Ahhh.... She turns away Telling me to follow for a while Ahhh.... She waits Youd be touched if you would touch But you only reach and taunt Will my taste stay grey and blue If I try to turn from you
Black tan brown and white Repeat the order and weve tried All the lovely little steps That hope turn the eyes And footsteps of you Friend to lend for once Behold that healing festival Complete for an instant The dance figure pure constellation
I was lost without a song without a melody You came into my hotel life You made my room a home Ah now, mama, dont you know what you done Ah, you made the sunshine in the city Oh, you warmed my heart You changed an old man filled with pity Back to a child again Ah now, mama, cant you see what you done So tell me darlin if the feelings wrong Dont waste another day Lord, the saddest thing Ive ever known Was to watch it die away Ah now, mama, dont you lie dont you lie Oh, how can my giving find the rhythm and the time of you Unless you sing your songs to me The smell of your sweet skin does entangle my dream Oh may I stand here awhile living your smile Oh, how could you ever know what youve done You warmed my heart when I was so all alone But all I have to give Are my dreams of coming and going forever Inside the rivers of time youll find me waiting For you to find peace in your mind So we can love again I feel what you feel, If you feel what you feel, And I see what you see, If you see what you see, So it goes on and on On it goes, on and on Its my heart and your heart, Its our hearts together, You sing and Ill bring, Well both love together, And all I know is let it grow All youll find is peace of mind.
Like a slow burn slow burn, Ya move that mama over to me Get on top of me woman Get on top Let me see what you learned tonight Then I talk in tongues mama Oh when I love you Yes I talk in tongues Get on top of me woman Get on top, Get on top of me woman I just wanna see what you learned Well like a bitch dog in heat we had those bed springs a Squeakin all day long And didnt you hear those walls a talkin
Lady time fly away Ive been thinking bout my yesterday Oh, please listen darlin to my empty prayers Sleep inside my dreams tonight All I need to know tonight are you and my child Oh, is he a soldier or is he a dreamer? Is he mamas little man? Does he help you when he can? Or does he ask about me? Just like a soldier boy I been out fighting wars That the world never knows about But I never win them loud Theres no crowds around me But when I get to thinkin bout the old days When love was here to stay I wonder if wed ever tried Oh, what Id give to hold him.
If you′re ever in New York...(Is it a girl?) If you′re ever in New York, there′s not very Many carnivals going on And that may not be much, but uh...

In my heart is where I long for you In my smile I search for you Each time you turn and run away I cry inside My silly way, just too young to know any more In my world the devil dances and dares To leave my soul just anywhere, Until I find peace in this world Ill sing a song everywhere I can Just too young to know any more The wind covers me cold The starry skies all around my eyes Far behind the city moans Well worthy of the people there Oh, the psalms they love to hear So let me sing a song for you Just to help your day along Let me sing a song for you One Ive known so very long Oh, please could you find the time.
Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me Sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks, For you sing, touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow: O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow I am puzzled as the newborn child I am troubled at the tide: Should I stand amid the breakers? Should I lie with death my bride? Hear me sing, swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you: Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
