That old dog has chained you up alright Give you everything you need to live inside a twisted cage Sleep beside an empty rage I had a dream I was your hero Damn I wish I was your lover I'll rock you till the daylight comes Make sure you are smiling and warm I am everything Tonight I'll be your mother I will Do such things to ease your pain Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue Give you something sweet each time you Come inside my jungle book What is it just too good Don't say you'll stay 'Cause then you go away Damn I wish I was your lover I'll rock you till the daylight comes Make sure you are smiling and warm I am everything Tonight I'll be your mother I will Do such things to ease your pain Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed Shucks for me there is no other You're the only shoe that fits I can't imagine I'll grow out of it Damn I wish I was your lover
If I was your girl believe me I'd turn on the Rolling Stones We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever and ever and ever and ever Give me an hour to kiss you Walk through heaven's door I'm sure We don't need no doctor to feel much better Let me in Forever and ever and ever and ever
I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear Walked for days with no one near And I return as chained and bound to you Damn I wish I was your lover I'll rock you till the daylight comes Make sure you are smiling and warm I am everything Tonight I'll be your mother I will Do such things to ease your pain Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed Shucks for me there is no other You're the only shoe that fits I can't imagine I'll grow out of it Damn I wish I was your lover
You Poor you Playing so long but you're still not grooving I see you running but I see you ain't moving And me Pitiful me I sleep with both eyes open but I'm just not seeing The forest let alone the trees California here I come Open up your golden arms
Oh angel it's understood What we could Do together's every bit much better than good I ain't looking for the sky to Cover my head Cover me I'll cover you again and again and again Stay up all night to feed your fire My day's a dream with you on my mind I wake up tight full of desire And you are the one who can unwind My weather's always a surprise Don't think you'll ever come prepared But love's the lighthouse in my life If you get scared When you look in my eyes Do you have faith like me Love can heal the wounds That cry us all to sleep When you hear nature's voice Whispering in your ear Is heaven a-rejoicing Even through the tears When you become your light Shining like the sun Is peace within your mind Where everything is one Evil will not destroy When love is in your hand Now can be make believe The mysteries we understand Us angels we give it up Just enough Keep each other hanging on with a heavenly touch I ain't playing with a goal to Cover my ass I am naked like a baby in the summer grass New York's the only place I know I'll take you on a guided tour Through Central Park where only those With seven senses feel secure Then from my rooftop in the clouds We'll dive into the glowing sea And when we're falling look around And tell me what you see When you look in my eyes Do you have faith like me Love can heal the wounds That cry us all to sleep
I lied I stole in the name of fear But I won't be silent here I don't want somewhere to run to I don't want somebody I can shake Lord I want my dignity again Before I wakl on fire You gotta look me in the face I won't flinch And I won't turn away I'm s
I saw you there All I wanted was to start with you Was the hardest thing I ever had to do Till I made you care Yo brother You sure heard me Banging on the big drums for your love You called me baby then Talked to me like your best friend When the time was right you were so good Asked me what I like And I said Don't stop swaying baby You soothe my soul and I stop searching When I get lost in the rhythm Everything stops hurting Don't stop swaying baby Take it slow And I keep yearning Again I fall Lighter than the morning dew Fresh 'Cause I always never knew What I'm stumbling on Yo sister You sure heard me Singing in the rain for some love You took me unaware Said things to make me care Now the time is ripe and you're so good Ask me what I like and I say Don't stop swaying baby You soothe my soul and I stop searching When I get lost in the rhythm Everything stops hurting Don't stop swaying baby Take it slow And I keep yearning Spoken: Hansel and Gretel are holding hands deep in the forest. They are lost. This is their own story. The two have fallen in love, and so, after a long quietness amidst the creatures of the night, they begin to kiss. Traveling like heat through each other's bodies, they pass through centuries of insecurity and into a rhythm where they are not afraid. (Don't stop swaying baby...) Mamma has led these children into the wild unknown for reasons, known, with father's help, of course, they tried very hard to get back home, but of course, they could not. (Don't stop swaying baby...) And so, they find themselves through the
I'm dancing in the shadows of life And death is all around me tonight I miss you making love to me right Beside myself I'm holding you tight Someone is waiting for me to rise And drive into the ocean I cried And I cried and I cried my baby to sleep Beside myself my soul to keep Right beside you I see Right beside you I stay Right beside you I'll be Right beside you always We're dancing in the shade of the summer sun The drums are playing The change to come was yesterday In the heat beside myself I need to keep Right beside you I feel Right beside you I am Right beside you I kneel Right beside you I stand Right beside you I see Right beside you I stay Right beside you I'll be Right beside you always Driving into town with the top down Sun sinking low into the water I can feel your speed One hand on the wheel One hand on my knee I can tell you what I want You can tell me what you need Darling nights are getting cooler And the city's so close There's a place we can do it Somewhere right along the coast We'll arive on time Just a little bit late It's not a matter of style Just a lesson in taste I remember when I was your child You made me up to be your lover Now I'm sitting right beside you Other people still exist I don't pretend to love them less but darling When you drive this way I lose my breath Right beside you I feel Right beside you I am Right beside you I kneel Right beside you I stand Right beside you I see Right beside you I stay Right beside you I'll be Always
It felt like spring time on this February morning In a courtyard birds were singing your praise I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright I carried them with me today Now As I lay me down to sleep This I pray That you will hold me dear
I'm a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place You've launched a secret heart with your face You don't always say what I want to hear but you move me Across the rooftops and into the deep blue sea Did we not choose each other Are we just heroes for a day This time I will stand by you And mine is the heart I will save I drew a hard line but I just can't see it Your colors are bleeding all over my bullshit I wanna be your star but I gotta learn to feel myself I want your love and I need your help Did we not choose each other Are we just heroes for a day This time I will stand by you And mine is the heart I will save Can we not judge each other I'd rather wipe your tears away I can follow my heart til the end But I just can't choose the way Just because we live like dolphins together So many reasons to break the wave We can swim from street lamp to street lamp whatever We can be kissing in the rain Can we not judge each other I'd rather wipe your tears away I can follow my heart til the end But I just can't choose the way Listen baby listen baby Don't you do me wrong I can my my bed You can sing your song Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine If it's truth you seek Then darling Love you'll find I don't wanna I don't wanna Take your pain away It isn't yours to give It isn't mine to save Here's my heart Here's my hand Here's my soul Take it in Take it apart Take it easy Let it go

Virgil Cain is my name And I served on the Danville train Till Stoneman's cavalry came And tore up the tracks again In the winter of '65 We were hungry Just barely alive I took the train to Richmond had fell It was a time I remember oh so well The night
Falling falling Into the river of your soul for me to know I am floating on this current somewhere where love abounds Distant calling The sun goes down the beasts start home say come along I ain't about to shake off this sweet water, it's warm Oh babe, y
