A Little Warm Death
A Little Warm Death won't hurt you none
Come on Relax with me
Let me take away your physicalities

One little warm death coming up
One little warm death with me tonight

A little sweet death
One little cherry breathless mist
Feels like eternity,
There's nobody here, Just you and me

One little warm death coming 'round
One little sweet death with me tonight

In and out of stages
Like the fazes of the moon
It can shine so brightly
Let the fullness soon come soon come soon

But now I feel you near me
See you much more clearly
I can hardly wait to
Feel you moving through my world oh my world

Isn't deep without you

One little warm death'. Come have one (x3)
Little warm death with me tonight

In and out of stages
Like the fazes of the moon
We can shine so brightly
Let the fullness soon come soon come soon

But now I feel you near me
See you much more clearly and
I can hardly wait to
Feel you moving through my world oh my world

Isn't deep without you

One little warm death'. Come have one (x3)
Little warm death with me tonight
My arms tonight

Don't be afraid (x3)
One One little warm death

A Little Warm Death
A Little Warm Death won't hurt you none
Come on Relax with me
Let me take away your physicalities

One little warm death coming up
One little warm death with me tonight

A little sweet death
One little cherry breathless mist
Feels like eternity,
There's nobody here, Just you and me

One little warm death coming 'round
One little sweet death with me tonight

In and out of stages
Like the fazes of the moon
It can shine so brightly
Let the fullness soon come soon come soon

But now I feel you near me
See you much more clearly
I can hardly wait to
Feel you moving through my world oh my world

Isn't deep without you

Feel you moving through my world oh my world

Isn't deep without you

One little warm death'. Come have one (x3)
Little warm death with me tonight
My arms tonight

Don't be afraid (x3)
One One little warm death

When autumn sings her lullaby
And green leaves turn to gold
Then I remember last September
You and I said goodbye
Whispering that we would be returning
When autumn comes again

Now autumn roams the hills once more
But you forgot your vow
Now here am I with, alone with only memories
Only lonely memories, autumn memories of you

Love, when the leaves are turning
I get a hungry yearning for your arms
Love, when a heart is so blue
It shadows bright October's golden charm

The flaming moon reminds me of
The night of love that we once knew
Each tiny star is but a prayer
That when it's fall again, love will call again
And you'll be beside me to make
My autumn dreams come true

Love, when the leaves are turning
I get a hungry yearning for your arms
Love, when a heart is so blue
It shadows bright October's golden charm

The flaming moon reminds me of
The night of love that we once knew
Each tiny star is but a prayer
That when it's fall again, love will call again
And you'll be beside me to make

A day in the life of a fool
A sad and a long lonely day
I walk the avenue
Hoping to run into
The very sight of you coming my way.

I stop just in front of our door
But you're never there any more
So back to my room

And here in the gloom
I cry tears of goodbye

Til you come back to me
That's the way it will be
Everyday in the life of a fool

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our Caravan

Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sands so I may keep
The memory of our Caravan

This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms

You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert Caravan

This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our Caravan
That shines upon our Caravan
Oooh

I can hear his heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time he smiles
And when I come to him, that's where I belong
And I'm running to him like a river's song
He gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
He gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love

He's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feelin low down
And when I come to him, well, the sun goes down
Take away my troubles, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, I can go back to sleep
He gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
He gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Yes I need him in the daytime
Yes I need him in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around him...
Kiss him, hug him, kiss him, hold him tight

When I'm returning from so far away, he gives me sweet loving
Brightens up my day
Yes he makes me righteous
Yes he makes me whole
Yes he makes me mellow down to my soul

Dancing in dream time, we live forever
One mind, one soul
From the beginning

Constantly flowing into creation
Suns grow, moons die
World without ending

All of god's creatures
Alive with the spirit of the sun
Cycles and season abide
By the sprit of the sun
All of god's creatures
Alive with spirit of the sun
Cycles and seasons abide
By the spirit of the sun

When it's darkness on the delta
That's the time my heart is light
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night

Fields of cotton all around me
Darkies singin' sweet and low
Lord, I'm lucky that you found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow

Lounging on the levee
Listenin' to the nightingales way up above
Laughter on the levee
No one's heart is heavy

All God's children got someone to love
When it's darkness on the delta
Only heaven is in sight
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night

I got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read?
It said, "Hurry, hurry, yeah, your love is dead."
I got a letter this mornin, I say how do you reckon it read?
You know, it said, "Hurry, hurry, how come the gal you love is dead?"

So, I grabbed up my suitcase, and took off down the road.
When I got there she was layin on a coolin board.
I grabbed up my suitcase, and I said and I took off down the road.
I said, but when I got there she was already layin on a coolin board.

Well, I walked up right close, looked down in her face.
Said, the good ole gal got to lay here til the Judgment Day.
I walked up right close, and I said I looked down in her face.
I said the good ole gal, she got to lay here til the Judgment Day.

Looked like there was 10,000 people standin round the buryin ground.
I didn't know I loved her til they laid her down.
Looked like 10,000 were standin round the buryin ground.
You know I didn't know I loved her til they damn laid her down.

Lord, have mercy on my wicked soul.
I wouldn't mistreat you baby, for my weight in gold.
I said, Lord, have mercy on my wicked soul.
You know I wouldn't mistreat nobody, baby, not for my weight in gold.

Well, I folded up my arms and I slowly walked away.
I said, "Farewell honey, I'll see you on Judgment Day."
Ah, yeah, oh, yes, I slowly walked away.
I said, "Farewell, farewell, I'll see you on the Judgment Day."

You know I went in my room, I bowed down to pray.
The blues came along and drove my spirit away.
I went in my room, I said I bowed down to pray.

You know I didn't feel so bad, til the good ole sun went down.
I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around

I don't want your institutions
They won't give me a solution
To the many problems of the poor and homeless
Dying babies, people acting crazy

You build your world 9 miles high
Think you gonna touch the sky
You might think you see the face of god in all its glory
But the story is not ended

Kind and gentle, what is that?
While some are starving you get fat
You might think "a thousand points of light" will save this shituation
No, domination switch is on

You build your world nine miles high
Think you gonna thouch the sky
You might see the face of god in all its clouds of glory
But the story is not ended

Domination switch
Domination switch
Domination switch
Domination switch is on

Kind and gentle...

I'm gonna get up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gonna get up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom

Well my best gal, I'll be loving
So my friend, get out my room

I'm gonna write a letter to China
See if my baby's over there
[Incomprehensible] I'm gonna write a letter to China
See if my baby's over there

If she ain't up in the Hawaiian islands
Must be in Ethiopia somewhere

I believe, believe my time alone
Yes, I believe, believe my time alone
I've had to quit my baby
And give up my happy home

If blood will flow
when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds
will always stay

On and on the rain will fall
On and on the rain will fall


Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are


If blood will flow
when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds
will always stay

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

If blood will flow
when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds
will always stay

On and on the rain will fall
On and on the rain will fall


Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are

But something in our minds

On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

You love sun in the distance
Trying to be a pretty golden brown.
Smoke and rum is my mission
Happiness is all I need right now.

Gonna come a time
There's gonna come a time when
I can go to Mexico

I believe in the here and now
I believe in the here and now tomorrow's pain will melt away.

Get your hands on the trigger
I saw the latest story on TV
A blue bag flowed past my window
This helicopter's too damn close to me.

And there's
There's gonna come a time
There will come a time, we'll be just like Mexico

When I go there
When I go there, I'll be wearing purple ribbons when I go there
When I go there, I'll be dancing in the street when I go there
When I go there...

We can go to Mexico

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say

Just like children sleepin
We could dream this night away

But theres a full moon risin
Let's go dancin in the light

We know where the musics playin
Let's go out and feel the night

Because Im still in
love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in
love with you
On this harvest moon

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar

When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart

But now it's gettin late
And the moon is climbin high

I want to celebrate
See it shinin in your eye

Because Im still in
love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in
love with you
On this harvest moon

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say

Just like children sleepin
We could dream this night away

But theres a full moon risin
Let's go dancin in the light

We know where the musics playin
Let's go out and feel the night

Because Im still in
love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in
love with you
On this harvest moon

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar

When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart

But now it's gettin late
And the moon is climbin high

I want to celebrate
See it shinin in your eye

Because Im still in
love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in
love with you
On this harvest moon
