Cassandra Wilson

Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love

Some day some day
I say some day my prince will come
Some day some day

Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be,
When the prince of my dreams comes to me

He'll whisper "I love you"
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true,
come true.

Some day
Some day my prince will come
Some day some day

Some day I'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And I'll know him the moment we meet,
moment we meet
For my heart will be skipping a beat

Some day we'll say and do
All the things we've been longing to
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true

He's somewhere waiting for me
There is someone I'm longing to see
Someone I simply can't help but adore
Someone who thrills me forever more

Some day some day
I said I'm gonna find my love some day
Some day some day
I said I'm gonna find my love my love some day
Some day some day
I said some day I'm gonna find my love
Some day some day
I said he's out there waiting for me
Some day some day
I said some day
Some day some day
Oh no no no no no no

Some day some day
I said some day my prince is
Some day some day
He'll whisper "I love you"
Some day some day
I said he's somewhere waiting for me
Some day some day
I said he's gonna come baby to me
Some day some day -

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'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

The sky was blue and high above
The moon was new and so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, where can you be?

You came at last, love had its day
That day is past, you've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover, come back to me

I remember every little thing
You used to do, I'm so lonely
Every road I walked along
I walked along with you
No wonder I am so lonely

The sky was blue, the night was cold
The moon was new but love was old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover, come back to me

Oh, I remember every little thing
You used to do, I'm so lonely
Every road I walked along
I walked along with you
No wonder I am so lonely

Oh, the sky was blue, the night was cold
The moon was new but love was old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing

Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back
Lover, lover, come back, lover, come back

Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back
Lover, come back, lover, come back, lover, come back
Lover, come back, lover, come back to me

Lover, come back, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Lover, come, lover, come, lover, come back

All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn't that be loverly?

Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal burnin', lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn't that be loverly?

Oh, so loverly sittin' absobloomin'lutely still
I would never budge till spring
Crept over the window sill

Oh, just someone's head restin' on my knee
Warm and tender as he can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn't that be loverly?
Loverly, loverly, loverly
Wouldn't that be loverly and?

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

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...

We come from a place on the planet
Where crystal create subatomic sound
The mother lode is raw with the rhythym, rhythym
Quantum music goes up and down on
Jump world, jump world

Psychomusicians gather together
To sing their songs on the square
Why don't you come to jump world?
You can beam here from anywhere

Why don't you jump to jump world?
Phase jump into an other reality
Phase jump into an other reality
Phase jump into an other reality
Phase jump into an other reality
Phase jump into an other reality

Let's go, we don't have much time
But I'mma take you in this rhyme
To a place where you can live in bliss
With a groove that moves like this
Cause it's time we had our own
King with a kingdom and his throne
Now jump world is that place I'm talking about

Yo wes, we gotta check it out
We been dreaming for far too long
And someone else has been singing our song
That ain't right, it's got to be wrong
And that ain't where we belong

So our leader led us into a better place
So we could get away from the face of danger
And now we're free we can be what we want to be
Since we jumped into reality
Jump world has set us free
This joint is jumping, the bass is thumping
Jump into jump world, jump jump into jump world

We come from a place on the planet
Where crystal create subatomic sound
The mother load is raw with the rhythym, rhythym
Quantum music goes up and down on
Jump world, jump world

Move your funky feet to the funky beat
The rhythym ain't hard to keep
If you got soul let it take control
And jump world as good as gold
A little rhythym a little rhyme
Will take you there each and every time
What's mine is yours and what's your is mine
Cause we live in harmony
And we all are family
If you want to be free
You better come on and jump with me
Into jump world

Like a fool, I believed in your lies
Those words behind your eyes
You walked into something
Sweet and smoothest and warm
You crawled under my skin

You would say that it's all in my mind
You'd never be unkind
Just like a snake wrapped around a heart of gold
You stole my every word

Living inside your world makes me cry
An oceanful of tears
Living inside your love is a lie
Living inside your love is a lie
Lie
Living, living, living, living inside your love.

Living inside your world makes me cry
An oceanful of tears
Living inside your love is a lie
Like a fool, I believed in your lies
Those words behind your eyes
You walked into something
Sweet and smoothest and warm
You crawled under my skin

Like a fool, I believed in your lies

I felt you move beyond the stratosphere
I searched my mind but could't find you there
The night was black, a comet pierced the sky
How can it be that you don't hear my cry?
All through the night I tossed
It seemed as if a thousand years
Were slipping past my eyes
And falling, tear by tear

Love phases dimensions
And travels faster than the speed of light
Love phases dimensions
Growing stronger

We're worlds apart and yet you must be near
The planet burns, I said I have no fear
Tonight you sleep beneath a foreign moon
I pray to god you'll be returning soon
As nebulae collapse and galaxies disintegrate
Our hearts will meet regardless of the wait

Love phases dimensions
And travels faster than the speed of light
Love phases dimensions
And it's growing stronger

This world may be so unkind
Blindness abounds, deaf to the sounds
Sweeter than angels' voices
Calling from beyond the water

Black child break wild
Move this world, no need to fear
All the tears and the pain
Will dissipate like clouds in summer
After rain that rings with thunder

Spirits move through you
Day by day, day by day
Now is the time for redesigning a mind
You will need to rock this calling
And send the mighty swifly falling
Swiftly falling, falling

On my way on my way
On my way on my way
On my way
Back there again
Back to the warm spot in the middle of your soul
I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there
If I have my own way

Oh, I been running sideways
Skipping 'round the holes
I have made my mind up I'm gonna have him
Anyway that I can
And so I'm on my way
On my way on my way
On my way on my way
Back there again
Back to the warm spot
In the middle of your soul

Coppercolored conjure man
Wave your magic wand and rescue me
I've been searching far and wide
For someone to care for me
You're my angel in the morning light
You're my devil in the dark of night
I've been searching far and wide
But you've been out of sight, out of sight

On my way on my way
On my way on my way
On my way
Back there again
Back to the warm spot in the middle of your soul
Back there again
Back to the warm spot in the middle of your soul

(devil in the dark come back)
(devil in the dark come back)
You are the one true...

Chocolate-colored conjure man
Wave your magic wand and rescue me
I've been searching far and wide
For someone to care for me
You're my angel in the morning light
You're my devil in the dark of night
I've been searching far and wide
But you've been out of sight, out of sight

I want to give you all i can give you
Leave no trace behind
I want to give you all i can give you
Leave no trace behind
I want to give you all i can give you
Leave no trace behind
I want to give you all i can give you
Leave no trace behind

We speak in separate words
We love in differeent colors
Our love is madness
How can it be?
This is a mystery to me

You broke into my world
Shattering all the lies that I'd heard all my life
You were a whirlwind bending the trees, bending the trees
I am a summer breeze

Can I ride with you?
I know that the road is long
Can I ride with you?
I know I will be strong

Until the journey's end
We are forever friends, you and I
You were a whirlwind bending the trees, bending the trees
I'll be a summer breeze

She walks along the city streets as if no would dare
Follow the path that she has chosen to take her anywhere
She walks beneath the city lights, no other way
Until she captures every eye and makes the pavement sway

Woman on the edge, something to behold
Her happiness is simple and clear
Like a spot of shade or a bottle of beer
Coolin' the day away

She looks at the moon and laughs
Then away she goes
Until a stranger passes by that she might want to know
He's got a penny in his pocket he wants to give away
She looks at him dead in the eye, spits on the street and says

"ho, I don't need your money, I don't need your time
I'm on my way to another world
Where the people play like clouds in the sky,"

Clouds in the sky, clouds in the sky
Why don't you stop and ask her
How she feels about the life she's living?

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

The spark in your eyes sets my soul on fire
Your voice is like a heaven above
The touch of your hand drives me insane
But baby, I wants to be loved

I'm crazy about every little thing you do
I cherish the way that you hug
Your kiss is so sweet, honey, it can't be beat
But baby, I wants to be loved

Every time I ask you for a date
You don't come at all, or you're mighty late
I ask you to dance; take a little spin
You say "Wait a minute Ma'am, bang bang...here come my friends"

I love the way you walk when you pass me by
Even when you try to shrug
You kill me, honey darling when you give me the eye
But baby, I wants to be loved

Strike a match so I can see
If I've been down here before
Where is the floor?
What is it for?

Strike a pose
Imagining love and estatic applause
Suckling big parts
You are on task

Strike a vein so we can see
If it leaves some kind of mark
No, its too dark
It's dark

Strike a tone for shadowing
Things that were meant to come true
Darker than blue
Older than you

Strike a match so I can see
If I've been down here before
Where is the floor?
What is it for?

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee

This world may be so unkind
Blindness abounds, deaf to the sounds
Sweeter than angels' voices
Calling from beyond the water

Black child break wild
Move this world, no need to fear
All the tears and the pain
Will dissipate like clouds in summer
After rain that rings with thunder

Spirits move through you
Day by day, day by day
Now is the time for redesigning a mind
You will need to rock this calling
And send the mighty swifly falling
Swiftly falling, falling

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

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock ticks, and think of you.
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new.
Flash back, warm night, almost left behind.
Suitcase of memories.....
Time after --

Sometime you pictured me, I'm walking too far ahead.
You're callin' to me, I can't hear what you've said.
You said, 'Go slow, I fall behind '
The second hand unwinds.....

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting,
Time after time.

I turn, my picture fades, and darkness has turned to grey.
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay.
Secrets, stolen, from deep inside,
The drum beats out of time.....

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting,
Time after time.

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting,
Time after time.

Vietnam Vietnam, everybody cryin' about Vietnam
Vietnam Vietnam, everybody cryin' about Vietnam

The law all the days killing me down in Mississippi, nobody seems to give a damn

Oh God if you can hear my prayer now, please help my brothers over in Vietnam

Oh God if you can hear my prayer now, please help my brothers over in Vietnam

The poor boys fightin', killin' and hidin' all in holes,

Maybe killin' their own brother, they do not know

Mr. President you always cry about peace, but you must clean up your house before you leave

Oh how you cry about peace, but you must clean up your house before you leave

How can you tell the world how we need peace, and you still mistreat and killin' poor me.

(* Another blues about Vietnam, from 1966. This time J B Lenoir links it to the racial murders in the Southern States at the time.*)

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people sayYour friends tell you there's no future
in loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be rightAm I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
knowing I got a wife and two little children
depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
for the gentleness of your touch
knowing I got somebody else at home
who needs me just as muchAnd are you wrong to fall in love
with a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be rightAre you wrong to give your love
to a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be rightI don't wanna be right
if it means sleeping alone at night
I don't wanna be right
if it means coming home at night
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna never, never, never be right

A Little Warm Death
A Little Warm Death won't hurt you none

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.
I said the blues came along and drove my spirit away.

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 got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read?
It said, "Hurry, hurry, yeah, your love is dead."

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.

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
