Sometimes I think about Saturday's child
And all about the times when we were running wild I've been out searching for the dolphins in the sea Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me This old world will never change the way it's been And all the ways of war won't change it back again I've been out searchin' for the dolphin in the sea Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me This old world will never change |

Summer princess, midnight maiden
When I first saw you I just breathed Into your smile my past went fadin' Inside your voice, my mind was sheathed In lost lagoon, we waited, wadin' Along the streets we went paradin' Never looking back to where we'd been Autumn temptress, sundown angel Inside your blood you aren't so young I came to you a loving vandal And heard your heart and touched your tongue Day became a lighted candle Sky fell down beneath your sandal In your eye I began to spin Winter harlot, moontime lover I can't speak when I feel this way Don't keep your feelings undercover Tell me what you want today Don't leave me in the air to hover Sing it out don't make me suffer Don't be ashamed love is no sin Springtime woman, sunrise girl I am hiding behind the sea Trick or treat, the Hallowe'en world Hide and seek but you can't catch me I won't chase you until you hurl Your wing to me, and make me twirl You're alive underneath my skin |

Although you've spoken many times before,
A sight of birth he leaves you by a door. And now you know he doesn't understand. And all you need is the warmth of his hand. And if he'd smile your loving blood would dance, One silent kiss leaves you in a trance. And now you know you cannot live alone, But you will find your future is unknown. One day the questions rise. On wings of chance you fly. And on that day your laughs and tears will die, And fall as free as seabirds climb the skies. And you will love when love comes your way. And when it comes there's nothing more to say. And now you know he doesn't understand, And now you know you don't need his hand. One day the questions die, On wings of chance you fly. |

In the white light of Easter seas'n will you live again? Today the coin is in the air And we are here and there And where and when have caught us in The web of violence I pray to all the world as one that day will bring the sun In the scarlet light of Valentine's our paper hearts are blind |

Someday you'll know that leaving me was wrong. But don't bother all that time is gone. And it happens every time.

She is the day that gives me time to live and ???? love my life.
Till nite comes on with sundown scythe to end the puzzle pantomime. She is a day of love. She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands. She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands. She is the bridge on which I wait to watch the river 'neath me flow. All spinning, surging far below ???? ???? ????? She is a bridge of love. She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands. She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands. She is the air I breathe ????? Awake, asleep in ??? calm. A wind to wash my lifted palm, A sky that calls me out to dance. She is the air of love. She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands. She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands. She is the smile that keeps me warm with matchless laughter, eyes ablaze. A mischief mystery she plays upon the flute of early morn. She is a smile of love. She is the day thru which I walk toward the bridge where she stands. She is the air I breathe to sing, she is a smile without demands. |

Photographs of guns and flame
Scarlet skull and distant game Bayonet and jungle grin Nightmares dreamed by bleeding men Lookouts tremble on the shore But no man can find the war Tape recorders echo scream Orders fly like bullet stream Drums and cannons laugh aloud Whistles come from ashen shroud Leaders damn the world and roar But no man can find the war Is the war across the sea? Is the war behind the sky? Have you each and all gone blind Is the war inside your mind? Humans weep at human death All the talkers lose their breath Movies paint a chaos tale Singers see and poets wail All the world knows the score But no man can find the war |

He will sing for the day to bring him night The circus burns in carnival flame And for a while you won't know my name at all But sing and dance and love for pennies and gold The juggling clown smiles to me And every frown we agree is glad The nighttime comes to bring the bums From Bowery heat to Crimson Streets of wine But magic lands will never touch our sands Your children smile in single file They learn mistakes that others make They see although they cannot know The needs they'll need to have their greed grow wild But dance and sing for others bring the shame And for a while you won't know my name |

I never asked to fly Remember when you came to me And told me of his lies You didn't understand my love You don't know why I try And the rain was falling on that day And damn the reason why The flying pisces sails for time And tells me of my child Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache He begs for just a smile O he never asked to be her mountain He never asked to fly And through his eye he comes his love And tells her not to cry She says, "your scoundrel father flies With a dancer called a queen And with her stolen cards he plays And laughs, but never wins" O the child dreams to be his hands In the counting of the rain But only barren breasts he feels For her milk will never drain As I die I can't remember Where I saw the rain: Could it be that her laughter Drove me down again? Charming dancer will you stop, Stop and talk to me? Is there someone else you feel In your dreams? you will, you see: In midnight gazes I've found you far from me: If you lead me on Please leave me down O flying flying fish Please flutter by my door: Yes you can drink my lies If first you read my eyes: Each one is titled "i'm drowning back to you": I can't swim your waters And you can't walk my lands: I'm sailing all my sins And I'm climbing all my fears And soon now I'll fly O I never asked to be your mountain I never asked to fly Remember when you came to me And told me of his lies You didn't understand my love You don't know why I try And the rain was falling on that day And that's the reason why Sweet lover, will you come back And love me for a while?

Deep down in my heart I can't tell what it is But it won't let go It happens every time I give you more than what I have But now all I need is a little time to sing this song And I think we're gonna find a way to lose this strange feelin' All around I feel ya, darlin', feel ya darlin' When you're home all alone Oh, don't you need somebody to talk your troubles to Ah, lord I know I wanna catch the morning train, lord the first thing Oh, I wanna hear you say we're gonna take that strange feelin' Oh, take it all away Well it's just like a mockingbird a-singing on a hillside Churping at his morning song But don't you weep don't you fret don't you wail don't you moan Can't you hear that whiporwill a-callin? Now don't you worry Your daddy's comin' home He's gonna chase those blues away And believe me when I say We're gonna lose that strange feelin' all around all around... |

Lady, time fly away
I've 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 mama's little man? Does he help you when he can? Or does he ask about me? Oh, just like a soldier boy I've been out fighting wars That the world never knows about Oh, but I never win them loud There's no crowds around me Oh, when I get to thinkin' 'Bout the old days When love was here to stay I wonder if we'd ever tried Oh, what I'd give to hold him |

I had a talk with my woman late last night
And she reassured me everything was alright And time hung still like a falling rain Now I know at last that my love is safe Ah, but when I go away my love I leave Lord I'm but half a man, without her by my side She's this memory that I hold all around She's this dream that I always hold to believe I wanna go upon a mountain, oh, Lord And sing my love, and sing my love I wanna sing it high, sing it down low Then I'm gonna know how long it's gonna last Then I'm gonna know how long it's gonna last Well, you know your Moses, oh Lord he lost his way Ah, and Your Jesus don't remember the words Well, then I guess it's just you and me brother All alone in this cold world, all alone in this cold world Ah, you gotta go upon on mountain And learn to sing your love, learn to sing your love You know I can sing it high, sing it down low Then we gonna know how long it's gonna last Then we gonna know how long she's gonna last Hard rain, sweet rain, fall a little while longer Wash down the city skies, Lord bring the streets alive Make it like it was long before I was born You know I wanna walk around |

You caught me staring
So gently you tease me And turn away Unlike the young ones Your movements you savor Like a tango My hideaways Are longing For you You slyly conjure These moments surrounding Keep me tonight All your practiced ways You secretly Entice me Come here woman Like an old window I need a little shade Like an old tomcat Lord, I love to parade Like a broken old man Lord, I need sun Ah, I need you darlin' 'Cause I just ain't done I need you darlin' 'Cause I just ain't done While wheel waters set Now my blood yearns Your mouth opens woman Give me broken lies When you don't feel pain Let me smell your thighs, mama Let me drink down a little rain, man While we're drifting cold Out beyond the seas We wither time into a coil of fear |

Now the sun
Sits on my hand Oh, where Are you? Walking the wind I fly above The shore of the town To the hills Where I can hear The harbor bells Ring slavery Where the fortune teller sighs to me Oh, I see your woman in the raw Ride A mare of stone And howl I woke up While morning built The world With light Crossing their hearts Twelve sailor boys All stood in a ring 'Round our bed Out of the grass A dancer rose Shivering Oh, the sailor's pointing Out to sea And the dancer diving Up the sky Sing 'Til we forgot The day |

Under a loop of stars
In the vulgar cold The dead airport lay By the pebbles of the highway Through the snail clouds You soared to your lover I hurried away my darling With a howl in my throat Hiding inside the weeds In the orange grove The black rooster crowed Through the hollow of the midnight With my shot blood With stains on my fingers I run with the damned, my darling They have taught me to laugh To laugh, to laugh |

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 Oh, my heart, oh, my heart Shies from the sorrow' I am as puzzled as the oyster I am as troubled at the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with death my bride? Hear me sing 'Swim to me, swim to me Let me enfold you Oh, my heart, oh, my heart Is waiting to hold you' |

Somewhere old memories
Echoed from the street in a crying hole Just a song from long ago When I lost my easy gods to the Harlem insect laws I heard your baited moans And the passing cars and the swirling Songs and the black man's bones Through the walls and the stalls and the cackling calls You were there You were an island behind the sun Yes, an island Where my love could live and life breathes From deep inside Deep, deep, deep, deep inside Mama Lie, I love you like a jungle fire |

I've got ten thousand troubles, a million woes.
I got grief in my soul nobody knows. I got heartaches, I got stingin' water fallin' out of the sky. I got a long lost lover, got a reason to die. I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes. I got grief in my soul nobody knows. I got sorrow. I'm in a storm that'll spare no travelin' man. I fear tomorrow. Got a love that died long before it began. I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes. I got grief in my soul nobody knows. Got a cold chain. I got rain fallin' on my head from above. I got a bad pain. I got a gal don't know the meaning of love. I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes. I got grief in my soul nobody knows. I got heartaches, I got stingin' water fallin' out of the sky. I got a long lost lover, got a reason to die. I got ten thousand troubles, a million woes. I got grief in my soul nobody knows. |
