Tonight You're mine completely
You Give your love so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes But will you love me tomorrow? Is this a lasting treasure? Or just a moment's pleasure Can I believe the magic of your sighs Will you still love me tomorrow? Tonight with words unspoken You say that I'm the only one But will my heart be broken When the night Meets the Morning Sun? I'd like to know that your love Is one I can be sure of So Tell me now and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow? Will you still love me tomorrow... |

Vanessa's Father.
He liked to be alone creating works of art which he painted in a cottage made of stone one day I crept inside and I was unaware of what I was going to find well the pictures opened up my mind I saw sculptures of young lovers intertwined. And on their bodies he had signed his name and so I left that place w a different look upon my face. When I was 15 and he a certain charm the way he smiled at me and the way he gently touched my arm. And somehow we would always be alone When it was time to take me home and so we'd speed through the country side In his convertable we'd ride. Vanessa's Father was driving me home at night, and I never said word oh but somehow we just got here. Her father was driving me home at night oh when I think back to then I would count the days til I could go there again. oh no oh no oh no Another weekend. Strange thoughts inside of me. Is it vanessa whom, I am really going there to see I'd smoke a ciggerette, I thought so secretly but the door it gently opened and he stood there smiling down at me then he pushed me backwards against the wall I looked up cause he's so tall and then he stared into my eyes and kissed me so hard I cried. Vanessa's father was sleeping w me at night and I never said a word but somehow we just got here her father was sleeping w me at night when I think back then, I would count the days I could see him again. oh no oh no oh no the shaft of lite would fall against my skin that would seem sensual to him but I'm too young to use these qualities you bet I must be evil I must be tainted He'd breath against the girl he's paint |

Market in the cool white mornin'
Merchants sell while women buy Milk, tobacco, soap and matches Sweep the floor While the dishes dry Spring whispered in her ear Like soft Mediterranean wailin' Sleepy woman by the window Dreamin' in the morning air Of the one who takes her sweetness By a chinese lamp upstairs The steam of china tea You could hear the woman sing In the soft flames of spring Spring has swept the scarlet side streets Winds caress, undress, invite Upstairs by a china lamp They softly talk in the cool spring night |

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face I climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space On the roof, it's peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now When I come home feelin' tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof) I get away from the hustling crowd And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof) On the roof, the only place I know Where you just have to wish to make it so Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof) At night the stars put on a show for free And, darling, you can share it all with me I keep a-tellin' you Right smack dab in the middle of town I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof) And if this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two Up on the roof (up on the roof) Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof) Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof) Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof) Everything is all right (up on the roof) |

I was a sweet baby in my mother's arms, we were strolling through the park.
Picnic, peace walk, progress. Just a baby in her arms, my politics are based on her charms. Triple Goddess Twilight, slow down. Feel the land, violet everywhere, I'll meet you there. Mother, you died young and left me. Your twilight colors, rose, ah, burgundy, coral mist. What are the shades of loneliness? Triple Goddess Twilight, late sky violet and pink. All roads lead to Venus. I'll meet you there in your dream of progress. My grandfather painted houses on a ladder in the sky. He was working class, urbane, streetwise. Said, “We can change the world, girl, love will inspire.?? Told me this through whiskey and revolutionary fire. Triple Goddess Twilight, last trace of ruby and flame. First star leads to Venus. He left a war to talk in peace now. Sad life was for our dream, our dream of progress. |

Did you read about it In a magazine? Silent lies Never give you what you need Is there hope For a mother And an elf on speed? Kiss the sun hello Child in the park Make your life a lovin' thing I'm so tired You're so wired And I'm a poet Without a poem And you are my child "So serene" Read about us in a magazine Then why are we Crying by the washing machine? Let's run away child And follow a dream Kiss the sun hello Child in the park Make your life a lovin' thing The park is late The wind is strong The trees have eyes And you are my song My lovely song What is love? Child I am here to stand by you And you will find You own way hard and true And I'll find mine 'Cause I'm growin' with you Kiss the sun hello God & Goddess Make his life a lovin' thing And if I smile as you reach above the climbin' bars To see the stars You are my love Child my love |

Do you wanna make a sweet dream fade after all the tries we made?
Never mind perfection, heroes or heroines. Tonight, let's be lovers again. Tonight, lover, let's be friends or make a sweet dream fade. Too many tears can dim the light, give or take, wrong or right. Innovation, make amends, tonight, let's be lovers again. Tonight, let's be lovers again. Tonight, lover, let's be friends or make a sweet dream fade. Kids cry, money flies away. Dream on, baby, dream on. Where have all the years gone? Do you wanna make a sweet dream fade after all the tries we made? Never mind perfection, heroes or heroines. Tonight, let's be lovers again. Tonight, oo, baby, lover, let's be friends, lover, let's be friends or make a sweet dream fade. Lover, let's be friends, lover, let's be friends or make a sweet dream fade. Lover, let's be friends or make a sweet dream fade. |

I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book Jesus Till I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the Stoney End I never wanted to go Down the Stoney End Mama let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again I can still remember him With love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the Stoney End I never wanted to go Down the Stoney End Mama let me start all over Cradle me, mama, cradle me again (Cradle me, mama, cradle me again Mama, cradle me again...) Never mind the forecast 'Cause the sky has lost control 'Cause the furry and the broken thunders Come to match my raging soul Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the Stoney End I never wanted to go Down the Stoney End Mama let me start all over Cradle me, mama, cradle me again Going down the Stoney End... |

I walk the path of heart and soul. I make my living building homes.
I build them out of music with my imagination. Sound architectural tools I use. My boss is the Muse. Serious playground, I'm down for the music of my life. Serious playground, day or night. I walk the path of heart and soul. I try to make a living of my own Out of music and celebration, sound architecture and rose and blues. My boss is the Muse. Serious playground, that's where I work and play. Serious playground, night or day. More, more than stress or strain. More, more than just capital gain. So send me the music like wings to fly, natural high. Serious playground, I'm down for the music of my life. Serious playground, here for the music, here for the music. Serious playground, for the music of my life. Serious playground, for the music of my life. Serious playground, I'm here for the music of my life. |

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide. It's not love I'm a running from, It's the heartbreak I know will come. 'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me. Ev'rywhere I go your face I see ev'rystep I take you take with me. Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide. I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no. Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep. I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you. When I look in the mirror to comb my hair I see your face just a smiling there. Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby, Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide. I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me, How can I fight a lover that shouldn't be when it's so deep, so deep, deep inside of me My love reaches so high I can't get over it. It's so wide I can't get around it, no Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby. Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try to baby, Nowhere to hide. I know you're no good for me, but free of you I'll never be, Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide, Got Nowhere To Run to baby. |

Blue berry A rush on rum Of brush and drum And the past is a blue note Inside me I ran away in the morningNew York tendaberry Blue berry Rugs and drapes and drugs And capes Sweet kids in hunger slums Firecrackers break And they cross And they dust And they skate And the night comesI ran away in the morningNow I'm back Unpacked Sidewalk and pigeon You look like a city But you feel like a religion To meNew York tendabery True berry I lost my eyes I east wind skies Here where I've cried Where I've tried Where God and the tendaberry rise Where quakers and revolutionaries Join for life For precious years Joined for life Through silver tearsNew York tendaberry |

Hello? he said,
"Hello?" "I'd like to see you" he said "Sweetheart look You know what happens when we get together I mean I've heard of liberation, But sweetheart - you're in outer space." Oh, Mister Blue I've been studying the radar in the sky I can almost run, fly Listen like the animals do, I'm ready to meet the crew Yes, I'm ready for you Earth calling you I've been a gypsy fire, warm desire You've seen this too Roger and out Mr. Blue This is the song of communications Sending out peace vibrations, Genuine cause to end our wars Or is this the song of complications? A hopeless declaration? Can we mend, transcend The broken dishes of our love? Our conflicts? Can we be friends? "Hello?" he said "Hello?" "This is your copilot," he said ??Yeah - look sweetheart I've loved you - but you can be so arrogant, And you don't know anything about being cool." Oh Mister Blue, I've been studying the radar in the sky Measuring earth and time The rainbows on your pillow are new, I'm a fucking mad scientist too Baby, baby let the one who loves you come thru ... Baby come thru...baby come thru... Earth calling...you... Baby come thru...baby come thru... Earth calling... This is the song of communications (Baby come thru...) Written on a peace vibration (Baby come thru...) Earth calling... (Is this the song of complications?) Earth calling, calling calling calling you Oh Mr Blue, oh Mr Blue |

On a street corner
Where the kids boogie all night Or where the winds sing And the stars shine Like holiday lights Come a band of angels Salvation in their might And as for peace on earth... Feel this love My brothers and sisters Feel the season turn She is the mother of time Wonders that take you Rivers that give That's where mother's spiritual lives Talk of a ruby love Lovers share Find your love Lose your love Here and there So you go home Do your own thing And the ocean sings to me That love is always alive And part of thee Feel this love My brothers and sisters Feel the season turn She is the mother of time Light and darkness Come to her kiss 'cause that's where mother's spiritual lives Come to the lights, my sisters And take what you need Doesn't matter, my brothers Your Sunday creed 'cause each one's a lover To this winter night star A pilgrim'a pioneer That's who you are Feel this love My brothers and sisters Feel the season turn She is the mother of time It's not war It's life she gives And that's where mother's spiritual lives |

I'm young enough I'm old enough To paint a smile I tasted heaven and hell Heaven, stay a while A good friend Is a rare find Their straight talk Can ease your mind A good pimp's Gonna rob you blind Money money money I feel like a pawn In my own world I found the system And I lost the pearl It's breaking me down Well, you don't wake You don't shake You just make the sound Go round and round and round And round Bleed a little Bleed a little Till your freedom calls you Somewhere out Children laugh Like meteors Rolling down the grass Mothers pull the nighttime in Calling their children With spoons in the wind But not for me She said I'm young enough I'm old enough In the city machine Where industries Fill the fish Full of mercury (It's tax-free) She said My struggle hurt But it turned me on And when my revolution came The chain was gone On my feet To the sound of my heartbeat Money money money Do you feel like a pawn In your own world? You found the system And you lost the pearl Like leaves coming down You've got to wake, shake Make your vibe go round And round and round and round |

You make me laugh You make me tremble But I'm as strong as you Midnite blue Midnite blue You're funny And I like you too Shy, sly, gypsy high now You could touch the sky now Midnite blue There's smoke in the kitchen Shrimps curled The sun on black velvet And high stars At the bottom of the world Smile all you want But you know That I'm fine In the warm hands Of midnite blue Now the river music haunts me Its spirit calling me Where's my midnite blue' I need his melody Oh, midnite blue Where are you' Oh, midnite blue Come to me Oh, midnite blue I need your melody I need your melody I need the rhythm of your melody Cause I love you Midnite blue |

Where is your woman?
Gone to Spanish Harlem? Gone to buy you pastels? Where is your woman? Gone to Spanish Harlem? Gone to buy you books and bells Beneath Indian summer? Take my hand now There is a land now In the treasure of love. Jade and coral Perfume from Siam In the treasure of love. To your fingertips To the summer sunset In the treasure of love In the treasure of love, in the treasure of love. Light the night Oh, light the night Come my way Light the night. Come to me baby You got the look that I adore, that I understand My pretty medicine man My pretty medicine man Got pretty medicine in his head For you I bear down Soft and burning In the treasure of love In the treasure of love In the treasure of love, love. Where is your woman? Gone to Spanish Harlem? Gone to buy you pastels? |

Lazy Susan, lazy through, hasn창?р??t got a think to do. Oh, but to sit there and light up the hillside, sun-fried, black-eyed Sue. Lazy Susan, lazy through, all the hills in love with you, Courted and cradled by Heaven and hillside, sun-fried, black-eyed Sue, black-eyed Sue, black-eyed. Black-eyed Sue, how happy you must be. Once, I too had someone loving me. Johnny, Johnny, warm and true, that창?р??s how I remember you, this morning, just as I found you: up there on the hillside with sun-fried, black-eyed lazy Susan, Susan. |

I never meant to hurt you, I'm not that way at all.
Please believe the words of a heart, a heart that seems so small. And I never meant to hurt you, I guess I lost my place. Please believe the words of a heart, a heart that hides its face. Why do I do things I never mean to do? Why did I speak so carelessly when all that I felt was love for you? And I swear, I never meant to hurt you. I've got to make you know. Please believe the words of a heart, a heart that didn't show. I never meant to hurt you, I only meant to love you it's true. And when I saw you crying, I cried too. |
