Kisses from you in the flames of December's boudoir,
They fill me like melons, Touch me with chivalry, Truly I know, truly I know who you are, December will bear our affair, Running on streets of delight and Decemberry ice. They'll see me, I'm ageless, Loving you timelessly, Love-colored soul, love-colored soul kissing spice, Yes, my love, I take my coffee in the morning, And all your love, A spoonful or so make us grow. Mama was clever, my mama was clever, And my daddy loved her forever, Forever! Kisses from you I'll remember, Kisses from you in the flames of December, Kisses from you, true they are, Kisses from you in the flames of December's boudoir. Oh, mainstream marzipan sweet, Baking out in December heat. |

Emily and her love to be, Carved in a heart on a berry tree But it's only a little farewell love spell, Time to design a woman. Touch me, oh wake me, Emily You ornament the Earth for me Emily, you're the natural snow, The unstudied sea, you're a cameo And I swear you were born a weavers lover, Born for the loom's desire. Move me, oh sway me Emily, the ornament, the Earth for me. Emmie, your Momma's been calling you. Who stole Mamma's heart and cuddled in her garden? Darling Emmie, la, la, la, oo la, la la. You're my friend and I loved you, Emily, Emily, Emily, Emily. She got the way to move me, Emmie. She got the way to move me, yeah. She got the way to move me, Emmie.

My baby don't love me? Hitchike And damn be done Damn be done [Repeat x 7] |

Don't go to gibsom cross the river
The devil is hungry The devil is sweet If you are soft then you will shiver They hang the alley cats on gibsom street I wish my baby were forbidden I wish my world be struck by sleet I wish to keep my mirror hidden To hide the eyes that looked on gibsom street There is a man he knows where I'm going Gave me a strawberry to eat I sucked its juices never knowing That I would sleep that night on gibsom street |

And winter birds don't sing So winter makes you shiver So time is gonna bring you spring so he swears he'll never marry Says that cuddles are a curse Just tell him plain You're on the next train If love don't get there first Time and love Everybody Time and love, Nothing cures like Time and love Don't let the devil fool you Here comes a dove Nothing cures like Time and love So winter froze the river And winter birds don't sing So winter makes you shiver So time is gonna bring you spring you been runnin', you been ramblin', And you don't know what to do A holy golden wager says That love will see you through Time and love So Jesus was an angel And mankind broke his wing But Jesus gave his lifeline So sacred bells could sing now a woman is a fighter Gathered white or African A woman Is a woman is a woman inside Has miracles for her man Time and love |

And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on. I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care. If it's peace you find in dying, well, then let the time be near. If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here, just bundle up my coffin cause it's cold way down there, I hear that's it's cold way down there, yeah, crazy cold way down there. And when I die and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on. My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well. I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell. Swear there ain't no heaven and pray there ain't no hell, but I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell, only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell. And when I die and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on. Give me my freedom for as long as I be. All I ask of living is to have no chains on me. All I ask of living is to have no chains on me, and all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally. Don't want to go by the devil, don't want to go by the demon, don't want to go by Satan, don't want to die uneasy, just let me go naturally. And when I die and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. When I die, there'll be one child born. |

Cocaine and quiet beers, sweet candy and caramels.
Pass the time and dry the tears on a street called buy and sell. Life turns like the endless sea. Death tolls like a vesper bell. Children laugh and lover dream on a street called buy and sell. Ladies dress calico style, beware your heart. And the men walk shamelessly, aimlessly by. Cinders in the daylight, junkyards in the sky, buy and sell. Sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed, my bed. Two pennies will buy a rose. Three pennies and who can tell on a street that comes and goes by the name of buy and sell? Buy and sell, sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed. |

Jimmy Mack Jimmy,
Oh Jimmy Mack when are you comin' back. Jimmy Mack Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack when are you comin' back. My arms are missing you, My lips feel the same way too. I tried so hard to be true, like I promised to do. But this boy keeps comin' around, tryin' to wear my resistance down. Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back. Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back. He calls me on the phone about three times a day. Now my heart's just listening to, what he has to say But this loneliness I have within, Keeps reaching out to be his friend Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back. Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back. Need your loving, need your loving. I wanna say I'm not getting any stronger, I can't hold out very much longer Trying hard, to be true, But, Jimmy he talks just as sweet as you. Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back. Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back. |

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. |

La la la, la la la, la la la la
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem It is a special one It's never seen the sun It only comes out when the moon is on the run And all the stars are gleaming It's growing in the street Right through the concrete Right through the concrete Right through the concrete Soft and dreaming La la la, la la la, la la la la There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem With eyes as black as coal He looks down in my soul And starts a fire there and then I lose control I have to beg your pardon I'm goin' to pick that rose And watch him as he grows In my garden La la la, la la la, la la la la La la la, la la la, la la la la La la la, la la la, la la la la |

Cold jade wind
Not an angel in the sky Just cold jade restless wind Something's coming along To devastate my soul. I pricked my fingers On the thorns And this rain is a-raining hard This sky's gonna beckon Mariah To match my soul Rain in the river Rain in the river Rain on the river banks Down my neck Beads of sweat. Rain on the highway Running clear across New York A windsong through the barren trees Wild lavender heather By the railroad sways Listen to the wailing Of the rain in the river Rain on the river banks. Roll, roll River, rock his soul She's calling you Rainclouds, rainclouds Down his neck Down his neck Down his neck Beads of, beads of, beads of Beadso of sweat. Five boys standing On the baks of thr river Waiting for the virgin snow Searching for a miracle A pearl in an oyster And we all looked out to God Although He is the colour of the wind Listen to the wailing Of the rain in the river Rain on the river banks. |

Been on a train
And did you hear the whistle blow? Been on a train north Baby did you hear the whistle blow? I saw a man take a needleful of hard drug And die slow. Been on a train And I'm never gonna be the same. There's a bright light in the north wind Gonna bring you home Mister there's a bright light in the north wind It's gonna bring you home He said: "Sweet darling woman Leave me alone". Been on a train And I'm never gonna be the same. You got more tracks on you baby Than the tracks of this train You got no guts, no gospel And you got no brains He said: "I got just one thing Gonna soothe my pain?" No, no Damn you mister And I dragged him out the door Damn you mister And I dragged him out the door. He died in the morning sun And I ain't going north no more. I suspect there's a train Going north in a month or two I still hear his words He said: "There's nothing left to say or do" But mister you were wrong And I'm gonna sing my song for you. Been on a train And I'm never gonna be the same. |

Come young braves
Come young children Come to the book of love with me Respect your brothers and your sisters Come to the book of love I know it ain't easy But we're gonna look for a better day Come young braves Come young children. I love my country as it dies In war and pain before my eyes I walk the streets where disrespect has been The sins of politics, the politics of sin The heartlessness that darkens my soul On Christmas. Red and silver on the leaves Fallen white snow runs softly through the trees Madonnas weep for wars of hell They blow out the candles and haunt Noel The missing love that rings through the work On Christmas. Black panther brothers bound in jail Chicago seven and the justice scale Homeless Indian on Manhattan Isle All God's sons have gone to trial And all God's love is out of style On Christmas. Christmas in my soul Christmas in my soul Christmas in my soul. |

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.

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) |

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 |

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 |

What is life?
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 |
