1-Mojo Pin

I'm lying in my bed

The blanket is warm

This body will never be safe from harm

Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal

Touch my skin to keep me whole

If only you'd come back to me

If you laid at my side

Wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied

Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know

I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow

The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow

Black beauty I love you so

Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls

in oyster's flesh

Drop down we two to serve and pray to love

Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven

Ageless, ageless and I'm there in your arms

The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more

Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more

Well it's you I've waited my life to see

It's you I've searched so hard for

2-Grace

There's the moon asking to stay

Long enough for the clouds to fly me away

Well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid to die

My fading voice sings of love, but she cries to the clicking of time,

Oh, time. Wait in the fire...

And she weeps on my arm

Walking to the bright lights in sorrow

Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow

Oh my love...

And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come

It reminds me of the pain I might leave behind... Wait in the fire

And I feel them drown my name

So easy to know and forget with this kiss

I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow...

3-Last Goodbye

This is our last goodbye

I hate to feel the love between us die

But it's over

Just hear this and then I'll go :

you gave me more to live for,

more than you'll ever know.

This is our last embrace,

must I dream and always see your face

Why can't we overcome this wall

Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please,

Kiss me

But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation

Oh You know,

it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time

I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"

and did you rush to the phone to call?

Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,

"maybe... you didn't know him at all."

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime

Burning clues into this heart of mine

Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory

Of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."

4-Lilac Wine

I lost myself on a cool damp night

Gave myself in that misty light

Was hypnotized by a strange delight

Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree

Put my heart in its recipe

It makes me see what I want to see...

And be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think

Do things I never should do

I drink much more that I ought to drink

Because I brings me back you...

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love

Listen to me... I cannot see clearly

Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?

Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...

5-So Real

Love, let me sleep tonight on you couch

And remember the smell of the fabric of your simple

city dress

Oh... That was so real

We walked around 'til the moon got full like a plate.

The wind blew an invocation

And I fell asleep at the gate

... And I never stepped - on - the - cracks - 'cause

- I - thought - I'd - hurt - my - mother

... And I couldn't awake from the nightmare

That sucked me in and pulled me under

Pulled me under

Oh... That was so real

I love you

But I'm afraid to love you

I love you

But I'm afraid to love you...

6-Hallelujah

I heard there was a secret chord

that David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you

Well it goes like this :

The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya

She tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew ya

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

But love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show that to me do ya

But remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Well, maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

It's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

7-Lover, You've Should Come Over

Looking out the door

I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners

Parading in a wake of sad relations

as their shoes fill up with water

And maybe I'm too young

To keep good love from going wrong

But tonight you're on my mind so

(you'll never know)

I'm broken down and hungry for your love

With no way to feed it

Where are you tonight?

Child, you know how much I need it.

Too young to hold on

And too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away,

When he feels like he should be having his fun

And much too blind to see the damage he's done

Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,

He has no-one...

So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn oh

Will I ever see your sweet return,

oh/or, will I ever learn?

Lover, you should've come over

'Cause it's not too late.

Lonely is the room the bed is made

The open window lets the rain in

Burning in the corner is the only one

who dreams he had you with him

My body turns and yearns for a sleep

that will never come

It's never over,

my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder

It's never over, all my riches for her smiles

when I slept so soft against her...

It's never over,

all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter

It's never over, she is the tear

that hangs inside my soul forever

Maybe I'm just too young to keep good love

from going wrong

Oh... lover you should've come over...

'cause it's not too late...

I feel too young to hold on

I'm much too old to break free and run

Too deaf, dumb, and blind

to see the damage I've done

Sweet lover, you should've come over

Oh, love I'm waiting [I waited] for you

Lover, you should've come over

Cause it's not too late

8-Corpus Christi Carol

He bear her off, he bear her down

He bear her into an orchard ground

Lu Li Lu Lay

The falcon hath bourne my mate away

And in this orchard there was a hold

That was hanged with purple and gold

And in that hold there was a bed

And it was hanged with gold so red

Lu Li Lu Lay

On this bed there lyeth a knight

His wound is bleeding day and night

By his bedside kneeleth a maid

And she weepeth both night and day

Lu Li Lu Lay

By his bedside standeth a stone

Corpus Christi written thereon

9-Eternal Life

Eternal Life is now on my trail

Got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail

While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games

There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names

And as your fantasies are broken in two

Did you really think this bloody road would

Pave the way for you?

You better turn around

and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel

Racist everyman, what have you done?

Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...

Crown my fear your king at the point of a gun

All I want to do is love everyone...

And as your fantasies are broken in two

Did you really think this bloody road would

Pave the way for you?

You better turn around

and blow your kiss hello to life eternal....

There's no time for hatred, only questions

What is love, where is happiness, what is Life,

where is peace?

When will I find the strength to bring me release?

And tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?

Man, It sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead

And I've get a message for you and your twisted hell

You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye

to life eternal angel...

10-Dream Brother

There is a child sleeping near his twin

The pictures go wild in a rush of wind

That dark angel he is shuffling in

Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

The love you lost with her skin so fair

Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair

Her green eyes bloom goodbyes

With her head in her hands

and your kiss on the lips another

Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.

Don't be like the one who made me so old

Don't be like the one who left behind his name

'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine

And nobody ever came...

I feel afraid and I call your name

I love your voice and your dance insane

I hear your words and I know your pain

Your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another

Your eyes to the ground

and the world spinning round forever

Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over...
