Grace

I am obliged to apologise for the often terrible misinterpretations of mine… I did try my best. Thanks to my sister who actually did a helluva lot of this for me…:>)

Mojo Pin
I lie 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
Oh, if only you'd come back to me
feel it up my side
wouldn't need no mojo pin to keep me satisfied
Don't wanna weep for you, don't wanna know…
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memory is fire, the rhythm's fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
Oooo 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, I'm there in your arms
Don't wanna weep for you, don't wanna know…
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memory is fire, the rhythm's fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
So, so, so, (Burn)
Oh, 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
Don't wanna weep for you, don't wanna know…
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memory is fire, the rhythm's fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
So, black, black, Black Beauty

Grace
There's the moon asking to stay
long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Oh, it's my time coming, I'm not afraid
Afraid to die
my fading voice sings of fire
but she cries to the clicking of time, of time
Breathing the fire, waiting to burn(buy, die)
Breathing the fire, waiting to burn
And she weeps on my arm
walk into the bright light and sorrow
oh, I drink a bit of wine, we both might go tomorrow
Oh my Lord!(love)
and the rain is falling, I believe, my time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave, leave behind
Breathing the fire, waiting to burn
Breathing the fire, waiting to burn
It reminds me of the pain I might leave, leave behind
and I feel them drown my name, so easy to know
and forget with this kiss
well, I'm not afraid to go, but it goes so slow
waiting to burn, waiting to burn
waiting to die, waiting to die
waiting to burn, waiting to burn

Last Goodbye
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
but it's over, I'll just do this and then I'll go
you gave me more to live for, more than you'll ever know
Well, 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,
kiss me out of desire, baby 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"
did you rush to the phone to call?
Was a voice unkind, in the back of your mind?
saying "maybe..."
you didn't know him at all, you didn't know him at all
you didn't know....ooooo...you didn't know
The bells out in church tower chimes,
burning clues to this heart of mine
thinking so hard, on her soft eyes
and the memories of her sighs
that " it's over...it's over"

Lilac Wine
I lost myself on a cool damp night
I gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotised by a strange delight
Under a Lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
Makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
Well I think more than I want to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because it 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…..
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?
Lilac wine
I feel I'm ready for my love
Feel I'm ready for my love

So Real
Love. Let me sleep tonight on your couch
I remember the smell of the fabric of your simple city dress
Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real
We walked around 'til the moon got full like a plate
And the wind blew an invocation
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
pull me under
Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real
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
I'm afraid
Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real

Hallelujah
Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
but you don't really care for music do ya?
Well it goes like this, the 4th the 5th,
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 in the moonlight overthrew ya
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
But baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
it's a cold an it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Well 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
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above, but all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew me
And 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 Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Lover, You Should've Come Over
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in the wake of sad relations
As her shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young, to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight, you're on my mind…so, you never know
Broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
(Where are you tonight?) child you know how much you're needed
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…
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find he really has no-one
So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return?
How will I ever learn, how…..?
Lover, you should have come over, 'cause it's not too late
Lonely is the room the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
But 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, a Kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
it's never over, all my wishes 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's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
maybe I'm just too young, to keep good love from going wrong
lover, you should have come over, yes, yes
I feel too young to hold on, and much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb and blind to see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should have come over
All night long I waited for you
Lover, lover, lover, lover, love,
love, love, love, love, lover
Lover, you should have come over, 'cause it's not too late

Corpus Christi Carol
He bear her off he bear her down
He bear her into an orchard ground
Glory-lu-lay and glory-lujah
A falcon hath borne my mate away
And in that 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
Glory-lu-lay and glory-lujah
The falcon hath borne my mate away
And on this bed there ly-eth a knight
His wound is bleeding day and night
By his bedside knee-eth the maid
And she weep-eth day and night
Glory-lu-lay and glory-lujah
The falcon hath borne my mate away
By his bedside stand-eth a stone
Corpus Christi written thereon

Eternal Life
Eternal life is now on my trail
Got my red clear coffin, man
Just need one last nail.
While all those ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
There's a flaming red horizon that screams your name
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 angry man what have you done???
Man you 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 angel
There's no time for hatred, only questions
What is love?
What is happiness?
What is life?
Where is peace?
When will I find the strength to bring me release?
Tell me where is the love that your prophet has sent?
And it sounds to me just like a visit for the walking dead
Well I've got a message for you and your twisted hell
Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you?
You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal angel

Dream Brother
There's a child sleeping near his twin
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 the skin so fair
Is free with the wind in and her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes, bloom goodbyes
With her head in her hands and your kiss on the lips of another
Dream brother with your tears scattering around the world
Do you like the one that made me so?
Don't you like the one who left behind his name?
'cause they're waiting for you, like I'm waiting for mine
and nobody ever came
Do you like the one that made me so?
Don't you like the one who left behind his name?
'cause they're waiting for you, like I'm waiting for mine
and nobody ever came
Don't be like the one that made me so
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'cause they're waiting for you, like I'm waiting 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
You eyes to the ground and the world spinning 'round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
