Angel In The Dark

Angel of my heart, come back to me. Angel in the dark, whoa, so I can see.
Cause I can't live no more without and angel of love so if your hear.
Come back to me, come back. Come back to me, come back. Answer my prayer.
Come back to me, come back. Come back to me, come back. Answer my prayer.

Angel, hear my song because the night's so long.
Come back to me, I don't know how, I don't know where.
I'll be dreaming and on my feet again cause
I can't laugh no more without and angel so if you're there,

Come back to me, come back. Come back to me, come back. Answer my prayer.

And When I Die

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.

Beads Of Sweat

cold jade wind
not an angel in the sky
just cold jade restless wind
somethin's comin' I know
to devastate
my soul
I pricked my fingers
on the thorns
and this rain is a rainin 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 cross new york
a windsong through the barren trees
wild lavender heather
by the railroad sways
listen to the wailin'
of the rain in the river
rain on the river banks
roll, roll
river rock his soul
she's callin you
rainclouds
rainclouds
roll, roll
river rock his soul
she's callin you
rainclouds
rainclouds
down his neck
down his neck
down his neck
beads of
beads of beads of
beads of sweat
five boys standing on the banks of theriver
waiting for the virgin snow
searching for a miracle
a pearl in an oyster
and we all looked up to god
although he is the color of the wind
listen to the wailing
of the rain in the river
rain on the river banks

Child In Universe

Oh Star
shine on me

I'm just a grain in the universe
I come from the Earth
and the Earth is a grain
in the galaxy

can you send some peace on Earth
to a child of the universe
to a child of the universe

Oh Sun
there are planets at the top of the world
and hills and PASSIONS under my feet
rocks and fish and worlds I may never see

I only live on Earth
I guess I'm just a child of the universe
I guess I'm just a child of the universe

Oh Moon
I saw your light on
it was getting late

can we talk awhile
you see I lost my smile
I just can't cope
I just can't relate

if you send some peace on Earth
send it to a child of the universe
send it to a child of the universe
to a child in a universe
send it to a child in a universe
to YOUR children

Brown Earth

Morning, come to the windows of the street, selling red watermelon, five cents a piece.
Merry boat on the river, freedom. Fresh dreams to deliver, freedom.
Over and over and over, I call out your name.

God standing on the brown earth. ‘Get up,’ Mama hollers.
Shooflies in the doorway, white dove’s gonna come today, white dove’s gonna come today.
Oh, what a morning, I feel so good. Oh, what a morning of brotherhood.

Hold me by the light. Kittens run the neighborhood through. Ragamuffin boys.
All the world is new by the light of day.
Give with your heart and love will come to you.
Kids come in all shapes and colors to the cool morning dew.

Merry boat on the river, freedom. Fresh dreams to deliver, freedom.
Over and over and over and over and over and over.
God standing on the brown earth. Lovelight in the morning.
Shooflies in the doorway, white dove’s gonna come today, white dove’s gonna come today…

Broken Rainbow

The old people of the earth
Tell stories
An old woman
Of the old ways
She said -
"I recall my joy
In better days"
The young warriors
Of the open rainbow
Said "Tell me is it true?
Tell me, do some live
out of bags and rags
In the cities too?
Is it true?"
At the edge where I live
Home sweet home
America

Native American Nation
Caught in the devastation
An endless situation
What can I do?
The ghost of prejudice
Cuts thru the moonglow
Poet on a crying page -
Broken Rainbow

Broken Rainbow
Home sweet home
America

Lonely Women

No one hurries home to lonely women
No one hurries home to lonely women

A gal could die without her man
and no one knows it better than
lonely women

No one knows the blues like lonely women do
No one knows the blues like lonely women, yeah

Blues that make the walls rush in
walls that tell you where you've been
and you've been to the hollow
lonely women yeah

let me die early morning
whoa bitter tears whoa bitter tears
uptight downpour
don't got no children to be grandmother for, be grandmother for
she don't believe no more
she don't believe no one hurries home to call you baby

everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody knows
but no one, no one knows

Mother's Spiritual

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, lover's share. Find your love, lose your love here and there.
So you go home, do your own thing, 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.

My Innocenece

innocence, my innocence comes from my mother
innocence, my innocence comes from my warm, earth mother
earth under my feet splits in the sun
the nest blows away and the sweet summer days die young.

i look for the man with the indian hair
i look for his hand but it isn't there
in our room tonight
sharing the moon to fight the pain.

innocence, my innocence is a wild thing
innocence, my innocence
unknown future it's me and you now
unknown moon floating past her
mother earth, are you hiding in the laughter
of my innocence.

Stormy Love

You were my darling light
Everything was gonna be alright
And you were my everything
Boy once you could make me sing
Well I ain't gonna fly away
And I ain't gonna cry all day
But I might spread my wings
I've gotta do so many things
And I'm gonna love again
Though I'm never gonna be the same

And baby it's the last dance
I just can't believe it
Baby it's the last dance
My mind won't let me sleep
And baby it's a stormy love
Stormy love, stormy love, stormy love

And this world may knock my looks
And this world may burn my books
But I ain't gonna fly away
And I ain't gonna cry all day
But I might spread my wings
I've gotta do so many things
And I'll turn my red light on
I'll let it shine when the sun is gone

And baby it's the last dance
Soon I will be leaving
Baby it's the last dance
I'll pack my boots and pearls
Baby it's a stormy world
Stormy world, stormy world, stormy world
Baby it's a

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, ooh, ooh

And you were my everything

Time And Love

Winter froze the river
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
(Nothing cures like
Time and love)

Winter froze the river
And winter birds don't sing
So winter makes you shiver
So time is gonna bring you spring
You've been running
You've been rambling
And you don't know what to do
A holly golden wager says
That love will see you through

Time and love, everybody
Time and love (Oh, 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
(Nothing cures like
Time and love)

Jesus wasn't angel
The mankind broke His wing
But Jesus gave His lifeline
So sacred bell could sing
Now a woman is a fighter
Gather white or African
A woman is a woman, inside
Has miracles for men at night

Time and love, everybody
Time and love (Oh, 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
Nothing cures like time and love
(Love for the man if you please if you can)
Nothing cures like time and love
Love for the man
If you can, if you please...

Wedding Bell Blues

Bill, I love you so
I always will
I look at you and see the passion eyes of May
Oh, but am I ever gonna see my wedding day

I was on your side, Bill, when you were losing
I'd never scheme or lie, Bill, there's been no fooling
But kisses and love won't carry me 'til you marry me
Bill, I love you so
I always will

And in your voice I hear a choir of carousels
Oh, but am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells
I was the one came running when you were lonely
I haven't lived one day not loving you only
But kisses and love won't carry me 'til you marry me
Bill, I love you so
I always will

And though devotion rules my heart
I take no bows
But Bill, you know I'm gonna take my wedding vows
Come on, Bill
So come on, Bill
Come on and marry me
Bill, I love you so
I always will

I've got the wedding bell blues
Yeah, yeah
The wedding bell blues
