That old dog has
chained you up alright
Give you everything you
need to live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero
Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight
comes Make sure you are
smiling and warm I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you
won't feel ashamed

This monkey can't stand to
see you black and blue
Give you something sweet each time
you Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good
Don't say you'll stay
'Cause then you go away
Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight
comes Make sure you are
smiling and warm I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you
won't feel ashamed
Shucks for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

If I was your girl believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along
and feel much better

I could do it forever
and ever and ever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel
much better Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever

I sat on the mountainside
with peace of mind I lay by the
ocean making love to her
with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained
and bound to you
Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight
comes Make sure you are
smiling and warm I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you
won't feel ashamed
Shucks for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

Damn I wish I was your lover

Damn I wish I was your lover

Damn I wish I was your lover

Damn I wish I was your lover

Damn I wish I was your lover

Damn I wish I was your lover

You
Poor you
Playing so long but you're still not grooving
I see you running but I see you ain't moving
And me
Pitiful me
I sleep with both eyes open but I'm just not seeing
The forest let alone the trees
California here I come
Open up your golden arms

Oh angel it's understood
What we could
Do together's every bit much better than good
I ain't looking for the sky to
Cover my head
Cover me I'll cover you again and again and again
Stay up all night to feed your fire
My day's a dream with you on my mind
I wake up tight full of desire
And you are the one who can unwind
My weather's always a surprise
Don't think you'll ever come prepared
But love's the lighthouse in my life
If you get scared
When you look in my eyes
Do you have faith like me
Love can heal the wounds
That cry us all to sleep
When you hear nature's voice
Whispering in your ear
Is heaven a-rejoicing
Even through the tears
When you become your light
Shining like the sun
Is peace within your mind
Where everything is one
Evil will not destroy
When love is in your hand
Now can be make believe
The mysteries we understand
Us angels we give it up
Just enough
Keep each other hanging on with a heavenly touch
I ain't playing with a goal to
Cover my ass
I am naked like a baby in the summer grass
New York's the only place I know
I'll take you on a guided tour
Through Central Park where only those
With seven senses feel secure
Then from my rooftop in the clouds
We'll dive into the glowing sea
And when we're falling look around
And tell me what you see
When you look in my eyes
Do you have faith like me
Love can heal the wounds
That cry us all to sleep

I lied
I stole in the name of fear
But I won't be silent here
I don't want somewhere to run to
I don't want somebody I can shake
Lord I want my dignity again
Before I wakl on fire
You gotta look me in the face
I won't flinch
And I won't turn away
I'm s

I saw you there
All I wanted was to start with you
Was the hardest thing I ever had to do
Till I made you care
Yo brother
You sure heard me
Banging on the big drums for your love
You called me baby then
Talked to me like your best friend
When the time was right you were so good
Asked me what I like
And I said
Don't stop swaying baby
You soothe my soul and I stop searching
When I get lost in the rhythm
Everything stops hurting
Don't stop swaying baby
Take it slow
And I keep yearning
Again I fall
Lighter than the morning dew
Fresh
'Cause I always never knew
What I'm stumbling on
Yo sister
You sure heard me
Singing in the rain for some love
You took me unaware
Said things to make me care
Now the time is ripe and you're so good
Ask me what I like and I say
Don't stop swaying baby
You soothe my soul and I stop searching
When I get lost in the rhythm
Everything stops hurting
Don't stop swaying baby
Take it slow
And I keep yearning
Spoken:
Hansel and Gretel are holding hands deep in the forest. They are lost. This is
their own story. The two have fallen in love, and so, after a long quietness
amidst the creatures of the night, they begin to kiss. Traveling like heat
through each other's bodies, they pass through centuries of insecurity and into
a rhythm where they are not afraid.
(Don't stop swaying baby...)
Mamma has led these children into the wild unknown for reasons, known, with
father's help, of course, they tried very hard to get back home, but of course,
they could not.
(Don't stop swaying baby...)
And so, they find themselves through the

I'm dancing in the shadows of life
And death is all around me tonight
I miss you making love to me right
Beside myself I'm holding you tight
Someone is waiting for me to rise
And drive into the ocean I cried
And I cried and I cried my baby to sleep
Beside myself my soul to keep
Right beside you I see
Right beside you I stay
Right beside you I'll be
Right beside you always
We're dancing in the shade of the summer sun
The drums are playing
The change to come was yesterday
In the heat beside myself I need to keep
Right beside you I feel
Right beside you I am
Right beside you I kneel
Right beside you I stand
Right beside you I see
Right beside you I stay
Right beside you I'll be
Right beside you always
Driving into town with the top down
Sun sinking low into the water
I can feel your speed
One hand on the wheel
One hand on my knee
I can tell you what I want
You can tell me what you need
Darling nights are getting cooler
And the city's so close
There's a place we can do it
Somewhere right along the coast
We'll arive on time
Just a little bit late
It's not a matter of style
Just a lesson in taste
I remember when I was your child
You made me up to be your lover
Now I'm sitting right beside you
Other people still exist
I don't pretend to love them less but darling
When you drive this way I lose my breath
Right beside you I feel
Right beside you I am
Right beside you I kneel
Right beside you I stand
Right beside you I see
Right beside you I stay
Right beside you I'll be
Always

It felt like spring time on this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me today
Now
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear

I'm a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place
You've launched a secret heart with your face
You don't always say what I want to hear but you move me
Across the rooftops and into the deep blue sea
Did we not choose each other
Are we just heroes for a day
This time I will stand by you
And mine is the heart I will save
I drew a hard line but I just can't see it
Your colors are bleeding all over my bullshit
I wanna be your star but I gotta learn to feel myself
I want your love and I need your help
Did we not choose each other
Are we just heroes for a day
This time I will stand by you
And mine is the heart I will save
Can we not judge each other
I'd rather wipe your tears away
I can follow my heart til the end
But I just can't choose the way
Just because we live like dolphins together
So many reasons to break the wave
We can swim from street lamp to street lamp whatever
We can be kissing in the rain
Can we not judge each other
I'd rather wipe your tears away
I can follow my heart til the end
But I just can't choose the way
Listen baby listen baby
Don't you do me wrong
I can my my bed
You can sing your song
Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine
If it's truth you seek
Then darling
Love you'll find
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
Take your pain away
It isn't yours to give
It isn't mine to save
Here's my heart
Here's my hand
Here's my soul
Take it in
Take it apart
Take it easy
Let it go

(Spoken:) Sophie, it's time...
Ahaaa...
You don't know why I'm crazy
I don't know why your blue
You messed with my head
You messed with the dead
Now I'm gonna mess with you
I don't know why your lazy
I'm so in love with you
What's God gonna see
Who's God gonna know
When's God gonna help us through
I can't deny, I can't explain, I can't reply, I can't refrain
I want his hands, I want his chest, I want his feet, I want his sex
I am the child, I am the whore, I am the wild woman at your door
I need to touch, I need to talk, I need to love, I need to give you, you up
What am I fighting for
If I win I lose my life
I need you more and more
To break my will tonight
Only love can set us free
Only love can bear the truth
Only love can bring us peace
Only love can save me and you
Oh Daddy what I've been thinkin'
Only heaven knows
What's Ma gonna see
Who's Ma gonna blame
When's Mama gonna carry you home
I have the urge, I have the mind, I have the touch, I drank the wine
I want the loss, I want the pain, I want to start my life again
I can't define, I can't forget, I can't restrain the feeling of regret
I know the dead, I'm not alone, I made my bed, I wanna let you, you go
What am I frightened for
If I speak I lose my mind
You've broken down the door and there is no place to hide
Only love can set us free
Only love can bear the truth
Only love can bring us peace
Only love can save me and you
Only love can purify
Only love can conquer fear
Only love can testify
Only love can make a miracle of life

I ain't gonna be your fool
You know this lady's not in waiting for words untrue
I have to die
'Cause I'd rather crawl home bleeding than be
Chained to you I love your freedom
Hate me need me love me tease me beg me
Please me take me breathe me
Baby you know I'm trouble still you
Wanna be the one to smash my bubble
How strong how tough how sweet how
Must you feel to rough me up for real
In love I trust I put my faith
To make me hapy to keep me safe
In you I find a way to lose myself
Thrill me baby I need nothing else.
I ain't gonna be your dog
You know this lady's contemplating your worth at all
I'll make you cry
'Cause I'd rather lose you than lose my way
Oh you know I don't mean it I only suffer when I go astray
Your words they sting you make me sing
I want to bring you everything
Jesus I feel what you mean to me
I want to meet you on a dirt road and walk with you endlessly
Oh Lord my God when you get hard
How can I stop how can I not
In love I trust I put my faith
To make me happy to keep me safe
In you I see the brightest star
That burns inside me and breaks my heart
And when I cry the deepest hurting
Cleans my soul relieves my burden
In you I find a way to lose myself
Thrill me baby I need nothing else
In love I must feel all my pain
And all my joy and all my shame
And every time you call on me
Through my struggles you set me free
To feel your power your gracious strength
And on my knees it's your restraint
That makes me find one greater than myself
Love me baby love me baby
I need I need I need
I need nothing else

Virgil Cain is my name
And I served on the Danville train
Till Stoneman's cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65
We were hungry
Just barely alive
I took the train to Richmond had fell
It was a time I remember oh so well
The night

Falling falling
Into the river of your soul for me to know
I am floating on this current somewhere where love abounds
Distant calling
The sun goes down the beasts start home say come along
I ain't about to shake off this sweet water, it's warm
Oh babe, y
