Feeling of Gaze
Got your hair all done up
Like a woman again
Got a feeling of gaze
At the doorway again
I feel alone for you
I feel alive with you
I feel a sin fading
Celebrate, celebrate
Gonna play my favorite song
Gonna play it all night long
Gonna feel a sense of falling
Gonna hush my heart so holy
I feel alive with you
I feel a sin fading
Celebrate, celebrate
Too Tough to Die
I always wonder why
My mama left town
New Haven ain't a bag of salt
When nobody knows your name
You look so different over the phone
Seven states away they're doin'
Doin' the strange fruit swing
When they come down
You have to leave town
I am
Too tough to die
I am
Too tough to die
Blessed are those who believe
Who believe and have not seen
I wasn't there
And it's got me wondering
And the man you make then and now
He's burning
School's are learning you can't unlearn
No room to turn
Let alone run
And I am
Too tough to die
I am
Too tough to die
It's in their eyes
It's unspoken
Don't even know they're out to do you harm
Can't even see the pulse beating
In the axle of your arm
Outlaw wearin' diamond patches
of sunlight on his coat
Livin in a cage make a 7 time daddy
lose his mind to roam
Derision's a cold wind against my skin
You keep a-flayin til there's no skin at all
What's to hold it together when you stumble
And you fall
I am
Too tough to die
I am
Too tough to die
Hyperballad
We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around
It's become a habit
A way
To start the day
Strange Fruit
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop
What Makes You Think You're the One
What makes you think you're the one
Who can laugh without cryin'?
What makes you think you're the one
Who can live without dyin'?
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me
What makes you think I'm the one
Who'll be there when you're callin'?
What makes you think I'm the one
Who will catch you when you're fallin'?
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me
What makes you think I'm the one
Who will love you forever?
Everything you do has been done
And this won't last forever
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me
Real Love
We are lovers through and through
And we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize
I really want to turn you on
I've been searching for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration?
Be the real love that I need yeah
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
When I met you I just knew
That you'd take my heart and run
aEtil you told me how you felt for me
Said I'm not the one
So I slowly came to see
All the things you were made of
Now I hope my dreams and inspirations lead me to find some
real love
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
A love so true
Oh baby

Thought you were the answer to the questions in my mind
Now it seems that I was wrong
If I stay strong maybe ill find my
Real love
I'm searching for my real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for my real love
So I try my best to pray to god to send me
someone real
To caress me and to guide me
To know that I can feel
Now I know I can be faithful
I can be your arm in arm
I'll give you good love in the summer time, winter, spring
and fall
Real love
I'm searching for my real love
Someone to set my heart free

Real love
I'm searching for my real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for my real love
Its real love

Hard Time Killing Floor
Hard time here and everywhere you go
Times is harder than ever been before
And the people are driftin' from door to
door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go
Hear me tell you people, just before I go
These hard times will kill you just dry long so
Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song
These hard times can last us so very long
If I ever get off this killin' floor
I'll never get down this low no more
No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no more
And you say you had money, you better be
sure
'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no
more
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
These hard times will drive you from door to door
A Love Supreme
A love supreme
A love supreme
A love supreme
A love supreme
A love supreme...
Please Stay (Once You Go Away)
Stay babe please stay
Don't go away baby
Don't go away please stay
Stay, please stay baby

I'm askin' you darlin'
Please stay, please stay, please
Don't go away baby (ooh)

In bed without beside me
Darlin', darlin anymore

I won't be warm and secure
Oh baby baby like I was before
Oh baby
I'll just lie tossin' and turnin'
Tossin' and turnin'
Tossin' and turnin'
All night long
Scared that if I closed my eyes
When I got ready to wake up
I might find you gone
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Stay babe please stay
Don't go away baby
Don't go away please stay
Cause I could never find
Nobody
To make me feel this way
No, sugar
For I never felt this way
Before
No, no sugar you did it
Oh I never felt so good
Honey before
Oh I never felt so good
Oh before
(repeat)
Black is the Color of My True Love's
Hair
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her face so soft and wonderous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands
Oh, I love my lover, and well she knows
Yes, I love the ground on where she goes
And still I hope that the time will come
When she and I will be, will be as one
When she and I will be, will be as one
to be oh
So black is the colour of my true love's
hair
Her face so soft and wonderous fair
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she stands
I love the ground on where, on where she
stands
Summertime
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
