Send His Love To Me

Lover had to leave me
Cross the desert plain
Turned to me, his lady
Tells me "lover wait"

Calling jesus, please
Send his love to me

Oh, wind and rain may haunt me
Look to the north and pray
Send me, please, his kisses
Send them home today

I'm begging, jesus, please
Send his love to me

Left alone in desert
This house becomes a hell
This love becomes a tether
This room becomes a cell

Mommy, daddy, please
Send him back to me

How long must I suffer?
Dear god, I've served my time
This love becomes my torture
This love, my only crime

Lover please release me
My arms too weak to grip
My eyes to dry for weeping
My lips too dry to kiss

Calling, jesus, please
Send his love to me

I'm begging, jesus, please
Send his love to me

The Dancer

    

He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me

He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil
He said laugh a while, I can make your heart feel
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love

Cause i've prayed days, i've prayed nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
I've looked long, i've looked far
To bring peace to my black and empty heart

My love will stay till the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
I love him longer as each damn day goes
The man is gone and heaven only knows

Cause i've cried days. i've cried nights
For the lord just to send me up some sign
Is he near? is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart

So long day. so long night
Good lord, be near me tonight
Is he near? is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart

Rope Bridge Crossing
   
And I remember everything
Sunrise on a blue horizon
With you, your hand in mine
I remember the things you said

Said, I'd be your lady, wait through it all
Be there to catch you, after the fall
Run through the red light, out of my (hair|head)
Run from the darkness here to the day

Yeh, an' I dreamt of running
And in the dream I myself could run
And I feel the ground beneath my feet
And I move like music,
You move me, like music

Head out of my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on the dream says
Head out of my life
You said "I'd be there"

Now I'm treading very carefully
And I hope that I don't scream
And I hope that I don't fall
Off your bridge, crossing over
Sunny mountain, swollen riverfall
You said "i'd be there"
You said "i'd be there"
Through it all

Head out of my way
Head of to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life

All over my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
You said "i'd be there"

City Of No Sun
   
Love me tenderly my darling
In the city of light and truth
For this moment forever sing
For my darling that I love you

City of no sun
No peace in my heart
You left me nothing
You left me broken
What's
What's
What's
Love me
Love me

Outside the fields
In sunlight
The singing breeze
And the silence

Lover release me
I can't feel I can't breathe
No heart no peace
No more nothing
Long day long night?
Love rise
Love rise

That Was My Veil
   
It starts at daylight
I see him before my sad eyes
I hear him breathing
Oh lover, need you to lead me
No never thought that you'd leave

That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies

No words can heal my heart
Inside I'm broken, now it's done
Was she a pretty girl
Does she have pretty hair
Was she soft-spoken
Was there a love there

That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies

Give back my veil
Give back my time
No more secret
You give me lies
Give me back my veil
Give back my life
No more secret
You give me lies
Lies

Words leave my heart dry
Words can't save life
Love has no place here
No joy, no tears

Darling, time's changed
Time leaves, time fades
Please see through my eyes
Save your tears for the next who dies

I shout but he don't hear
I put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Just send me the light of day

I shout but he don't hear
Just put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Dear god please send me the light of day

Feel his heart wired
Heart like gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire

Urn With Dead Flowers In A Drained Pool
   
I need your lie, darling love lies
And if you gave it to me, I'd hold it in the palm of my hand
Like a good luck charm or a vice
And I'd reach up like a child to receive it

There is no more
There is no more
I got . . .

Take me inside your wall love lie
And if he took me, I'd hold him up to the light
Like a god, or a good luck charm, or a vice
And I'd open up like a child to believe it

There is no more
There is no more
I got . . .

No
There is no more
There is no more
I got . . .

And still you can't give your peace to me

Jesus save me

Can I tell you something
Can I tell you a story
It's about me and billy
Because I remember
I remember it all started when he bought that car
It was the first thing he ever owned apart from me
And the color was red
And the color was red and he drove me
He drove me out of my mind
I'm over that now
It was spring or summer 65 I don't remember
Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel
And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

And everybody's father is hated for what he was saying
And he doesn't
He'd reluctantly cut loose inside
I would feel really I would feel really and truly alive
And I would do anything for him,
It just wasn't enough
It was never enough, he'd turn to me and say
He'd, he'd say "even the son of god had to die, my darling"
And he'd
And he'd
He'd

Jesus!
He'd make me pray. . .

Even the son of god had to die my darling
Come on, say it!

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

Heela
   
I was lost in love
I was lost inside
Till he said to me
You've gotta lovely smile

Now I'm saved
Saved
Now I'm saved
Now I'm saved

Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part

Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part

{She ...}
{She was a girl, she got her hair done nice}
{She said "i've given all I got to my healer man}
{He put his hands on me, showed me what I am"}

Saved

When I got my healer by my side
I'm pushing daylight, pushing ?
When I got my healer by my side

When I got my healer by my side
When I got my healer by my side
When I got my healer by my side

Un Cercle Autour Du Soleil
   
She lay breathing
Sunshine between
Time here lingers
Trace with my finger
A circle
A circle
'Round the sun
The sun
The sun
The sun

To more laughter
Since the black come
But head down get high
Up there's blue sky
And a circle
A circle
'Round the sun
The sun
The sun
The sun

Time here lingers
Can trace with my fingers
A circle
A circle
'Round the sun
The sun
The sun
The sun
