haitian love song

one.

oceans wept

mountains slept

sidewalks crumbled to ashe

your name remains

in children's lullabies

and your eyes forever in the skies

two.

pull me close

dear i'm tremblin'

hold me tight

i'm afraid of the night

blackness fills the room

your love burns bright

three.

oh summer winds

remind me of your kiss

soft and warm

i never want to leave this

four.

i never wanted to say goodbye

i'd throw myself into the sea

if god promised you're inside

we'd float to island paridise

and i'd become your bride

five.

the country side looks bare

without you lying in her grass

the stream is dry

and the crickets silent

there's no music in the night

i'd become smoke

and hide in your cigarret pack

six.

to be a star

tossing light

to sparkle in your eyes

i'd become an angel

and kiss this earth goodbye

seven.

destiny

used to be

just a word to me

but heaven sure was right

when they said jesus has left somethin' behind

eight.

every inch of this body

i'd plate in gold for you

even though i've ain't got no money

i'd do it just to keep you

nine.

you eyes appear

in every one of my dreams

they glitter and they gleam

like the first time we meet

ten.

the chickens crowed

and i knowed you're home

my spirit run to greet you before my feet left the porch
