Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go
Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired
There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head
Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there
There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head
So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed
Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, Will I go
Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

My Lady Story
My lady story
My lady story
My lady story
Is one of annihilation
My lady story
Is one of breast amputation
My lady story
My lady story
I'm a hole in love
I'm a bride on fire
And I'm all twisted too in a starve of wire
My lady story
My lady story
Lie in road for you
And I've been your slave
My womb's an ocean full
Of grief and rage, ooh, ooh
My lady story
My lady story
My lady story
My lady story
Still you're coaxing me
To come on out and live
Well, I'm a crippled dog
I've got nothing to give, ooh, ooh
My lady story
My lady story
My lady story
My lady story
I'm so broken babe
But I want to see
Some shining eye
Some of my beauty
Lostest beauty
Lostest beauty
My lady story
My lady story
Is one of annihilation
My lady story
Is one of breast amputation
My lady story
My lady story
I'm a hole in love
I'm a bride on fire
And I'm all twisted too in a starve of wire
My lady story
My lady story
Lie in road for you
And I've been your slave
My womb's an ocean full
Of grief and rage, ooh, ooh
My lady story
My lady story
My lady story
My lady story
Still you're coaxing me
To come on out and live
Well, I'm a crippled dog
I've got nothing to give, ooh, ooh
My lady story
My lady story
My lady story
My lady story
I'm so broken babe
But I want to see
Some shining eye
Some of my beauty
Lostest beauty
Lostest beauty

Man Is The Baby
Yearning for more than a blue day
I enter your new life for me
Burning for the true day
I welcome your new life for me
Forgive me, Let live me
Set my spirit free
Losing, it comes in a cold wave
Of guilt and shame all over me
Child has arrived in the darkness
The hollow triumph of a tree
Forgive me, Let live me
Kiss my falling knee
Forgive me, Let live me
Bless my destiny
Forgive me, Let live me
Set my spirit free
Weakness sown, Overgrown
Man is the baby
I enter your new life for me
Burning for the true day
I welcome your new life for me
Forgive me, Let live me
Set my spirit free
Losing, it comes in a cold wave
Of guilt and shame all over me
Child has arrived in the darkness
The hollow triumph of a tree
Forgive me, Let live me
Kiss my falling knee
Forgive me, Let live me
Bless my destiny
Forgive me, Let live me
Set my spirit free
Weakness sown, Overgrown
Man is the baby

You Are My Sister
You are my sister, we were born
So innocent, so full of need
There were times we were friends but times I was so cruel
Each night I'd ask for you to watch me as I sleep
I was so afraid of the night
You seemed to move through the places that I feared
You lived inside my world so softly
Protected only by the kindness of your nature
You are my sister
And I love you
May all of your dreams come true
We felt so differently then
So similar over the years
The way we laugh the way we experience pain
So many memories
But theres nothing left to gain from remembering
Faces and worlds that no one else will ever know
You are my sister
And I love you
May all of your dreams come true
I want this for you
They're gonna come true (gonna come true)
So innocent, so full of need
There were times we were friends but times I was so cruel
Each night I'd ask for you to watch me as I sleep
I was so afraid of the night
You seemed to move through the places that I feared
You lived inside my world so softly
Protected only by the kindness of your nature
You are my sister
And I love you
May all of your dreams come true
We felt so differently then
So similar over the years
The way we laugh the way we experience pain
So many memories
But theres nothing left to gain from remembering
Faces and worlds that no one else will ever know
You are my sister
And I love you
May all of your dreams come true
I want this for you
They're gonna come true (gonna come true)

What Can I Do
What can I do
When the bird's got to die
What can I do
When she's too weak to fly
What can I do
When she's calling my name
She's crying
Mama, help me to live
Mama, help me to live
Mama, help me to live
To live, to live, to live
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
When the bird's got to die
What can I do
When she's too weak to fly
What can I do
When she's calling my name
She's crying
Mama, help me to live
Mama, help me to live
Mama, help me to live
To live, to live, to live
What can I do
What can I do

Fistful Of Love
I was lying in my bed last night, staring
At a ceiling full of stars
When it suddenly hit me
I just have to let you know how I feel
We live together in a photograph of time
I look into your eyes
And the seas open up to me
I tell you I love you
And I always will
And I know that you can't tell me
I know that you can't tell me
So, I'm left to pick up
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion
So, I'm left to pick up
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion
And I feel your fists
And I know it's out of love
And I feel the whip
And I know it's out of love
And I feel your burning eyes
Oh, burning holes
Straight through my heart
It's out of love, ooh ooh
It's out of love
And I accept and I collect upon my body
The memories of your devotion
And I accept and I collect upon my body
The memories of your devotion
I feel your fists
And I know it's out of love
And I feel the whip
And I know it's out of love
I feel your burning eyes
Burning holes
Straight through my heart
It's out of love
It's out of love
Give me a little fistful of love
Give me a little fistful of love
Fistful of love
Fistful, fist, fist, fistful of love
You're giving me a little fist
Giving me a little fistful of love
Giving me, giving me
A little fistful of love
Give me a little, little, little, givin' little
Givin' me a fistful of love
Give a little bit, give a little bit
Givin' me a fistful of love
Oh, ooh baby
Givin' me just a little fistful of love
At a ceiling full of stars
When it suddenly hit me
I just have to let you know how I feel
We live together in a photograph of time
I look into your eyes
And the seas open up to me
I tell you I love you
And I always will
And I know that you can't tell me
I know that you can't tell me
So, I'm left to pick up
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion
So, I'm left to pick up
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion
And I feel your fists
And I know it's out of love
And I feel the whip
And I know it's out of love
And I feel your burning eyes
Oh, burning holes
Straight through my heart
It's out of love, ooh ooh

Spiralling
Well and I can and I die
I can, I die
Well and I'm freezing
I'm freezing
Well it's a sly curse
A sly curse
Well and I'm spiralling
I'm spiralling
In the broken heart game
I've got all my files
I've got all my ones to choose from
I gave waiting for you
Waiting for you
I'm ravage like a dog in heat
I'm gone, gone
???
I am, I'm undone
I am undone
Where go, where now
I can't stand
If I can, I can die
I'm freezing
It's like us
I'm spiralling
In my cruel life God poisoned
I was born old
Not a girl and not a jewel
I am, I am some son
I am some bum
Where go, where now
I can't stand
If I can, I can die
I'm freezing
It's like us
I'm spiralling
Spiralling
Spiralling

I can, I die
Well and I'm freezing

Where go, where now
I can't stand
If I can, I can die

Free At Last
(North american Slaves Spiritual Chant Gospel)
Julia Yasuda :
Way down yonder in the graveyard walk
I thank God I'm free at last
Me and my Jesus going to meet and talk
I thank God I'm free at last
On my knees when the light pass'd by
I thank God I'm free at last
Tho't my soul would rise and fly
I thank God I'm free at last
Some of these mornings, bright and fair
I thank God I'm free at last
Goin' meet my Jesus
In the middle of the air
I thank God I'm free at last
Ladies and gentlemen

Bird Gerhl
I am a bird girl
I am a bird girl
I am a bird girl now
I've got my heart
Here in my hands
I've got my heart
Here in my hands now
I've been searching
For my wings
I've been searching
For my wings some time
I'm gonna be born
Gonna be born
Into soon the sky
I'm gonna be born
Into soon the sky
'Cause I'm a bird girl
And the bird girls go to heaven
I'm a bird girl
And the bird girls can fly
Bird girls can fly
Bird girls can fly
Bird girls can fly
I am a bird girl
I am a bird girl now
I've got my heart
Here in my hands
I've got my heart
Here in my hands now
I've been searching
For my wings
I've been searching
For my wings some time
I'm gonna be born
Gonna be born
Into soon the sky
