Mother 03:00

I can’t fight fear It fights like a fire I can’t find wind I can’t fight the tears Down rolling hills Through broken creeks Down by loss bay Strolling in wells deep Oooh Mother take me home Oooh Mother take me home I can’t fight loss It don’t fight fair I can’t fight this pain That runs so wild I can’t fight the rain The wind and the storms Though Mother Nature tells me She warns me not to feel so low Oooh Mother take me home Oooh Mother take me home Maybe I could fight the fear Maybe I could fight the loss With mother by my side Maybe I could fight the fear Maybe I could fight the loss With mother by my side Maybe I could fight the fear (Oooh) Maybe I could fight the loss (Mother take me home) With mother by my side Maybe I could fight the fear (Oooh) Maybe I could fight the loss (Mother take me home) With mother by my side Maybe I could fight the fear (Oooh) Maybe I could fight the loss (Mother take me home) With mother by my side Maybe I could fight the fear (Oooh) Maybe I could fight the loss (Mother take me home) With mother by my side Mother take me home Mungu awe nanyi daima Asante Bibi Lala Salama Asante Lala Salama Bibi

Dream 03:02

I used to dream of purple things Lying down on rainbow streets Yellow daisies by sweet swing sets And warm l ights that spun to cacophonous strums Oh that was a long time ago Yeah that was a long time ago It’s like that feelin when you’re kinda fallin Your heart drops into your stomach Your chest feels like you can hardly breathe Oh it’s you I’m missing Oh it’s you I’m missing Oh it’s you I’m missing I used to dream in black and white 6 underground hard not to lose sight Pixie flowers and funerals galore I can’t believe we called that prickly place home Yeah that wasn’t too long ago Yeah that wasn’t too long ago It’s like that feelin when you’re kinda fallin Your heart drops into your stomach Your chest feels like you can hardly breathe Oh it’s you I’m missing Oh it’s you I’m missing Oh it’s you I’m missing No i dream of purple things Lying down on rainbow streets Right here where I dont miss you In my dreams I’m right with you In my dreams I don’t miss you In my dreams I’m right with you In my dreams I don’t Don’t don’t miss you It’s like that feelin when you’re kinda fallin Your heart drops into your stomach Your chest feels like you can hardly breathe Oh it’s you I’m missing Oh it’s you I’m missing Oh it’s you I’m missing

I walk up the stairs and Suddenly you’re there And all of the fear fades away I give you a kiss Tell you how you’ve been missed And we’ll love again with nothing to despair We’d trade stories on side walks On cool spring days All the while I’ll be there Singing sweet tunes to your ears Imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here Imagine if you Were here I’d kneel next to you at rallies And howl at festivals Go skinny dipping in summer Dance while cooking our dinner In our office made with music rays We’ll work with joy and pain Keyboard made from heartstrings Write melodies with your name Imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here Imagine if you Were here Oooh Oooh Imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here I’d trade all that I know (Imagine if you were here) And all that I have (Imagine if you were here) For an afternoon on the couch with you I’d trade all that I know (Imagine if you were here) And all that I have (Imagine if you were here) For an afternoon on the couch with you I’d trade all that I know (Imagine if you were here) And all that I have (Imagine if you were here) For an afternoon on the couch with you I’d trade all that I know (Imagine if you were here) And all that I have (Imagine if you were here) For an afternoon on the couch with you Oh imagine if you were here Oh imagine if you were here Oh imagine if you were here Oh imagine if you were here Oh imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here Imagine if you were here Imagine if you

What if I been walking to the beat of an off drum Holding heals in my hands I’m fallin' For the first time all night I felt alright I met you on a night I don’t remember But I saw you that time in September You lit a fire in me that set me free I don't know how to be a woman But I gave it a try for certain Your eyes a galaxy unknowing I’ll hold the fears you tighten I will be a good man for you I promise you Some days I only listen when I smoke weed It’s something about me that's toxic But you speak in kaleidoscopes of glee It's all I see Feeling your braids drip down my skin Kissing you so deep while holding your chin Drinking you in like a gorgeous glass of gin I don't know how to be a woman But I gave it a try for certain Your eyes a galaxy unknowing I’ll hold the fears you tighten I will be a good man for you I promise you

If I met my younger self I’d show you how to twist your hair Say “what you learn isn’t just from school It comes from everywhere” If I met my younger self I’d sing hallelujah Sayin praise kid you’re doing so well I promise it gets easier Trouble comes and goes in waves And what you love is all that stays When the pain comes unbearable Do what mama said and sing along Ooh child, things are gonna get easier Cause every little things gonna be alright And there ain’t no mountain high enough I’ll be sittin’ till the evening comes If I met my younger self We’d talk religion and law “Being loved is nothing to fear Family waits behind that closet door” When you’re lost about to let go and it hurts you wanna scream Remember you know how to let it all go when you get up and sing Trouble comes and goes in waves And what you love is all that stays When the pain comes unbearable Do what mama said and sing along Ooh child, things are gonna get easier Cause every little things gonna be alright And there ain’t no mountain high enough I’ll be sittin’ till the evening comes You’ll find someone who says you make You’ll find (you’ll find) Someone (someone) Who says (who says) You make (you make) You’ll find (you’ll find) Someone (someone) Who says You make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman Woman Ooh child, things are gonna get easier Cause every little things gonna be alright And there ain’t no mountain high enough I’ll be sittin’ till the evening comes I’ll be sittin’ till the evening comes I’ll be sittin’ till the evening comes

Remember when I could hear your heartbeat An operatic sound bit Your love of people I will write You left too early it aint right Broken is the heart As you leave I bleed Broken as the heart Darling please Can you hear me Yasmin Yasmin What about the things you knew All the love you’d hope to do Empty your vessel and carry on Remember for you and live as one Steady as the heart As we heal You can proceed Steady as the heart As you rise You’re a queen Yasmin Yasmin Lover have my heart Your spirit guides me My guardian angel Lover have my heart Sing in the clouds And be free Yasmin Yasmin Yasmin Yasmin Mmmm I remember you Mmmm Mmmm Yasmin
