There she goes my daytime girl.
 
Spreading her wings like a high flying eagle.
 
All the people will stare as she falls to the ground.
 
 
Heaven knows my daytime girl.
 
Never been kissed, she don’t know what she’s missing.
 
All the kisses there are to be found.
 
 
All the wisdom of people she used.
 
She took advantage of this.
 
Taking time to remember the past.
 
Remembering all she has missed.
 
 
What a dream this place has been.
 
Said when she left ‘I believed when I saw him.
 
All the seeing believing come true’.
 
 
All the wisdom of people she used.
 
She took advantage of this.
 
Taking time to remember the past.
 
Remembering all she has missed.
 
 
There she goes my daytime girl.
 
Spreading her wings like a high flying eagle.
 
All the people will stare as she falls to the ground.

Hey there woman, I came to California
to find a dream, I found you, girl.
Hey there baby, you pointed my direction
with tender love, changed my world.
I’ve been reaching for love so long.
I’ve just a holiday, yeah, to have you here.
I’ve been running down avenues
so filled with solitude and restless fears.

Danger,
slow down, haunting me.
Your love,
turning me round, rescued me.

Danger,
warning, I’ve seen the signs.
Oh, oh, oh,
here I go, this heart of mine.

I set sail on a rainy day,
steering my way through a cloudy sky.
In this heaven my dreams are never ending.
They’re sending me through space and time.

You’re the center of all my inspiration.
It’s a wonderland, it’s so divine.
I can’t escape from this energy.
You put a spell on me yeah,
no turning around.

Power of love has no gravity.
It’s got a hold on me,
I’m paralyzed.

Danger,
slow down, haunting me.
Your love,
turning me around, rescued me.

Distant dreams of yesterday,
when I was down and far away.
You promise me love, but I’m scared of losing
what I got, what I got today.

Danger,
slow down, haunting me.
Your love,
turning me around, rescued me.

Danger,
warning, I’ve seen the signs.
Oh, oh, oh,
here I go, this heart of mine.

Danger, slow down, haunting me.
Your love,
turning me around, rescued me….

There were the trees, see the grass, a thing gets inspired.
Said ‘This is the place I will try,’ and he did.
Stood in the dark, sat a man who beckoned him in,
but leaving his grass was a sin, but he did.
 
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
He saw the light in the cellar reflect in his eyes,
Yet early that morning was he to receive a surprise.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
 
Said ‘Are you leaving or are you receiving my friend,
Doesn’t need any money till then’ and he did.
He said ‘I’m the owner, not you, and this is my stead,
so give it to me now I’m dead’, and he did, said:
 
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.

When you left me not so long ago
I didn’t know what to do

so I packed my bags and went up west
to clear my mind of you

then I found a new love
in a place not faraway

‘Cos I went back to Gotfair town
the town of Crystal Bay (singing)

Now if you mind is troubled
and you don’t know where to go

I know one wards to linelight

and turn yourself around

I wasn’t born to be alone
that was a lesson I was shown,
to know that love was just a lie
I ran away to think it over
but it’s over and I try to take a stand on what is real,
someone to show me how to feel,
I’m like a shadow in the night,
I’m like a river in an ocean,
I’m a flame without a light.

And now I’m cryin’ every day,
and I’ve been cryin’ every day,
and I’ve been thinking of your love,
I keep turning, I keep turning,
I keep turning, I keep turning.
Well, your love was a cathedral and I came down here to pray
and now I’m cryin’ every day.

Can there be any wonder why to be living under?
Love is a revelation only few can share.
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
long as I live without you,
I would still be there.
I wanna die, die away,
never love, never cry.

And I’ve been walking in the rain,
and I’ve been hanging on a dream,
all the faces and the places that our love has ever been.

Now I’m cryin’ every day,
and I’ve been cryin’ every day,
and I’ve been thinking of your love,
I keep turning, I keep turning,
I keep turning, I keep turning.
Well, your love was a cathedral and I came down here to pray
and now I’m cryin’ every day.

Can there be any wonder why to be living under?
Love is a revelation only few can share.
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
long as I live without you, I would still be there.
I wanna die, die away,
never love, never cry.

I wasn’t born to be a fool but I’m a fool to be around,
I’m a man without a country I’m a king without a crown,
and then you’re throwing me away,
another world, another time,
but if anyone belongs to anybody, you were mine.

And I’m cryin’ every day,
you know I’ve been cryin’ every day,
and I keep thinking of your love,
I keep turning, I keep turning,
I keep turning, I keep turning,
well, your love was a cathedral and I came down here to pray,
and now I’m cryin’ everyday,
I’m cryin’, cryin’,
I’m cryin’ for your love,
I keep thinking of your love…

I must be crazy they don’t know what we’ve done
You are my lover
Even though I know it’s wrong
I hear them talking
But whatever they do
I need to love you
And if I love you couldn’t we make it

Got someone loving me
He won’t say goodbye
He’s been so good to me
I don’t wanna make him cry
I need you both to love me
It’s up to you
You can help me
You’re the reason I can’t decide

Breakin’ my bones and shakin’ my nerves
Till I just can’t see tomorrow
Looking at him and looking at you
And I don’t know who to follow
I’ll never win in the state I’m in

It’s a crime of passion, I’m bad to love you
Whenever I’m with you, I lose control
It’s a crime of passion for me and for you
Whatever I give you
It’s just too late to save my soul
I need to love you
My desperation is the power to go on
Each night I prayed for love
I’m at the mercy of
And if you don’t hear me now
Then I’ll be the only one
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be the only one

I saw him yesterday
The questions he asked
I think he knows about us
Did we move too fast
How can we hide it
When we know it’s a lie
Keep our love under the covers
The pressure is too high

Why do I get myself tied up
Why tangle with love you borrow
I should have been known as a one man woman
Should have been one love but oh no
Never be a cure for the human law

It’s a crime of passion, I’m bad to love you
Whenever I’m with you, I lose control
It’s a crime of passion for me and for you
Whatever I give you
It’s just too late to save my soul
I need to love you
My desperation is the power to go on
Each night I prayed for love
I’m at the mercy of
And if you don’t hear me now
Then I’ll be the only one
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be the only one.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
never get enough I’m crazy.

Ice cream couldn’t taste any better;
your bad reputation, a mission that you keep to the letter.
A state of love can drive us all insane.
Why a man can stand for so much pain, but I stand.
You know the time is right, I feel my knees start shaking
and I can’t stop running.

You don’t know but the word is out
I go crazy for your love,
I breakdown to the ground, and I gotta shout
I go crazy for your love.

I go crazy when you touch me and I’m over the top.
Don’t wanna fight it and I’m giving up, lips all ready to burn,
don’t need a doctor, nobody can save me.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
never get enough, I’m crazy for your love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
never get enough, I’m crazy.

I know, I know, I know, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I can’t sleep, can’t sleep, I turn the television on,
it’s your face that I see on the screen replacing all the other ones.
I’m so blind, that every girl I see reminds me that I need to be in your arms,
the place is here and now, the brain is past controlling and the soul is crying.

You don’t know but the word is out
I go crazy for your love.
I breakdown to the ground, and I gotta shout
I go crazy for your love.

I go crazy for your fingers up and down my spine,
come a little closer, baby, you will find lips all ready to burn,
don’t need a doctor when I’m almost dying.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
never get enough, I’m crazy for your love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
never get enough, I’m crazy.

Lips all ready to burn,
don’t need a doctor when I’m almost dying.
Gotta keep trying.

You don’t know but you’re number 1,
I go crazy for your love.

You give me feelings that I couldn’t get from anyone,
I go crazy for your love.
You don’t know but the word is out
I go crazy for your love….

He smiled and rubbed the stubble on his chin.
He sure shall find the weariness and dreariness of life that’s growing thin.
Yet he didn’t have so very far to go.
With a pencil in his hand he will travel on as planned.
With a mere step in the mountain to a light.
 
Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way.
Oh, they don’t know where he is.
Very very nice, very very nice.
 
Even in the morning when he slept
something odd is missing.
There’s nothing very much to talk about
and nothing very much to see.
 
Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way.
Oh, they don’t know where he is.
Very very nice, very very nice.
 
Talks about the place he’d like to go.
And you never see the worrying and hurrying
and that makes a person slow.
Yet you wouldn’t think he’d be so hard to find.
Yet he looks so very busy but there’s nothing on his mind.
And his wavy hair continues not to grow.
 
Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way.
Oh, they don’t know where he is.
Very very nice, very very nice.

Oh, they don’t know where he is.

And how many breathes will it take

Maybe for a million years.
And that’s a long long time.

Keep away from the dark skies.

Tiger in your cage,
you’re not different from the man I know.
All my world’s a stage.
I’m just waiting for the evening show,
that could be a million years

Keep away from the dark skies.

You could read her lips well as I was able.
She was into taking you where you ain’t been .
I was looking in at the stroke of twelve.
She came in the back door.
You could see her climb the stairs.
And the two of us, we wait, we wait.

I’ll cover you, girl I cover you.
Cover you with…

Cover you with kisses.
Shower you with love.
Twist you up and turn you ‘round.
All night, all night.

Cover you with kisses.
Taste you with my tongue.
Live on itchy fingers.
All night long, all night.

You could see her legs underneath the table.
You could see the burn was on when she moved on you.
I think I went insane.
When the flesh is weak
the more that we discover.
If we only trust just the two of us.
You play me, you play me.

I’ll cover you, girl I cover you.
Cover you with ….

Cover you with kisses.
Taste you with my tongue.
Live on itchy fingers.
All night long, all night.

Born to make love she was.
To get up you go down.
It’s easy.

Cover you with kisses.
Shower you with love.
Twist you up and turn you ‘round.
All night, all night.

Cover you with kisses.
Taste you with my tongue.
Live on itchy fingers.
All night long, all night

Whenever I cry, my friend,
you’re always away and so I pretend
If I could live the dreams that I see,
long live my love.
 
Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes),
I’ll never belong to someone again,

DMX:
You tell me that there’s love here. But to me it’s blatant.
Nothin’ but all the blood here. I’m dealin with Satan.
Plus with all the hatin’ it’s hard to keep peace. (uh huh)
Thou shall not steal, but I will to eat.
I tried doin’ good, but good’s not too good for me.
Misunderstood, why you chose the hood for me.
[I] Mean I’m a’ight, I just had to work hard at it.
Went to gran’ma for answers, she told me that God had it.
So now here I am, confused and full of questions.
Am I born to lose, or is this just a lesson.
And who it’s goin’ choose when it gets turned around?
And will it be layin’ in my own blood and on the ground?
 
DMX [as God]:

My child, I’ve watched you grow up
and I’ve been there. (uh huh)
Even at those times you least suspected it
I was there.
And look at what I’ve given you
a talent to rhyme.
I may not come when you call,
but I’m always on time.
 
Chorus:

Somebody’s knockin’. Should I let em in.
Lord we’re just startin, but where will it end.
Somebody’s knockin’. Should I let em in.
Lord we’re just startin,
but where will it end.
 
DMX:

But when the funds are low
the guns’ll blow.
Lookin’ for that one that owe,
make em run that dough.
 
DMX [as God]:

No! Put down the guns
and write a new rhyme.
You’ll get it all in due time.
You’ll do fine.
Just have faith
cuz you mine. (uh huh)
And when you shine it’s goin’ be a sight to behold.
So don’t fight to be old, or lose sight when it’s cold.
See that light down the road, its goin’ guide you there
Two sets of footsteps, I was right beside you there.
 
DMX:

But what about them times I only saw one?
Those were the times that I was under the gun…
 
DMX [as God]:

It was then I carried you my son.
Led you to safety.
It just wasn’t your time to face me. (uh huh)
 
DMX:

Ayo a few of them times, I thought you would erase me.
But all you did was embrace me. Prepared me for the worst.
Offered me eternal light, and scared me with the hearse.
And the curse turned to grace. When the hurt turned to faith.
No more runnin’, (uh huh) and slidin’ in the dirt cuz I’m safe.
 
[Chorus]
DMX:

So if I’m yo’ man, I’m in yo’ hand. Whats yo’ plan?
Never had a friend, cuz you couldn’t trust your man.
Learned to stand before I crawled. Things were twisted!
And if you showed me anything at all, then I missed it.
Looked the wrong way. (uh huh) I’ve done some wrong things. (true)
Kept a bad attitude, but that’s what wrong brings.
And now you mean to tell me that after all this time,
it was you that kept the dog from goin’ out of his mind?
It was you that breathed life into my lungs when I was born?
And it was you that let me know what was right from what was wrong?
And it was you that let me do what I knew what could be done?
And it was you that gave me a good wife and a beautiful son?
And It’s been you speakin’ to me inside my mind?
And it’s been you who has forgiven time after time?
It was you who opened my eyes so I could see?
And it was you who shined yo’ light on me?…

It’s raining and it’s cold outside
Come may I take shelter by your side
Now it’s strange my train’s abandoning me
Run aside don’t cry amongst the queue

Now your fading figure fades from view
It’s tearing what some tunnel air can do
What a day for dragons and for dreams
If this was Christmas Eve or Hallowe’en

You are rare
Sweeter than an apple or pear
You are mine
Hold on, you are love
You are sun
You are blue

Twenty years have passed and now I’m home
Once more my haunted taunted soul is sown
I saw her yesterday and things were fine
She’s settled with a new man, so unkind

Oh to touch your hand and see your smile
Walk again with you for just one mile
It’s Hallowe’en and dragons without dreams
But one thing they love, blue will turn to green

And you’ll be there
Waiting with your hands in the air
You’ll be mine
Hold on, we’ll be love
We’ll be sun
We’ll be skies
We’ll be skies

Already holding what is real
You know the soul finds its own evolution
And this is the only love I feel

And I tell you…
I’m keeping up the strength
I gotta try
Cause you ain’t getting past 
This heart of mine

I’m out here waiting for you
With all I’ve got to give
And I accept this life we live

I’ll be your lover and I’ll be your friend
I’m gonna follow you right to the end

I wasn’t made to tell you lies
I only came to make you realize

You pick me up… you let me down

Don’t make me stumble, don’t make me wait
Cause come tomorrow, will be too late

I got to turn away my face
Cause you blind me with your light
Can you catch up to me?
You know I love you in the black of night
This sacred ritual
This journey has begun

And we try… we try to carry on
Are you innocents
You get to find the things in life

That get you through (one more dance)
And deep inside the things you want 
No one ever knew (one last chance)
Let me make it happen
This world we have foreseen
And I’ll tell you how I feel

Love will be better for wearing your ring
I’m gonna give you everything

Come on over,

And if you think I need you,
come on over.
Bring your love around,
you can dry away my tears.

And if you think I need you,
come on over.
Lay your body down,
you know I will be here,
so bring your love around.

When I cannot see in front of me
and I am on my darkest day,
come on over,
you can take it all away.

And if you think I need you,

Bring your love around,

And if you think I need you,

I’m full of pride and my heart feels good.
Got news from my family up in the woods.
At last I can go back where I belong.
Sweated it all out for nine long years.
Couldn’t believe the voice in my ears,
when the man saying: No hiding, son.

So I left the only folks I had known.
I was fifteen then and hardly grown,
when they found me in the swamp face down in the mud.
Couldn’t get back and I couldn’t go far.
Said to myself stay right where you are.
Done found yourself a ma and a pa.
Everybody said the kid’s no good.

Come home, Johnny Bridie, come home,
Johnny Bridie, come home.
We’re all wrong without you.
How did we ever doubt you?

He confessed to the killing.
It’s his role we had you filling.
We didn’t really mean to make you sad.
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad.

I left the only folks I had known.
I was fifteen then and hardly grown,
when they found me in the swamp face down in the mud.

Couldn’t get back and I couldn’t go far.
So I said to myself stay right where you are.
Done found yourself a ma and a pa.
Everybody said the kid’s no good.

Come home, Johnny Bridie, come home,
Johnny Bridie, come home,
We’re all wrong without you.
How did we ever doubt you?

He confessed to the killing.
It’s his role we had you filling.
We didn’t really mean to make you sad.
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad.

Come home, Johnny Bridie, come home,
Johnny Bridie, come home.
We’re all wrong without you.
How did we ever doubt you?

Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There’s a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away
 
Come fly with me, let’s float down to Peru
In llama land there’s a one-man band
And he’ll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let’s take off in the blue
 
Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We’ll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I’ll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer ‘cause we’re together
 
Weather-wise it’s such a lovely day
You just say the words and we’ll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It’s perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We’ll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I’ll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer ‘cause we’re together
 
Weather-wise it’s such a lovely day
You just say the words and we’ll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It’s perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly
Pack up, let’s fly away!!

I tell my troubles to the coalman.
He’s a coalman but he understands.
He’s not such a very, very old man.
He’s a soul man and he takes my hand.
He makes a man feel good when he’s down.
Head is touching the ground.
He’s going to help you if he can.
He’s a coalman.

I’ve been waiting for the coalman.
He’s a whole man and he treats me nice.
Everybody needs a coalman.
When you’re low, man, you can get advice.
He makes a man feel good when he’s down.
Head is touching the ground.
He’s going to help you if he can.
He’s a coalman.

I need her loving so much,
the feeling is too much to bear.
You’ve got to have somebody,
when she’s not there.

I tell my troubles to the coalman.
He’s a coalman but he understands.
He’s not such a very, very old man.
He’s a soul man and he takes my hand.
He makes a man feel good when he’s down.
Head is touching the ground.
He’s going to help you if he can.
He’s a coalman.

I need her loving so much,
the feeling is too much to bear.
You’ve got to have somebody
when she’s not there.

I tell my troubles to the coalman.
He’s a coalman but he understands.
He’s not such a very, very old man.
He’s a soul man and he takes my hand.
He’s gonna help you when he’s down.
When your head is touching the ground.
And he’ll help you if he can.
He’s a coalman .
Coalman…

Transcript by
Thomas Grabowski

Well, Clyde O’Riley had so many virtues,
He’d have lived much longer with none,
I guess the only good thing that ever kept him alive,
Were the visions of a man from a son,
He worked the fields all day,
Till his face turned grey,
He never sold no more than ten bucks,
But his hand held the gun of a young man’s gun,
And the old face just smiled and said “Shucks”,

You can take my cattle and my sheep man,
But when you’re talking about my son,
Well, mister there’s no use in you talking,
When you’re looking down the nose of my gun.

Well, the sheriff said “Riley, you’d better hear me first,
Did your son ever tell you no lie?
Well, if he didn’t then you know about the bullet in the back,
Of a man who didn’t even know why.
You can’t hold back the arm of justice,
And a bullet won’t stop, won’t stop the law.
You can shoot down the men behind me,
But I cabled twenty more”.

No man just lie, he said

You can take my cattle and my sheep man,
But when you’re talking about my son,
Well, mister there’s no use in you talking,
When you’re looking down the nose of my gun.

You can take my cattle and my sheep man,
But when you’re talking about my son,
Oh mercy you ain’t no judge and jury,
And on my land condemn no one.

Well, the boy won the fight and shot ten men,
Everybody wanted that boys head,
From town to town from state to state,
How a murders reputation spread.
‘Cause you can’t hold back the arm of justice,
And a bullet won’t stop, won’t stop the law,
You can shoot down the men behind me,
But I cabled twenty more.

You can take my cattle and sheep man,
But when you’re talking about my son,
You ain’t no judge and jury,
You ain’t hanging any more.
That’s what he said.
