I watch you pick tomatoes from the garden
I watch you pour your coffee in the cup
I see the way your hands they look like flowers
A vine unfurled beneath the morning sun
You dust the shelves, put on a gospel record
You made me think that He could save me too
I wonder if you've ever really seen it
The magic that is made up of you
And don't you go
Celia, don't you go
Away
You look so different underneath fluorescents
I comb your hair, I paint your fingernails
I whisper I'm so sorry that I left you
You said it could have been me instead
And don't you go
Celia, don't you go
Away
And this part, the worst part
You're gone

Strange Lover

Where are you going?
Will I find me there?
There's fear in the knowing
I'd follow you anywhere
Strange lover
Foolish brother
Do you even know?
Do you even know?
The moon she is watching
As you call my name
I come from the shadows
Hoping you'd do the same
Strange lover
Foolish brother
Do you even know?
Do you even know?
Do you even know?
Do you even know?

Warmest Blue

The truth of me wasn’t true enough
And maybe I didn’t need your love
But I was running toward
You saw me from up above
I watched your mouth
And I bit my tongue
I was running toward
I was running toward
I was running toward you
The warmest shade of blue
You, the warmest shade of blue
Siren sound from your front porch
Head hung low like you were bored
You threw up on your black dress
I wiped your brow and I held my breath
I was running toward
I was running toward
I was running toward you
The warmest shade of blue
You, the warmest shade of blue
The truth of me wasn’t true enough

Know You Best

I’d like to know you best
I’d like to need you less
When I look in your eyes
Maybe I’d be surprised
By the wanting
If I could take you to last year in early June
You’d see the sweetest scene
River it washed us clean
Of the doubting, and the hurting
No one knows you like I do
And no one knows you
If I could leave you with
Only one final gift
It would be just to say
You’ll always stay this way
In my heart
And for always
No one knows you like I do
And no one knows you
Your softness made me harder
Your hardness made me softer
No one knows you like I do
And no one knows you

Sorry Is A Love Word
03:30
|

|
My clothes all on your floor
Pleading with a locked door
You have no words to give
But still you let me in
And it’s where we begin
No more an if but when
‘Cause sorry is a love word
Sorry is a love word
And grace may she discover
And grace may she cover us
Trust that fickle thing
I’d take it o’er any gold ring
You push me to extremes
But still you’re in my sweetest dreams
And I don’t blame you at all
They pushed you to the fall
And I’d take it if I could
But it would do no good
‘Cause sorry is a love word
Sorry is a love word
And grace may she discover
And grace may she cover us

Adventure Song

|
One day I’ll unzip my skin
There stands the one who entered in
A priestess, a pact made in blood
A healer drowned in the flood
And I will no longer be afraid
I will wander
And I will no longer be ashamed
I have walked this earth much longer
Than I knew
In this life I came in a martyr
A fool heart, gold in the coffer
I wear them, the chains of my mother
Confounded the plans of my father
And I will no longer be afraid
I will wander
And I will no longer be ashamed
I have walked this earth much longer
Than I knew

Love Is A Sword
05:15
|
|||
|
Home is where the heart is
And it houses all my shame
A love not without blindness
Learned to speak my name
A monster made of needing
And a baby filled with rage
I beat my fists and waited
For the help that came too late
Love is a sword
Love is a sword
Love is a sword
I cut my throat to pieces
On the sharpness of your truth
You never meant to hurt me
The way that they hurt you
Love is a sword
And I cut this cord
And I cut this cord

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
