Lyrics


1.TO BRING YOU MY LOVE

I was born in the desert
I been down for years
Jesus, come closer
I think my time is near
And I've traveled over
Dry earth and floods
Hell and high water
To bring you my love
Climbed over mountains
Travelled the sea
Cast down off heaven
Cast down on my knees
I've laid with the devil
Cursed god above
Forsaken heaven
To bring you my love
To bring you my love
To bring you my love
To bring you my love
I know he's gonna be here
He know he's gonna be here
Yeah alright
Forsaken heaven
Cursed god above
Lay with the devil
Bring you my love
To bring you my love
To bring you my love
To bring you my love

2.MEET ZE MONSTA

See it coming
At my head
I'm not running
I'm not scared
Big black monsoon
Take me with you
I'm not jerking
I won't hide
Yeah, I'm ready
Meet ze monsta tonight
Big black monsoon
Take me with you
What a monsta
What a night
What a lover
What a fight
Big black monsoon
Take me with you
Yeah it's coming
Out of this world
Yeah, I'm lucky
Lucky girl
Hell ain't half full
Take me with you
Big black monsoon
Take me with you

3.WORKING FOR THE MAN

In the night I look for love
Get my strength from the man above
God of piston, god of steel
God is here behind the wheel
I'm just working for the man
Pretty things get in my car
Take them flying, it's not far
Take in handsome, take in me
Look good in my steel machine
I'm just working for the man
Don't you know yet who I am
Working harder for the man
Go around I'm doing good
Get my strength from the man above
I'm just working for the man
I'm just doing what I can
Go around I'm doing good

4.C’MON BILLY

C'mon Billy
Come to me
You know I’m waiting
I love you endlessly
C'mon Billy
You're the only one
Don't you think it's time now
You met your only son
I remember
Lover's play
The car was cold and
We lay in it for days
I remember
The things you said
My little Billy,
Come to your lover's bed
Come home
Is my plea
Your home now is
Here with me
Come home
To your son
Tomorrow might never come
C'mon Billy
You look good to me
How many nights now
Your child inside of
Don't forget me
I had your son
Damn thing went crazy
But I swear you're the only one
Come along, Billy, now come to me
Come along, and come to me

5.TECLO

Long goes the night
Longer the day
Teclo your death
Will send me to my grave
I learn to beg
I learn to pray
Send me his love
Send him to me again
Let me ride
Let me ride
Let me ride on his grace for a while
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on his grace for a while
Long goes the night
Longer the day
Teclo your death
Will send me to my grave
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on his grace for a while
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on your grace for a while
Just let me ride

6.LONG SNAKE MOAN

Dunk you under
Deep salt water
Bring me lover
All your power
I'll be no hell
Out of your spell
Over
Under
Die of pleasure
Hear my dreaming
You'll be drowning
Hell's no
God above
All drunk
On my love
You wanna hear my long snake moan
You oughta see me crawl my roar
Dunk you under
Deep salt water
In my dreaming
You'll be drowning
Raise me up lord
Call me Lazarus
Hey Lord
Help me
Make me
Marvel
You wanna hear my long snake moan
You oughta see me crawl my roar
Is my voodoo working
Moan Woo Moan

7.DOWN BY HE WATER

I lost my heart
Under the bridge
To that little girl
So much to me
And now I'm old
And now I holler
She'll never know
Just what I found
That blue eyed girl
She said "no more"
That blue eyed girl
Became blue eyed whore
Down by the water
I took her hand
Just like my daughter
Won't see her again
Oh help me Jesus
Come through this storm
I had to lose her
To do her harm
I heard her holler
I heard her moan
My lovely daughter
I took her home
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here, man, gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here, man, gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here, man, gimme my daughter

8.I THINK I’M A MOTHER

You think you'll come over
I'll give you my number
You lover supporter
Then give me your mother
You come take me home and
Take me to your doctor
You think you'll come over
I think I'm a mother
Roll over, roll over
And roll me a man-a
You lover, my lover
You just roll me over
You give me your mother
A man if I love her
I love her, I'll keep her
I better just keep her
Come on and support her
I said to the mother
She said you come over
She said she'd support her
I love her, I kept her
And then she just left and
Alone, I implore you
I think I'm a mother
Need your mother, more than ever
Need your mother

9.SEND HIS LOVE TO ME

Lover had to leave me
Across the desert plain
Turned to me his lady
Tell me lover wait
Calling Jesus, please
Send his love to me
Oh, wind and rain they haunt me
Look to the North and pray
Send me, please, his kisses
Send them home today
I'm begging, Jesus, please
Send his love to me
Left alone in desert
This house becomes a hell
This love becomes a tether
This room becomes a cell
Mummy, daddy, please
Send him back to me
How long must I suffer
Dear God, I've served my time
This love becomes my torture
This love, my only crime
Oh lover please release me
My arms too weak to grip
My eyes to dry for weeping
My lips too dry to kiss
Calling, Jesus, please
Send his love to me
I'm begging, Jesus, please
Send his love to me

10.THE DANCER

He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me
He said dance for me, fanciulla gentile
He said laugh awhile, I can make your heart feel
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true God
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love
'Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
I've looked long, I've looked far
To bring peace to my black and empty heart
My love will stay 'till the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
I love him longer as each damn day goes
The man is gone and heaven only knows
'Cause I've cried days, I've cried nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
Is he near
Is he far
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
So long day, so long night
Oh Lord, be near me tonight
Is he near
Is he far
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
