Haitian Love Song lyrics
Interoretation of early black and white haitian love songs
One.
Oceans wept
Moutains slept
Sidewalks crumbled to ash
Your name remains
In children s lullabies
And your eyes forever in the sky
Two.
Pull me close
Dear i m tremblin
Hold me tight
I m afraid ot the night
Blackness fills the room
Your love burns bright
Three.
Oh summer winds
Remind me of your kiss
Soft and warm
I never want to leave this
Four.
I never wanted ti say goodbye
I d throw myself to the sea
If god promised you re inside
We d float to island paradise
And i d become your bride
Five.
The countryside looks bare
Without you lying in her grass
The stream is dry
And the crickets silent
There s no music in the night
I d become smoke
And hide in your cigarette pack
Seven.
To be a star
Tossing light
To sparkle in your eyes
I d become an angel
And kiss this earth goodbye
Eight.
Destiny
Use to be
Just a word to me
But heaven sure was right
When they said jesus left somethin behind
Nine.
Every inch of this body
I d plate in gold for you
Even though i ain t go no money
I d do it just to keep you
Ten.
Your eyes appear
In every one of my dreams
They glitter and they gleam
Like the first time we meet
Eleven.
The chickens crowed
And i knowed your home
My spirit ran to greet you
Before my feet left the porch
