Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant South The bulgin' eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burnin' flesh Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the tree to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop |

Love is blindness
I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me Take my heart Love is blindness In a parked car In a crowded street You see your love Made complete Thread is slipping Love is blindness Love is clockworks And cold steel Fingers too numb to feel Squeeze the handle Blow out the candle Love is blindness Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me Oh my love Blindness A little death Without mourning No call And no warning Baby... a dangerous idea That almost makes sense Love is drowning In a deep well All the secrets And no one to tell Take the money Honey Blindness Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me Oh my love Blindness |

He had silver and gold
Riches untold And the beast of the field lay at his feet Everybody bowed He wondered why or how It all came to be No one understood his sorrow No one saw his pain He way praying for grace Ravens pray for rain And when he stood before the altar Solomon sang Solomon sang Wisdom was his calling Pride sent him falling Love was blissful misery When the days grew dim Life begin again In the questions of the Queen Did she understand his sorrow Did she see his pain Vanity and precious stones Weigh you down the same But when he laid down with Mekeda Solomon sang Solomon sang Love for woman Love for God Not so simple Not too hard For the spirit Pleasure is sweet And surrender set him free Free Set him free When our time is ended How will we have spent it Did we see the beauty in each day Was it God's devotion Behind each emotion Or did it all just slip away Can you understand his sorrow Can you see his pain Nothing lives forever But the love that bears your name And when he stood up in the temple Solomon sang Solomon sang Solomon sang Solomon sang |

The blues came along and drove my spirit away. I went in my room, I said I bowed down to pray. I said the blues came along and drove my spirit away.

Skylark
Have you anything to say to me? Won't you tell me where my love can be? Is there a meadow in the mist Where someone's waiting to be kissed? Oh skylark Have you seen a valley green with spring? Where my heart can go a journeying Over the shadows and the rain To a blossom covered lane And in your lonely flight Haven't you heard the music in the night? Wonderful music Faint as a will o' the wisp Crazy as a loon Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon Oh skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there Oh skylark Won't you lead me there? |

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry. I've never seen a night so long When time goes crawling by The moon just went behind a cloud To hide its face and cry, Did you ever hear a robin weep When leaves began to die That mean he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry. The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry. |

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say Just like children sleepin We could dream this night away But theres a full moon risin Let's go dancin in the light We know where the musics playin Let's go out and feel the night Because Im still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because Im still in love with you On this harvest moon When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart But now it's gettin late And the moon is climbin high I want to celebrate See it shinin in your eye Because Im still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because Im still in love with you On this harvest moon |
