I won't see you 'till Christmas
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters But the foreman he don't worry He say work boy there's no hurry Don't that big red sun Look a lot like fire When you come out of the ground After forty eight hours Going down down down down down Going down in Durban deep Going down down down down down There's no mercy in my sleep I just hear that drill and hammer I feel the killing heat Going two miles down to the heart Of Durban deep I was born on amen corner I pound rock face, I get lonely But my family they go hungry Sill the boss man he call us lazy Don't the old blue heaven Look a lot like your eyes When you're blinded by the brightness Of the Transvaal sky |

I never dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain't like a man I could fly like a bird somedays Had a place where I could land I could have sworn we were all locked in Ain't that what you said I never knew it could hurt so bad When the power of love is dead But giving into the nightime Ain't no cure for the pain You gotta wade into the water You gotta learn to live again Chorus And reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands I never knew love like poison That burned like a fire All I ever wanted was a reason To drowm in your eyes I never knew sleep so restless Empty arms so cold That's not the way it's supposed to be It ain't the spell that I was sold But giving into the nightime Ain't no cure for the pain You gotta wade into the water You gotta learn to live again And reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands But giving into the nightime Ain't no cure for the pain You gotta wade into the water You gotta learn to live again Reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands Reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands Reach out for her healing hands Reach out for her healing hands There's a light, where the darkness ends, Touch me now and let me see again, Rock me now in your gentle healing hands |

Look at me twice with wildcat eyes
Promise me everything Except a blue night Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass Melt in embraces Of crazy eyed past And whisper, whisper, whispering whispers Tantamount to a lie with lingering breath Walking fingers run Hungry scratches left Dull chimes ringing like an empty voice A distant smile framed Her lips are soft and moist With whisper, whisper, whispering whispers [Chorus] And whisper in a rhythm your lies Keep comfort for others Hurt me with the night Whisper like cold winds Close to the bone Save heaven for lovers Leave me alone With your whisper, whisper, whispering whispers Whisper, whisper, whispering whispers And whisper in rhythm your lies Keep comfort for others Hurt me with the night Whisper like cold winds Close to the bone Save heaven for lovers Leave me alone With your whisper, whisper, whisperin' Whisper in a rhythm your lies Keep comfort for others Hurt me with the night Whisper like cold winds Close to the bone Save heaven for lovers Leave me alone With your whisper, whisper, whispering whispers With your whispers With your whispers Oh oh oh Whispering whispers |

When the shades are drawn
And the light of the moon is banned And the stars up above Walk the heavens hand in hand There's a shadey place At the end of the working day Where young lovers go And this hot little trio plays chorus: That's where we meet That's where we meet Me and you rendezvous In the club at the end of the streets Ooh where we meet Ooh where we meet Me and you rendezvous In the club at the end of the street From the alleyways Where the catwalks gently sway You hear the sound of Otis And the voice of Marvin Gaye In this smokey room There's a jukebox plays all night And we can dance real close Beneath the pulse of a neon light That's a downtown smell of cooking From the flame on an pen grill There's a sax and a big bass pumpin' Lord have mercy Ooh,ya can't sit still Ooh,ya can't sit still That's where we............. |

like a thief he's come, like a thief he's gone he's stolen your tears one by one you're proud to love him, it's a foolish sign you're a broken heart at the scene of the crime and the night drags on, and the fever burns come to your senses, everybody learns you sleep in sweet fire lost and blue you're an empty doll in the power of a fool don't go sleeping with the past don't go praying he'll come back take a deep breath and deny you could love a man like that don't go sleeping with the past don't go waking with a dream there's no tenderness that's left in the cracks you step between if it looks like rain, if it makes no sound it's an echo of pain on common ground love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact passion's a monkey you can't keep off your back but he takes love and he turns it cold he's just an iceman honey, ain't got no heart of gold but he sees you and he runs from you come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to and he'll hurt you and he'll run from you come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to |

Help me information
Get emotion on the line This war that's raging in my heart's Getting harder all the time Our painted smiles are cracking Our worried friends just frown We got a runaway train on an empty track That's trying to run us down And I'm a stone's throw from hurtin' Everything we put together Knee deep in learning about burning this bridge forever I'm a stone's throw, a stone's throw A stone's throw from hurtin' And I know it's never gonna get no better Crippled conversation hangs inside this house Our voices just get ugly When our love gets all talked out Your goodnight kiss ain't hungry Our touches don't connect We're just a couple of kids with a broken toy That our idle fingers wrecked Some things get broken When stones get thrown Some things get better When you leave what you love And you let what you love alone Some things get broken When stones get thrown Some things get better when you leave what you love And let what you love alone |

It's a human sign When things go wrong When the scent of her lingers And temptations strong Into the boundary Of each married man Sweet deceit comes calling And negativity lands Cold cold heart Hard done by you Some things look better baby Just passing through And it's no sacrifice Just a simple word It's two hearts living In two separate worlds But it's no sacrifice No sacrifice It's no sacrifice at all Mutual misunderstanding After the fact Sensitivity builds a prison In the final act We lose direction No stone unturned No tears to damn you When jealousy burns Cold cold heart Hard done by you Some things look better baby Just passing through And it's no sacrifice Just a simple word It's two hearts living In two separate worlds But it's no sacrifice No sacrifice It's no sacrifice at all Cold cold heart Hard done by you Some things look better baby Just passing through And it's no sacrifice Just a simple word It's two hearts living In two separate worlds But it's no sacrifice No sacrifice It's no sacrifice at all no sacrifice at all no sacrifice at all no sacrifice at all |

Well she swept through the church
Like a sweet Sunday prayer While the choir sang Son of Heaven And the groom just walked on air I was killing time with Jesus When the wedding bells began And I saw the most beautiful woman Getting married to a handsome man And she walked like a mystery And she passed like summer rain And she said I do like an angel But I never knew her name Oh the congregation gathered But in darkness I remained In love with the bride of a handsome man But I never knew her name In the shadow of the holy Oh I heard my tell-tale heart Whisper words that never reached her As her vows were made at last Oh the preacher with his blessing Pronounced them man and wife And I saw the most beautiful woman Make a promise to be kept for life |

You're a cool little one
My dark southern breeze Sweeps through my fingers And it amazes me Dixie shadowland Your envy shelters me Lay down your burden Mystery of ebony And it amazes me Oh it amazes me Maybe the heat babe could be this tune It amazes me It amazes me What drives me crazy is that big fat yellow moon Look up that pale light Well she's waking the trees I'm drifting in your hoodoo And it amazes me That magnolia state Got a hold on me I got no blues to preach Just Mississippi company Ain't no magic potion No gri-gri on her side She's bound to my salvation Sweet little mama Take me down by the river tonight And it amazes me |

I gotta quit this habit
It's like some drug for you You've been my sweet sweet addict I've been your little white boy blue You've got the same obsession We ain't no cat and mouse You linger on my lips like confession You laid the traps in this house And it's no use each way we lose You and me at the crossroads of Blue Avenue Hit and run hearts collide here True love passes through Looks like we've got a wreck babe Up on Blue Avenue Up on Blue Avenue Blue Avenue Two hearts get entangled Dirty minds they go to town Everyone's got an angle Little lies get spread around Let them say what they want You and me we already knew Takes more than hocus pocus babe To save you from Blue Avenue |

Have you ever had a good time turn bad
When the leaves turn brown And the shattered glass just splinters It's days like this that you can't resist A long tall drink And a big yellow sun in the winter And you can go dancing You can go dancing You can go dancing Dancing in the end zone And you can go dancing You can go dancing You can go dancing Dancing in the end zone Did you ever pray you could stay away Company excluded From the curse of the family circle In a big round room on the edge of the moon There's a shooting star In a race for the final hurdle You can go dancing You can go dancing You can go dancing Dancing in the end zone And you can go dancing You can go dancing You can go dancing Dancing in the end zone No need to worry, no need to worry No need to worry when you dance alone You already made it, you already made it When you're dancing in the end zone You can go dancing You can go dancing You can go dancing Dancing in the end zone You can go dancing You can go dancing You can go dancing Dancing in the end zone You can go dancing In the end zone You can go dancing In the end zone You can go dancing You can go dancing in the end zone You can go dancing You can go dancing in the end zone You can go dancing You can go dancing in the end zone |

We follow the dog who follows the cat
We swallow the chain if they don't fight back We come and go, just getting by We got a flag on the moon, we got a hole in the sky And each man kills the things he loves It's an edible romance we all dream of And love eats love, eats love Love is a cannibal Woman is a criminal She have the hunger But man is the animal And love eats love, eats love Love is a cannibal We live in the woods but we hate the trees We kill off the jungle but we save the leaves The family face is painted grey They did it for the baby and the wedding day |
