Gabriel

Sing me songs of beauty
blossoms dripping from the vine.
Amber sun across the meadow
& your finger's keeping time.
Sing me songs of wonder -
rubies glowin in the mine.
Sweet and dark - and so divine.
And as lovely as the eyes of Gabriel.
The Story.
Oh, The Story.
The anguish & the glory.
Sing me songs of beauty and of love.
The Story.
Oh, The Story.
The anguish & the glory.
Sing me songs of beauty and of love.
Oh, sing me songs of beauty and of love.

Love Letters

I'm writin love letters to you.
Don't you know it? Don't you know it?
Don't you know?
My heart thumps & my lips move.
Cause I'm writin love letters to you.
Oh, lord. Oh, lord.
I hope she can change.
And if I had faith -
you know I would pray.
Instead I'll just make change
with the oath that I make.

Milk & Honey
03:24

My mama was a stranger.
My daddy was a ghost.
My brother & my sister -
I ain't never even known.
As a hungry little baby,
I was laid there at 'er door.
She led me to the milk and the honey,
and I won't hungry anymore.
Now my heart is just a lodestone
ever pointin towards the fields
where the serpent sleeps
under the steps of the house
where Jesus lives.
And I ain't got no money.
I ain't got no home.
But when the spark goes out -
you just lay me down
in the Carolina soil.

I'm Here
01:25
|

|
I'm here.
I'm alive.
And, today, I got my mind.
I'm here.
I'm alive.
And I got my love by my side.
And that star -
it's so far away.
Still it greets me every day.
Cause I'm here.
I'm alive.
And, today, I got my mind.
