Interpretation 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
