Eden

Surrounded in your incense, like a lost exotic flower
Who's longing for a down pour, but content within your shower
My tongue absorbs your taste, before my breath exhales your dew
Like nectar from an orchid, that could never bloom like you
The honey found inside, is like a sweet forbidden fruit
Discovered in a garden, where its realms are absolute
If heaven is a place, then it's in heaven where I lay
Within your warm oasis, all of Eden on display

The Best I Could Do

I never deserved you...
So your closest friends said
But those letters I sent you
They must never have read
The words I strung together
Were the thoughts I had of you
They may not be much... But the best I could do
I may have been angry...
But I smiled when I could
If I swore that I'd love you
Then I possibly would
But something in my heart, said
I may not be true to you
I tried to be honest... That's the best I could do
Those times we were happy...
They weren't meant to last
I tried to light up
But the shadows were cast
I'd look towards the heavens
Tried to will a brighter view
I never gave up... That's the best I could do
I'm sorry you're leaving
But what can I say?
You may find a lover
Who will want you to stay
I'll try to think about us
Like an old flame's meant to do
It may not be much... But it's the best I can do

The Fool You Became


I never did like ya
And maybe you knew
The worst parts of me... Ha, remind me of you
Those dark inner demons
That slipped from my tongue
Were right, even when I was wrong
And those hate filled eyes...
That stare into space
The sultry look, that resides on your face
But now that I'm older, I see it all clear
I don't hate you, its me that I fear
And I don't care...
So go on your way
Have a safe journey
And have a good day
But believe me... You'll turn out the same
And I'll be the one you will blame, for the fool that you one day became
The way you walk
With that swagger of mine
Your breath much the same, smells of Thunderbird wine
The girls that you dated...  I'd been there before
They all wanted me, so they knocked on your door
And here you are...
You're just like a clown
A clown, is all that I see
I'm wondering still, why you can't be yourself?
And why would you wanna be me?
When I'm just a guy, who lost all he had
A little bit crazy, a little bit mad
I should be more angry, but find that I'm not
Content now with all that I've got
And I don't care...
So go on your way
Have a safe journey
And have a great day
But believe me... You'll turn out the same
Though you'll be the one who's to blame, for the fool that you one day became

Tumbling Sky

When the stars above are shining
It is you that I always see
No matter if they fell from high
They could never distract me

And when the clouds decide to gather
I still see your pretty face
No matter what those storms may bring
You could never fall from grace

While the climbing moon arises
Even if it's coloured blue
I gaze above that tumbling sky
And reach right out to you

As I know that you're out there somewhere
Beneath the same old tumbling sky
And that it just takes time and patience
To unite both you and I

Crash Right Through The Sky

You know you lift my spirit
Yeah, you raise it high
Sometimes I feel I might collide or, crash right through the sky
You are so beautiful
Is there a better word?
I'm sure there must be, though right now, it's not been heard
You are a part of me girl
You are my beating heart
I know this, as it skips a beat when, we're too far apart
You're the one I turn to
You're the one I love
Continue being you, and lift my, treasured soul above
Yeah you lift my spirit
And you raise it high
So high I feel I might collide or, crash right through the sky
So high I feel I might collide or, crash right through the sky

I, Your Rastafari

Oh Jah, praise I
Oh Jah, raise I
I have lived my life by you
I, your Rastafari
I, your Rastafari

I have...
Been taken from my land
No more free to run
Put in chains, and sold as slave
Then placed in Babylon. Placed in, Babylon
Oh Jah, praise I
Oh Jah, raise I
I have lived the best I can
I, your Rastafari
I, your Rastafari

Every...
Tear I've ever cried
Don't let them be in vain
For, every single tear I spilled
Was done so in your name. Was done so, in your name
So Jah, praise I
Oh Jah, raise I
In life I've trusted you
I, your Rastafari
I, your Rastafari

You have...
Blessed me with a gentle strength
I, both lamb and lion
Take me as created Jah
Return I back to Zion. Return I, back to Zion
Oh Jah praise I
Oh Jah, raise I
In death I follow still
I, your Rastafari
I, your Rastafari

A Vulgar Display

In the labyrinth maze that we call a mind
I'm frightened of things that I'll someday find
Those flickering stills that I've locked away
May form as a film in a vulgar display
These images time has appropriately lost
Might shed some light at a deadly cost
And show the fears of a distant past
Those fragile thoughts, and the shadows cast
