Him: When she's gone..
Her: Is it my smile? Is it that crazy fallin' feelin' you miss my love?
Him: When she's gone, it's just the little things that you long for.

(Verse 1)
End of my week
fast as I can man I ran for the tram
on my tired feet.
mmmhmmm
Found a prime seat
but I chose to stand for the family
who hopped on beside me.
mmmhmmm
Good folks we spoke 'bout life
'bout the bills and what brings them delight
and how they feed a family of five.
The mother she sighed
said we must survive
reality's the sharpest of all knives
but it cuts on both sides.
(Chorus)
And then she said:
I'm off work
oh let me ease me mind, my back and my feet hurt
I'm off work
oh let me ease me mind, my back and my feet hurt
(Verse 2)
Home to my Queen
walkin' hand in hand is the plan
over land air and high seas
mmmhmmm
She inspires me
and I like the man that I am
when her love's here to guide me
mmmhmmm
We vibe we compromise
Especially when the conflicts rise
'cuz who can say that love is for life?
She been by my side
keep me on my grind
and if they cut the power off or they try..
I'd love her in the candle light!
(Chorus)
I'm off work
oh let me ease me mind, my back and my feet hurt
mmmhmmm
I'm off work
oh let me ease me mind, my back and my feet hurt
mmmhmmm

All of the Thangs
04:40
|

|
All of the thangs given unto you could just fade away tonight
Could be the way you walk
the way you sing a song
Could be the last day the ladies love you
no more strength to make love to them all night long
All of the thangs given unto you could just fade away tonight
so give up yourself to faith 'cause homie it ain't hardly worth the fight.

Screamin' Into the Night
04:09
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
The success of indoctrination
is marked by a sharp line of demarcation
between those open to grow - and those too weak
the rest too ashamed to speak
For damn sure the premise of emancipation
was not a mass re-incarceration
when mutilation from bondage
has cut so deep - surely freedom is what one seeks..
So tell me how
from strange fruit hung from boughs
we in a system unfit for cows
(Verse 2)
It seems then the aim of the proclamation
was to unleash a population
who maintained awareness and hope
while under the yoke - the definition of staying woke
To calm fears statesmen and deacons
use words to reach - but preach ain't the same as teach
meanwhile there's wars over trade and at home over speech
and the books get cooked with bleach
One group gets wings
while bare feet kick up dust
and can a Pterodactyl win your trust?
(Chorus)
Before they take me
screamin' into the night
I'mma show you I'm a lion
when the time is right
Before they take me
screamin' into the night
I'mma show you I'm a lion
when the time is right
(Verse 3)
Despite the history of degradation
shared by oppressed folks of all persuasions
it's always inspiring to trace all the family trees
and what emerges from nurtured seeds
And how the soil
enriched by the wounds that bleed
can provide what the future needs - although -
the offspring and legacy of crooks and thieves
tend to print most of what we read
but even it's in our way
we can compensate
if we congregate
and we concentrate
(Chorus)
Before they take me
screamin' into the night
I'mma show you I'm a lion
when the time is right
Before they take me
screamin' into the night
I'mma show you I'm a lion
when the time is right

Baby Stay With Me
03:37
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Girl your eyes are tellin' me you want me
and your heart is beating kind of fast
and your touch makes me feel less lonely
so can I ask if you'll stay with me for a while
(Chorus)
Baby stay with me for tonight
Baby stay with me for tonight
Or maybe for a lifetime
(Verse 2)
Boy your style is making me go crazy
and your words are dancing in my mind
and you're bold, and know just how to hold me
so I guess you can stay with me a while
(Chorus)
Baby stay with me for tonight
Baby stay with me for tonight
Or maybe for a lifetime
(Verse 3)
Oh the night is gently growing colder
but the warm light of the dawn is suddenly in sight
and the soul was made for more than just a chemical emotion
there's a strong connection and far greater bonds
discovered in good time
(Chorus)
Baby stay with me for tonight
Baby stay with me for tonight
Or maybe for a lifetime

You Don't Want Me
04:30

You don't understand how much I wantcha
and girl it's like you don't care
when all of this time I'm thinkin' of ya
but you don't want me
Do you remember?
Firm grip / hands all over your hair?
when all of this time I'm thinkin' of you
but you don't want me

Searchin'
04:02
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Are you searchin' for something
to fill and empty space
is the warmth that was denied you
replaced by the flame the spark the burn
the drop hit shot rush that makes your world turn
leaving you lying still in a spinning space concerned
(Verse 2)
And do you suppose that what awaits us
could relieve these earthly stains
or instead of time being saved
would the lives hurt be in vain
Or is growing old
to live and love the bravest way
to be kind, see the good, turn the page
(Bridge to nowhere)
Well easier said than done
as you struggle with the tides and waves
your senses form a web
that tangles in your head and weighs you down
So you drift until you're miles away
and emptiness is waiting there
and emptiness is waiting there...
|

8. |

|
(Verse 1)
You give me ten minutes
and it lasts for a while
look at me once or twice
and it stays with me through the miles
You give me peace when I'm stirrin'
when those plane wings are purrin'
up in the sky
The thought of your lips
your hair your face
I'm alright in any place
And I'm longing
when I find my way down
(Chorus)
Between the mountain and the sea
I'll be waitin'
to see you again
Between the mountain and the sea
I'll be wading
to see you again
(Pavel vocal solo)
(Verse 2)
Follow the river from the streams
Get to the sand that's glistening
And I see the mountains above
And I'm filled with so much love
And when I reach the sea
You're standing there waiting on me
(Chorus)
Between the mountain and the sea
I'll be waitin'
to see you again
Between the mountain and the sea
I'll be wading
to see you again
(Aled guitar solo)
(Mitko piano solo)
(Pavel vocal 'trumpet' solo)
(Chorus)
Between the mountain and the sea
I'll be waitin'
to see you again
Between the mountain and the sea
I'll be wading
to see you again

A Greater Love (Outtake)
06:25
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
How could I find a greater love than you girl
where could I turn
to someone who knows me for me
What do we do
with this heartache and pain
and how do I find a greater love?
How do I find a greater love?
where else could I turn
for someone who knows me for me
and what do we do with this heartache and pain
and how do I find a greater love?
(Pavel vocal solos)
Still want you
at night as a I lay
Still want you
as I scroll through my telephone
and see your name
Still want you
but it's ok
Still want you
though I'm far away
