Before The Crime I wore a cap upon my head, They stopped me at the door. Well, you know, it never caused a stir, When I came here before. "Remove your hat right now," they said, "Can't you read the signs? It's just a new precaution to ensure your peace of mind." No matter if you're black or white, If you're rich or broke, You can't avoid this consequence, It's like a twisted joke, You can't avoid suspicion, no, No matter what you do. No matter where you go, my friends, they've got their eyes on you. They'll search your pockets at the gate, They'll make you shake with fear, They'll ask you what your purpose is, Why your coming here, They've got their cameras everywhere, To watch you all the time, They treat you like a criminal, Before you've done the crime.

Jasmine Upon the golden sands we met, Beside a turquoise sea, As the crimson sun did set, And icy winds blew free, A psychedelic mandolin quartet, Played a haunting melody, You know I never will forget, Drinking bitter jasmine tea.

Golden Leaves The summertime was over, Sunshine turned to rain, And all about the branches shed their tears of crimson flame, The birds had all flown far away, The roses had all died, But still I held nirvana, When I gazed into your eyes. When the haunting winds of autumn time whispered to the trees, And the grey October meadow wore a veil of golden leaves, When snowdrop petals glistened in the early morning dew, It was then that I decided to spend my #life with you.

A Lonely Poet A lonely poet, Weeping in the night, Pulls her shining armour blankets high. Breezes through curtains cool, Sighing calls, Whispered windy madrigals... To fill her sails, And send her vessel homeward.

A Thousand Dreams When the day is over close your eyes, Go to sleep my darling, don't you cry, Do not weep, but softly sleep, Until the light of day, Tomorrow is a thousand dreams away. Can't you hear the distant midnight chimes? Close your eyes, because you know it's time To sleep so tight, all through the night, Until the light of day, Tomorrow is a thousand dreams away. So when the light is fading in the sky, I'll be here to sing you a lullaby, And hold you tight all through the night, Until the light of day, Tomorrow is a thousand dreams away.
