Interoretation 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
