F H

faithless

herd on da wind you come back fo me
didn’ t think you come back fo me
didn’ t think you come back at all
been so long my skin grew tired

dis life too hard to know all alone
caroline cover me jus fine
she a quilt ginst the cold in ma blood
she mend de torn spots in ma soul

aint got no mind ta leev dis place
go on mosesfind yo promise lan
mines is here beside dis fire
wid folks we knows from when we’ s born

hole

dis suit of clothes jus as empty
as a sky wid no stars
two years a workinsavin money
denjohn drop out my heart

i dont want ta see his wife
i knows dat she is me
i’ se could go inshootin de rifle
let my angry run free

bes notjust my temper risin
no use stoking dead fire
but ta see his face one mo time
now lordjus you on high
