1. _ Don't Ask Me Why
I choose to stay far away from the ones that think
Money is money to share
Don't ask me why and I'll tell you no lies.
Sonny don't come here no more
He don't drink from this well
He's done with the world
And done with the girl
And I don't ask him why
And he tells me no lies
Those of us who are lost and low
I know how you feel
I know it's not right but it's real
But it's real
I don't ask for love
And I don't beg for money
I'm just asking for grace and forgiveness now honey
Don't ask me why
And I'll tell you no lies
Been looking for answers in unsavory places
On the highest of mountains
And the lowest of bases
And I still don't know why
I still don't know why
Those of us wo are lost and low
We know how you feel
We know it's not right but it's real
But it's real
I took the wind from the sea
I took the blood from an arrow
I took the wisdom of spring
And I was thrown and blown and tossed and turned
Until time found its hand
And called it an end
Me and time, we go way back when
I was a child and I always knew it
I knew my name, I knew my road
And I stayed away from heavy loads
And still I am low
Oh lord, am I low
Those of us who are lost and low
We know how you feel
We know it's not right but it's real
But it's real

2. _ Night After Night
My darling, I loved you
I long to become you
And know what it is that you gave
We dance the sorrow
Forgive me tomorrow
And I pray night after night and day after day
Would you watch my body weaken
And my mind drift away?
Dear lover forsaken, our love is taken away
You were my speaker, my innocence-keeper
I don't night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken,
My mind drift away?
Dear lover forgiven, my love is driven by rage
Oh I should just leave you, instead I've deceived you
But I don't
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken and mind drift away?
I count no one, hold nobody's ear
I sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear
I don't stand for the devil
I don't whisper in ears
I stand on the mountains and call people to hear
Sudden bursts of light, it's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing
He longs for the answers, as all of us must
He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust
He screams in the night, I scream in the day
He weeps in the evening and lies naked and prays
Night after night, day after day
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken and my mind drift away?
It's a tempting communion
It's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing
What it is that you're told

3. _ My Friends
My friends, my dear friends
And lovers, oh my lovers
I'd leave you for them
They got a hand on my back
Mama has money now and Mama has friends
She's making rags for some uptown hags
With their money in bags
And why are you so sad?
Why are you always so sad?
Why do I not understand?
Why don't I see what it is you see?
Why can I live and just be?
I'm full of guilt
I am full of guilt
You're very tall, you're very handsome
You have it all, your skin smells like man
And I, you never know how I ache
You will never know how I ache
Don't touch that in grace
Ever considered the sea?
I heard you had to be strong
Why not float around with me?
It won't take you so long
You can go where I'm at
You can hang around with me
And a few good men will go where they all
Where they all not be
And a few good mothers go for what they,
What they all not teach
And I long for a touch or reminder of us but,
But it must not be
And a few strong branches over water reach for what they all not reach
I hope your mother knows where it is you have been
I hope your mother knows what it is you have seen
She'd be so proud
She will never know how I ache

4. _ Sophia
Oh I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I've been lately is no concern of yours
Who's been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Shy and tired-eyed am I to day
I'm wounded by dust
All I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I've been lately is no concern of yours
Who's been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Shy and tired-eyed am I today
Sometimes I sit, sometimes I stare
Sometimes they look and I don't care
Rarely I weep, sometimes I must
I'm wounded by dust
When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day,
You'll be getting down on your knees to pray
I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I'm not a woman to go and place blame but you said that it was coming on judgement day
Now Sophia
I'm wounded by dust
When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day,
You'll be getting down on your knees to pray
I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I'm not a woman to go and place blame but you said that it was coming on judgement day
Now Sophia
I'm wounded by dust
Now Sophia

6. _ The Beast
Where did our love go, you will never know
How did you get home, you will never know
Did you catch yourself in the mirror?
It's a sight I understand
You considered it all for a second
And put it down to slight of hand
You know I've been running 'round for hours
Calling my Egyptian blood to bear me flowers
Calling Sophia, goddess of power
Instead I got the beast
And tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes to beast
You're okay now, I suppose
You're not pulled by the rope
I'm pulled by the pull on my throat
I'm pulled by the rope
I swing from the trees into the slope
Hold my head high, just by the tip of my toes
And he lies, he lies so sweet that I choke
Tonight I choose the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast
Put your eyes away
If you can't bear to see your (the?) old lady
Laying down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast
Look at yourself in the mirror
It's a sight I understand
You consider it all for a second
And put it down to slight of hand
I give you the best, the best that I can
I suggest that you be grateful
That it's your blood on my hands?
And assume yourself weaker, the fall of man
And look out for the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast
Put your eyes away
If you can't bear to see your the old lady
Laying down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast

7. _ All My Rage
Stole my children, left my son
Of all of them, he's the only one who did not mean that much to me
I tip my cap to the raging sea
My daughter, she's the pretty one
I married her off to the reverend's son
Now she lives in a sin-free world
Tip your cap to the brave old girl
Now all my rage been gone
Now all my rage been gone
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun
Stole my children, left my son
Of all of them, he's the only one who did not mean that much to me
I tip my cap to the raging sea
Oh cover me up, I'm pale as night
With a mind so dark and skin so white
Is this the devil having fun?
I'd tip my cap to the raging sun
Now all my rage been gone
Now all my rage been gone
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun
Now all my rage been gone
Now all my rage been gone
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun
I'd leave my rage to the sea and the sun

8. _ I Was Just a Card
I was just a card, caught up in the stars,
Looking down to Mars.
You know, you know
I know, I know something
About you that you don't want me to know.
Never found a solid hand till I found that man,
Till I found that man of mine.
You were looking at me, thinking,
"Who am I?"
Never knew the sky was white till I took that flight,
Till I took that flight to him,
Tonight.
I was just a card, caught up in the stars,
Looking down to Mars.
You know, you know
He knows, he knows something
About me that I don't want him to know.
Could've sworn I had that man when he took my hand,
When he took my hand down near you.
You were looking at me, thinking,
"Who is she?"
Didn't even see the night till I said goodbye,
Till I said goodbye to him,
Tonight.

9. _ Rest In the Bed
There lies a man of my heart
A fine and complete work of art
Here, I his woman, his home, and his heart
And proud to be playing that part
And proud to be playing that part
Rest in the bed of my bones
All that I have is a home
And all you can do is promise me bold
That you won't let me grow dark or cold
As long as we both shall live
The sirens come and shall feel your call
As a sound as I believe in you
The first bit's the hardest I'm sure
Where our shadows come to the shore
Know that it's you and I till the end
And all I want from life is to hold your hand
All that I have are these bones
And all that I want is a home
And all you can do is promise me bold
That you won't let me grow dark or cold
As long as we both shall live
The sirens come, they always will
But the dart between my heart and his
Is as good as a diamond chain
Rest in the bed of my bones
All that I want is a home
And all you can do is promise me bold
That you won't let me grow dark or cold
As long as we both shall live

10. _ Salinas
I am from Salinas where the women go forever
And they never ever to stop to ask why
My mother was a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour
With long, blond curly hair down to her thigh
Oh my mother
Oh my friends
Ask the angels "Will I ever see heaven again?"
Late into the evening, they would take each other screaming
Looking darkly to the back of her eye
The careless beast was bleating that the air behind was breathing
That they musn't ever look up to the sky
There are no answers
There are found
Ask the angels, "Am I heaven-bound?"
"Oh am I heaven-bound?"
Put it down to me
I, who speak awkwardly
Any word, if it is heard, is not intended to be
Not for them, not for her
Not for him, and not for me
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand
When the clouds roll in, we start paying for our sins
With a gun in my hand and my sun at my shoulder
Believe I will run before that boy gets older
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand
I am from Salinas where the women go forever
And they never ever stop to ask why
My mother, she's a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour
With long, blond curly hair down to her thigh
Oh my mother
Oh my friends
Ask the angels, "Will I ever see heaven again?"
"Will I ever see even again?"
"Will I ever see even again?"
Punish them all, for they speak too much
Hate the world for what it did to us
Will I ever see heaven again?
