CHORUS
I've been waiting for you
Waiting for you
I've been up and down
I've been all around
I yearn the warmth of your sound
I've been waiting for you
Waiting for you
Melody passes through me
And I am born again

VERSE 1
You told me you're broken
Told me you’re through
So much has happened don't know what to do
You've cried your last cry said your good-byes
Don't need him around just pulls you down
Have to put it all behind you leave if love's not true
He's not the one for you
He lies cheats never loves you
Shows you no respect always leaves you sitting here
Crying in a wreck
CHORUS
I will be faithful
I will be faithful
I will be faithful
VERSE 2
Can you find it in your heart to make a brand new start
Know that I'm here for you know that I care
Look into my eyes
What do you see
What do you feel
Do you feel how I am aching sitting here watching you cry
Can you see my heart breaking hearing you say you want to die
Can you feel the pain consuming me hearing you still love him
Can you know the anguish of my soul
Knowing that I could never say
That I will be faithful
BRIDGE
I wish you could hear me… I'm saying I love you
I wish you could feel… I'm holding you tight
You're forever in my heart… I could never hurt you
I wish you could believe

Another Day

I see you standing there
Brown as Earth
Light is drawn to u
And I… I am drawn to sound
The sound of bare feet against cool wooden floors
The sound of your voice against my earlobes
What dominates your dreams?
What controls desire?
What ignites the fire?
What takes you higher?
What brings ecstasy to your fantasy.
Intensity to your sensuality.
What combines urgency, necessity, and exhibits complexity in my humanity.
Is it song?
Is it poem?
Is it candle light, the feeling of being light
Skin pressed tight, soft nibble, gentle bite
Bodies that fight and unite.
But u pass right by
A rose, a scent, a sigh
Mother Earth breathes,
Adjective and superlative cease to be definitive
Too sweet for words, too sweet to express
Too deep to formulate, too raw to communicate
Feelings and emotions suffocate, as I stare intently
Gaze directly in hateful anonymity at the brilliance
That is vanishing before my eyes
Step by step. Emptiness consumes.
Longing reverberates thru the hollow of me.
I am as I was b4.

Wade in the Water

VERSE 1
Every step along your way
Will lead your closer to me
And every sound my mouth creates
Will lure you closer to me
CHORUS
Wade in the water
It's really not deep
Gaze out on the ocean if only for a peak
And when you get to that side
Where you feel you have to hide
Think of cool waters- the way you made me smile
Think of soft winds- the way you felt inside
VERSE 2
In the dark where I wait for the dawn
I will say your cognomen
And when you do perceive
I'll be hear calming your fears

VERSE 1
There you are... loving
There you are... trusting
I do believe in this love we share
I have no fear now that you are here
In my life
VERSE 2
Here I am... near you
I only live... for you
And baby I want this way I feel to never end
You're my friend until the end
End of time
VERSE 3
So here we are... together
I am yours... forever
And up until now I never knew what love could do
It brought me you
VERSE 4
So here we are... caring sharing loving
And until now I never knew what love could do
Me & U
We'll make it through anything

VERSE 1
I wonder
Are u asleep tonight
Asleep while the moon gives light
And my heart don't feel so right
You're not by my side
I thought of you
As the sun went away
And I can't wait 'til my night will turn again to day
I need you in my life
BRIDGE
All the fights we had
Don't seem to be so big right now
And all the pain we shared
Is nothing like the pain I bear
So close your eyes and may you have sweet dreams
And if there's time please think of me
I'll be waiting here
'Til the morning comes
VERSE 2
Now I know I've done you wrong
I never should have left your side
But sometimes as we look away the treasure in our palms slips away
So now as I say goodnight
On my knees in this candlelight
I'm begging you
Please come back to me.

The Sad Song
03:58
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Tear filled brown eyes
A look to memorize
Dark full lips
The ones you never kissed
A feeling deep inside
As dark as suicide
You run your fingers through my hair
And then you disappear-Oh
VERSE 2
Your things' still in my drawer
Your pictures line the corridor
I wish I could have known
Tonight I'd be alone
You put your hands around my heart
And then you pull apart
Blood is everywhere
But you don't even care-Oh.

More Love

VERSE 1
Have you ever paused to look into her eyes
Have you taken the time to find out why she cries
Would you stay for a while, while he tried to remove his disguise
And showed you the fear that he found buried deep inside
VERSE 2
Everyone out there yes they too deserve respect
It's not just ones with whom you can connect
Sometimes what appears to be different in truth is the same
Truth and love together should be the aim
BRIDGE
Cause there's pain and the air
And sweet smiles hide deep despair
And you could dry a tear if you cared
CHORUS
More love
We need more love

VERSE 1
My soul has been longing
For some belonging
Searching never found
Ever spinning round
My heart has been waiting
Anticipating
Joy truly ever flowing
Peace beyond my knowing
CHORUS
I’ve been waiting for you
Been up been down been all around
I yearn the warmth of your sound
I’ve been waiting for you
I hoped and prayed then cried for days
But now you’re here in me
VERSE 2
Motion always comes to rest
Flying birds soon come to nest
Immersed in beauty void of sight
Midnight sun illuminate my night
It’s quiet here inside me
Harmony reigns over me
I come to rest within myself
Here I do belong
CHORUS 2
I’ve been waiting for you
I rest in peace my agony released
I’m sleeping in your arms
I’ve been waiting for you
Melody passes through me and I’m born again
BRIDGE
Now I don’t care what you think about me
I only know there’s peace within my soul
Now you may choose whatever Thing that pleases you
But it won’t take my love.

VERSE
Hush little one
Don't let the insanity
Disquiet you
Let it go
You have tormented self
For far too long
BRIDGE
Why do you agonize
And crucify yourself
Transcend this dormancy
Search for tranquility
CHORUS
Sleep little one
Sleep little one
Sleep little one

MUSIC DISH
“May be blessed with musical genius… I must also admit, that while holding my 6-month-old daughter, I was emotionally overwhelmed when I heard the beautiful title tune, “I’ve Been Waiting.” I realized that I had been waiting for her all my life.”
GENERATION Q, WBAI 99.5 FM
“Phenomenal. I liked that there are all different kinds of love. There is the romantic aspect but there is also the spiritual dimension.”
PM ENTERTAINMENT MAGAZINE
“I’ve Been Waiting For You” is a gift of pure honesty, emotion, and unblemished musical talent, encased in jeweled wrapping.”
