Through The Glow Of Candlelight
Too many windows and doors,
Remain locked and closed.
Even the presence of shadows,
Seem to be missing from view.
And there you sit in a corner wondering,
Why no one seems to care.
I think you just want me to believe that.
Too many sentences spoken to use,
Flow from your lips without the benefit..
Of an exclamation or periods.
You want this,
Undeniable anguish.
And you deliver this as an invitation?
I sense you have something up your sleeve.
Your interpretation of happiness,
And mine...
Do not mix!
Whatever it is you cling to,
Has you in a grasp of sadness...
You most enjoy as I perceive it.
To say you are meditating on attracting love...
As you say,
Is something done you do...
I must admit,
I don't want to stay another minute...
To witness whatever kind of love it is you wish.
One you want to make an appearance...
In this gloom and darkness.
Why do you smile at me,
Through the glow of candlelight?
Baby...
No disrespect!
But I think I better go!
And let me ask you this...
Why do you have so many mason jars,
Filled with tomato sauce.
It is tomato sauce?
Isn't it?
Why do you smile at me,
Through the glow of candlelight?
Baby...
No disrespect!
But I think I better go!
'Please stay.
I find you quite amusing.'
Under one condition!
That butcher knife sitting on that raised pedestal...
You let me have it to hold.
'Sure!
Where would you like to hold it?
And don't say in your hands.
They all seem to say that...
First.'

I Like Tomato Sauce
i like tomato sauce
and so i keep lots of
and different kinds of
tomato sauces inside
the ref and when i open
it one night i thought
tomato sauce are also
water and i am in a trance
of some sort or something
i drink tomato sauce
and i remember you:

American Baby
If these walls came crumblin' down
Fell so hard, to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
And still make lemonade taste like a summer day
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time, I could see you smile
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You lift me up and always will
I see you in life
Hope I don't get left behind
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
I hope you
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby

My mothers your mother fathers your father
It all started when I kissed her it was love at first sight
Better when it started
I aint broken hearted but baby
I need some time alone with the crew to do the stupid things that we used to do
Upon this she dropped me
With a frying pan
This is love Im not gonna leave it
My babys got sauce
Your baby aint sweet like mine
My babys got sauc eand of course as a matter of course she does what she
Wants to cause shes the boss
Please dont tell my friends about the situation
They think Im on some extended vacation
I dont get out to see my boys anymore
Only time I leave the house is to go to the store for what she wants what she
Wants what she wants me for
What could she want this time
Im all hers
She aint even hardly mine
Believe me what she do at night I dont know
I could guess it aint right
She got me waiting comes in late and Im trying not to raise my voice
Negotiating it
Shell win the argument
Shouldnt even started it Im broken hearted I cant be parted
I need a taste
So I count my loss mmmmm
My baby got sauce

This song is dedicated to millie, whose six-week-old face was my inspiration

To love you with the sweetest of devotion.

The bluest sky to the deepest ocean.
Stop for a minute
Baby, Im so glad youre mine, yeah

And just like me Im sure that they adore you.

Go walking through the forest
The birds above a singing you a chorus.

And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that theres just no getting over you.

In any kind of weather

My love for you is true and it will never
Stop for a minute

And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that theres just no getting over you.
And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that theres just no getting over you.

When I think about you it makes me smile.

Tomato
My love is a tiny red cherry tomato
That has found it's way into my heart by way of,
'An omelette'
'A cheese sandwhich'
A kittenish quiche
A side salad, that slid in through the side entrance
A tiny glistening punnet that flirted with the light
A drink carton full of bloody juice
A red nose that passed itself off as a tomato
A tin of Italian agraphobic plum tomatoes
A pizza
A pie
A spicy tomato pasta
A bed of floating tomatoes in a home made punch
A seed which grew secretly from my garden bed
Into a vine
Ready to pick
This tomato love is mine
It also came into my heart by way of
A tin of soup
A bottle of ketchup
And alot of sauce
My love is born
Not yet filing for divorce

Just Cant Stay Away
Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Here I am baby, right back in your arms, yeah
What is it bout your love that draws me to you
And though this is not the first time Ive ever wanted to get away, no
Oh, but the magic of your love just would not let me stray
So I find that I just cant stay away from you, baby, (from you) ooh, yeah
You see, I just cant stay away from you
Let me tell you Ive been through a lot of changes
You see, my momma scorned me and my closest friends
Oh lord, you know they warned me
They said youre no good for me, but I just ignored it
Yes I did, cause I didnt have time, no time to sit around and decide what to do
You know, when someone controls your mind
Theres not much you can do
So you see thats why I (just cant) just cant stay away (stay away)
Oh, oh (from you) from you, oh baby
Hold me darling, hold (just cant) me darling, I cant stay away from (stay away) you
I dont wanna (from you) from you
Ive tried and Ive tried, and Ive tried, Ive tried and Ive tried, and Ive tried, baby
(when you come close to me, yeah)
I remember, I can remember somebody said it
They said it many, many, many (when you come close to me, yeah) years ago
That when love gets in your blood, youll find its hard to let go
And oh, I (just cant) baby, I (stay away)
Cant (from you) you see it in my eyes
cause Im wanting you, needing you, ho
Baby, I (just cant) I dont wanna (stay away)
Stay away (from you) from you
From you, you, you, you, you
Its not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me and i
(just cant) thats exactly why I (stay away)
Cant stay away (from you) from you
Oh cause Im wanting you, needing you, loving you
Baby, Im down on my knees, (I just cant) hold me darling
Im (stay away) begging you please, hold me, darling
(from you) cause I just cant stay from you, baby, no, no...

Please take me back speech
Oh baby girl I'm on my knees
Please listen baby to my pleas
My eyes are filled with tears for you
I cannot hate, I thought you knew
To be with you is all I need
To help me through this day I plead
Oh baby baby please dont go
From my lips my love will flow
You are my angel, you're my all
Without you now, I'd stumble and fall
Oh baby please I'm begging you
Just let me love, you are my Boo
My Boo so special sweet and kind
I've left my hatred far behind
I cannot live without your love
A simple thought like hand in glove
Oh baby please dont walk away
Give me a chance, please baby stay
I'm lost without you every day
My life is empty, please baby stay
You are my better half you know
That half I need to make me grow
Please take me back on baby please
I love you so I'm on my knees

Stay With Me
(pagowoy/weiss)
Where did you go
When things went wrong, baby,
And who did you run to,
To find a shoulder
To lay your head upon.
Baby, wasnt I there,
Didnt I take good care of you.
Oh no, I cant believe you leaving me...
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby...
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on...
Who did you touch
When you need tenderness.
I gave so much
And in return I found happiness.
Baby, what did I do
Maybe I was too good, too good for you.
No, no, I cant believe you leaving me.
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby.
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on.
Remember,
You said youre always gonna need me,
Remember,
You said youd never, ever leave me,
Remember, remember, Im asking you, begging you.
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby...
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on, cant go on...
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, stay with me, baby.
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on...

Hold On To My Heart
Whenever you need me, I would be there
Lookin over your shoulder, you know that I care
But still you walked away
And I could never seem to find the words, the words to make you stay, so baby
Chorus:
Hold on to my, hold on to my heart - when it feels like its fading
Hold on to my, hold on to my heart - you know Ill be waiting
All this crazyness, it keeps us apart
So hold on to my heart
Whatever you told me, I would believe
And over and over, I had my heart on my sleeve
And I gotta let you know
That no matter where you are tonight, I could never let you go, so baby

Never a day goes by without your memory
Oh yeah, I can still picture us, baby, you and me

Please Hold On
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Ive heard the same old story
So many times
For every lie youve told me
Id be a righ man if I had a dime
Why do you take me
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold
The lads constant cruisin
Expains the tears
The lonely path shes choosin
If I didnt love her would I still be here
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, dont you leave me behind
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Soft lights and quiet music
Forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, dont you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time

Baby Love
(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)
Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Lets do some kissing and making up
Dont throw our love away
In my arms why dont you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love
Baby love, my baby love
Why must we seperate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need
Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Dont throw our love away
Please dont do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After Ive been true to you
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby, ooh til its hurtin me

Ooh, baby love
Dont throw our love away

There Could Never
(phillip damien/mark wilson)
Theres no other, there could never be
Im so in love baby cant you see
Please stay here right next to me
There could never
Be another there could never be
My heart was locked, till you turned the key
And your love has set me free
There could never...
Be another person in this world
Who could make me feel this way
Youre always open and so full of joy
Im trying to find the words to say
Like I love you
I need you in my life
Forever please dont turn away
I need you to stay - always
So baby cant you understand that...
Theres no other, there could never be
Im so in love baby cant you see
Please stay here right next to me
There could never
Be another there could never be
My heart was locked, till you turned the key
And your love has set me free
There could never...
Be a feeling in this heart of mine
That would ever bring you down
Because the love you gave, it made me free
It brought me to this higher ground
Now yes I love you, and I need you, in my life
So please dont go I want you to stay
So please let me say
I need you - and I want you baby

Going Back To Kindergarten
Wittgenstein
went back to kindergarten
trying to figure out
how a language is learned
to know that language is born
not with a word or two
but in a cluster of sentences
like the birth of a baby
that comes not with spare parts
of hands and legs and toes
but as a whole coming out
from the womb and with a
spank from this world
cries to let you know that
it is alive and has already
some feelings and thoughts
of its own. Like us, we learn
the language of love not on
a piecemeal basis, we know
love when we are accepted
as a whole person, not as
bits and pieces and chunks
and cold cuts, but as tomato
sauce garnished with cheese
and mint and rosemary and
meatballs and salt and pepper.
Wittgenstein went back
to kindergarten
not as a kid but as a philosopher.

Don't Go Down
Her own body outlined in chalk
She had seen
Woke up in shock
She had a dream
Stay with me, baby stay
Don't go down
Don't go down
Stay with me, baby stay
Don't go down
Don't go down
But I knew the sense of worthlessness you have to rise above
I fought him off with my love
Called himself commander-in-chief
And her dad
Her mother called me a thief
Stay with me, baby stay
Don't go down
Don't go down
We can spend eternity
And I said I'll find a better place
Come on and move in with me
And I got her to
And as cracked as the Liberty Bell
She was hard
Snowball in hell
I met a girl
I split the scene
The globe had been spun
And her ghost leaned down to kiss me
With a message from the sun
Don't go down
Don't go down
Stay with me, baby stay
Don't go down
Stay with me, baby stay
Don't go down
Stay with me, baby stay

If You Love Me
(words & music by j. rostill)
You came when i was happy in your sunshine
I grew to love you more each passing day
Before too long i'd filled my world around you
Yeah and i prayed you loved enough of me to stay
If you love me let me know
If you don't let me go
I can't take another minute of the day without you near
If you love me let it be
If you don't set me free
Take the chains away that keep me loving you
The arms that open wide to hold me closer
The hands that run their fingers through my hair
The smile that says hello it's good to see you
Any time i turn around and find you there
It's this and so much more that makes me love you
What else can i do to make you see
You know you'll have whatever's mine to give you
Yeah but a love affair for one it can never be
If you love me let me know
If you don't let me go
I can't take another minute of the day without you near
If you love me let it be
If you don't set me free
Take the chains away that keep me loving you
Take the chains away that keep me loving you

Wait til I get you alone
Wait til I get my hands on you
Wait til I get you home sweet baby

To places where Ive never been before
Well honey Ive got a feelin
Well make some shadows on the ceilin
Tonight by candlelight behind closed doors
