CocoRosie - Haitian Love Songs Lyrics
[Interpretation of early black and white Haitian love songs]
Oceans wept
Moutains slept
Sidewalks crumbled to ash
In children's lullabies
And your eyes forever in the sky
Pull me close
Dear I'm tremblin'
Hold me tight
I'm afraid ot the night
Blackness fills the room
Your love, it burns bright
Remind me of your kiss
Soft and warm
I never want to leave this
I never wanted to 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
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
To be a star
Tossing light
To sparkle in your eyes
I'd become an angel
And kiss this earth goodbye
Destiny
Used to be
Just a word to me
But heaven sure was right
When they said Jesus left somethin' behind
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
Your eyes appear
In every one of my dreams
They glitter and they gleam
Like the first time we meet
The chickens, they crowed
And I knowed you're home
Oh, my spirit ran to greet you
Before my feet left the porch

Non Phixion wants to talk to the Clinton Foundation.
If they weren't speaking in metaphors, i'd convert to Christianity due to these beautiful sirens.
Well, mainly because I have anonymity, am drumk, and thus possess no fear of being called a wuss, to my face. I gotta say that I fucking love this song to the bottom of my heart, peace, love, pleasure, and human brotherhood until the end of time!
They have changed so much from 2004-2012,yet are just as beautiful
love you Bianca and Sierra :)
