lyrics

Jasmine

Stay here for
Five hours more
Wait until I come
Bearing gifts of sun

I sold my soul for a bit of gold
And now Lord
He’s laughing at my hole
But Lord don’t laugh at me
Oh Lord I’m bleeding
Don’t you see?

And the souls and souls
I write it down
And in the heart
I feel beneath my crown
And your already waiting for
The way that I might fall, might fall, might fall, might fall

O' jasmine, come sweetly
Into my abode
I will await you
In the height
of the summer night

And the car is gone
He took her with him
They lay down side by side
Oh Lord I am not for believing
All that you put inside
In the back of some man’s caravan
In the back of some poor man's...
I’m not, I’m not for leaving
All that, all that, I am, I am
All that, all that, I am, I am
All that, I am, I am
All that, all that, I am, I am

In the back of some man’s caravan
In the summer, in June, I am
Waiting for word from you
To tell me what I should do
For the sight of the cliffs at dawn
Has wakened me from my sleep
And the sound of the waves crashing down
Has taught me how to weep

And the sound of the cradle at dawn
And the moon all silver in her sleep
Has kept me in your thoughts
And I have waited to weep
And I know that the waves crash below
But I sense that I am letting go
Of the fear that has kept me here
Prisoner to all I fear

And the night will hold us tight
And I’ll wait I’ll wait for dawn
For the first ray of sunlight
To put to bed the night
For the first ray of sunlight
To put to bed the night
