Black Candles
Written by: Kae SunOn the corner where little Nathan got swept away
we lit black candles, people stood in a circle;
They had pictures , him with his kinfolk;
I read every line of his poetry.
On that street I couldn’t gather my thoughts at all;
Can’t say I felt sorry, yet sorrow shook my concrete walls
Now is he gone for good? We lay him down way too deep;
I’m hearing echoes of his favorite song, I hear it in my sleep.
How can we grow old, when we burning slow
Can we grow old when we burning slow
These friends of mine, they never read the signs
I say they going the wrong way;
They had me accused, they say I take myths to be true
when I say theres only one way;
And when bloodstained hands leave death marks on your pages
when you got no new leaf to turn over, turn over, turn over
How can we grow old, when we burning slow
Can we grow old, when we burning slow
Can we grow old, when we burning slow
On the corner watching our future drift away
we lit black candles, we lit black candles.
Blow at the stars
Written by: Kae SunAre you hearing those voices singing to inspire?
They say heartache like this cannot be justified,
And a man without a shadow is a man without a conscience,
everything he touches he wishes to own. Don’t you know the
Lord’s ways, they’re never my ways, He’s numbered my days with his hidden
hand, and we will see what love brings when finally love reigns over you and I
but honey until then again
Won’t you blow at the stars and make them shine a little brighter, if at all
possible thats all I need. Blow at the stars and carry me over as the nights grow colder
thats all I need.
These lessons that I learned, I wrote them on my heart and once I took that step forward believe I
never looked back. If only I knew, everything that time knows, revealing my hidden motives, I’m
taking my daily doses of reality , I throw them in my song and my prayer is to do you know wrong baby as long,
As you blow at the stars and make them shine a little brighter, if at all possible thats all I need
blow at the stars and carry me over as the nights grow colder, thats all I need.
Burden Of Love
Soft as a heartbeat or a whisper, light as the rain.
You got me sinking now the city will fade.
I’m on fire in an ice box, fire in an ice box;
Been running 20 long years but I’ve only come three blocks.
Now that I’m crossing that old river.
Just to get the stains off of my soul.
Heaviest load I ever shed darling,
my cargo is the burden of love.
Soft as a heartbeat or a whisper, light as the rain.
You got me sinking now the city, fades.
I’m I headed for a roadblock, I’m headed for a roadblock?
I’m running so fast, I can hardly stop;
Now that I’m crossing that old river.
Just to get the stains off of my soul.
Heaviest load I ever shed darling;
My cargo is the burden of love.
Running so fast, Running non-stop.
I’m running so fast, My cargo is the burden of love.
