Casa de Cambio

Mexico the turbulent, your serpent lies awake
Your eagle flies thru darkling skies while all your people sleep.
I could cry for them or I guess I just don't know
Here I stand in a foreign land at the Casa de Cambio.
These star crossed lovers sat side by side drinking in the moonlight.
They held hands while she made plans she was waiting for him to die.
Mexico the remnant within your bosom lies;
your mountains smoke, your temples broken
and all your warriors weep.
I could cry with them or I guess I just donʼt know
Here I stand with my change in hand at the Casa de Cambio.
These star crossed lovers sat side by side drinking in the moonlight,
the old man and the young woman. While she was waiting for him to die.
Mexico, the triumphant are waiting in the deep
You're waiting for your savior man to shake you from your sleep.
Oh, I could wait for him or I guess i just don't know.
Here I stand with my change in hand at the Casa de Cambio.
These star crossed lovers sat side by side
they were drinking in the moonlight.
the old man and the young woman
she was waiting on him to die.
She had a plan for the gringo man
way down in Mexico x2
way down in Mexico.

Every day we keep on getting little closer.
we keep on climbin into the sky on the wings of the eagle.
Job had a job he didn’t like it so he wailed.
But He keep on climbin’ higher and higher on Jacob’s ladder.
Adam met Eve under that tree in the garden.
There wasn’t a sound as the fruitful came down to the water
And the water came down and covered the ground
up to the mountain, so they built a boat and hope made it float….
Chorus
from the fryin' pan to the fire. From the fryin' pan to the fire.
How long oh lord, how long does it take?
Seems like we been waiting so long.
How long oh lord, how long does it take
please don’t let us do no more wrong.
The city reborn, the mountains are torn down to the sea.
The lines that they laid, the games that they played can be seen.
Who’s gonna win and get past the sin of all this killin?
One was a man and he couldn’t stand all the others.

Door of Everything
04:27

Bring me your bouquet all colorful and radiant
for I had lost my way deep inside this loneliness
but I am not afraid.
I can let Your empty room be part of me.
Bring me some delight that speaks in joyful eloquence
for I been too estranged life is for the innocent,
but I am not ashamed.
I can let Your elegance be part of me.
Won’t you take me out tonight we’ll roll in waves of holiness
for I have had my fill, we’ll roll out in the fields
we’ll roll out in the deep green grass and roll that rock away
from the door of everything.
Come to me today
chances are the birds will sing
but oh what does it mean?
I can give You everything
cause now now it’s time to trade.
I can let this renaissance be part of me
I can let this renaissance be part of me.

Adam
03:57

He wandered alone all thru time looking to find.
Watching & waiting, dead in the waters
of earthly design.
Deep in his heart he was not forsaken.
Seeking and searching his body
was aching for something divine.
Caught up by choosing, lost in confusion
but never denying. Deep in his spirit
he knows he was chosen.
He called out alone
all thru creation looking for her.
She is his vision, soothing his senses
thru curses and lies. Deep in his marrow
he knew she was waiting.
At last the reunion
standing besides her,
when the dust meets Your glory
love takes us higher
Love takes us were we want to go.
Angels are singing at the wedding
consuming the last of his cries.
Naming the creatures, dancing beside her
rapture and wine. Deep in the night
now she is taken.

Marfa Lights
03:57

I was leaving Marfa when I saw the lights
coming oe'r the mountains in the purple desert night
desire burned within me in answer to the sight,
so I pulled on over on highway 99.
The lights they kept on coming, a message from the sky
Indians and pilgrims like ghostly ships pass by.
No-one seems to know them these desert shooting stars
so I pulled on over and watched them in my car.
What are these lights?
Balmorhea won't say.
What are these lights?
Chisos don't know…..
Heading back to Texas to see lights of Marfa
going back where I belong to see the Marfa Lights.
I left out of Marfa, headed to the east,
following a star map looking for the King.
the road was long and empty, a sandy soul surprise,
so I pulled on my ray-bans and headed to the right.
Left in contemplation of things that I had seen,
motor car elation paintings of the queen
Lights and mighty cactus all bowing to the Son,
so I kept on going down highway Mazatlan.
What are these lights? Balmorhea won't say. Heading back to Texas to see lights of Marfa
What are these lights? Chisos don't know. Heading back to Texas to see lights of Marfa

River Everclear
03:15

I could write a drinkin' song, but I have gone sober.
Or I could write a cheatin' song, but I ain’t got no lover.
So you won’t find me in a bar, cryin' in my beer
you will find me on the banks of River Everclear.
Flowing from a hallowed ground deep inside our minds,
we can find our destiny here by this riverside.
You won’t find me in a car all speeding down the road.
No! you will find me on the shore I'll watch the river roll. Roll on by,
passing me by...
The river keeps on rollin’ yesterday is gone,
the river keeps on coming down from high up in the clouds. :ll
I could write a leavin' song,
but I think I’m gonna stay.
I could be writin all them grievin' songs,
but he just won’t go away.
Ch and outro:
You won’t find me on the run
with some heavy load-
no you will find on the shore
and watch the river roll.
No you won’t find me on the run
from 7 deadly fears-
you will find me on the banks of
River Everclear x 3
(4 on the floor the last time)

Seeds of Abraham

Seeds of Abraham, you hold them in your hands
scattered to the land, return unto the lamb.
Take this mustard seed and throw it to the breeze
now walk upon the sea, i am just what i'll be.
Seeds that tell a story, the hand fits in the glove,
seeds that grow to glory, when planted in your love
Father holy man, your books are in our hands,
your words are in the sand beneath the promise land.
So take your Prophet's oil, now dig beneath the soil,
for that which shall not spoil, shepherd kings so royal.
Seeds that tell a story, the hand fits in the glove.
Seeds that grow to glory, when planted in your love
Seeds of Abraham, you hold them in your hands
gather to the land, return unto the lamb.

Prodigal Daughter
04:06

|
She came into town, she was lookin’ for a solution.
She came into her own she was livin’ on her restitution.
Then she went down, down, down into the water
and when she came up she had the sign of the Prodigal Daughter
She came into this life screamin’ and howlin’ at the moon
she fell into love but she was singin’ it all out of tune...
We didn’t see it coming, it took longer than it seemed.
We listen to immortals when they're louder than our dreams
We didn’t hear that drumbeat - much to our surprise
The ones who came to get us - had fire in their eyes.
She rode out of town heading into the west
Going to follow the sunset, going back to her rest.

A Song for jacob

Windy Weather lightning rides
feeling all the storms inside
then He said, take my hand and I will give you the master plan.
Love Love Love is what you need
come to me it's guaranteed
Love Love Love is here to stay
take my hand, I am the way.
Children smile and gather here
blessings for the mother's tears
then He said hear my word and you will see the hummingbird.
No one here sees past this veil
seen now darkly, vision pale
then he said, my Father sees- put down your yoke and follow me
Love Love Love is what you need come to me it's guaranteed
Love Love Love is here to stay take my hand.
Love Love Love is what you need come to me it's guaranteed
Love Love Love is here to stay, take my hand, I am the way

Fire Walker
copyright 1995 jerialice
Firelight, take me dancing
turn me into ashes
falling down melting down.
Firelight, take me prancing
shadow of the shadow,
now the sparks are weaving
visions of tomorrow
without a sound.
Tumble into canyons
bubble from the ground
I am your companion
take me down, take me down
Walking on the fire
now I am the flame,
walking on the water
marching with the Saints.
Firelight take me spinning
shower me with embers
of pagan kings and phoenix things.
Firelight be the answer
dancing round the pyre,
now the sparks are weaving
glimmers in the shadow
of angel wings
so feathery.
