BOUNTY HUNTER REDS
by Izanah JonesLet me take you where the cool breeze blow So high, so far from shore Let me take you where the cool breeze blow So high, so high, so high
High on a hill far from the seashore I sit and watch the full moon glow The fog a come, it a look like snow Up a bamboo where the cool breeze blow
And in the morning the sunshine flow The farmers wake and go to bush and grow Yam, cabbage, potato, chocho, coco and okra
Me love to go where the cool breeze blow Up a bamboo where the sunshine flow Me love fer go where the cool breeze blows Up a bamboo where the sunshine flow
Police and guard dem a drive around Sight my brother, attack him like a blood hound Beat him, kick him, throw him on the ground Take him money, all that could be found Grab him gold chain, shot him on the ground
Dem stand for justice with dem dirty tricks Dem say they tried to do righteousness All I know, my brother is dead The Babylon boy gone shot him in de head
Babylon, where you get your gun from? Put me brother under brutalization When him weak, you say that him strong When him right, you say that him wrong Babylon, where you get your gun from?
We must stand firm against brutality Not be deceived by hypocrisy Dem may pluck a branch from our tree Yet we still stand rooted in reality
Truth and culture belong to we Dem can't take dat out of me Reds always in our memory Nuff love for him by everybody
Almighty father bless this land Guide and protect with Almighty hand Keep us far from evil power And be our guide through countless hour
TwoRAINDANCERS
by Izanah JonesLet's go back to where we come from
We are dancers in the rain
Let's go back to where we come from
We are dancers in the rainCan we turn back the hands of time?
And take a walk, a walk behind the stars
Under the moonlight you and me
Dancing by the seaWe are spirits, spirits of light
Let's come together and unite
Under the moonlight by the sea
Dancing you and meI hold a very special place for you
I know that you will always
guide me through
Under the moonlight by the sea
Dancing through eternityLet's go back to where we come from
We are dancers in the rain
Let's go back to where we come from
We are dancers in the rain
Let the cool breeze take us there
When the orange moon rises high
More than fragrant memories
We live a feeling that's aliveLet's go back to where we come from
We are dancers in the rain
Let's go back to where we come from
We are dancers in the rainWe will dance over the sea
We will dance into the moonlight
We will dance with the starlight
Through the galaxy you and meLet's go back to where we come from
We are dancers in the rainThreeCAN YOU FALL IN LOVE
by Izanah JonesCan you fall in love With a stranger to your heart? Does the full moon wake you in the dark? Dreams of love, do they let you down? Hopes like people sometimes aren't around
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Do you lie awake at night Wishing you were young? Dreams running away You can't hold back the river of time
Visions of love elude your soul's intent While deep inside dreams of love persist
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
If you're true to yourself, open up your heart The moon shines brighter in the dark The love light is softer in the night Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Visions of love elude your soul's intent While deep inside dreams of love persist
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?
Can you fall in love?FourTHIS TIGHTROPE
by Izanah JonesEvery evening as the sun goes down I sit on my back porch wondering How is it, you don't talk much anymore And when you do you stay behind closed doors
You say one thing and then you do another You say today when you mean tomorrow While I'm crying, you smile Somehow the truth gets lost in lies
Hanging on this tightrope of love
Hanging on this tightrope of love
Hanging on this tightrope of love
Hanging on this tightrope of love
Every evening I'm a circus clown Stepping on this tightrope up and down Sometimes I just don't get it right Swaying to the left, then to the right Looking down full of fright Somehow something doesn't feel right
Hanging on this tightrope of love Hanging on this tightrope of love Hanging on this tightrope of love Hanging on this tightrope of love
How can love slip by so mystically First you have it only to get down on your knees And pray and pray And pray and pray
Hanging on this tightrope of love Hanging on this tightrope of love Hanging on this tightrope of love Hanging on this tightrope of love
FiveI SAW A RAVEN
by Izanah JonesI saw a raven fly across the sky
And I had to wonder why life can be unkind
Motions swirling in and out of my mind
When will this whirlwind unwind?
The way you draw so close to me
Then drift away so silently
Your eyes deceived me
With their charm for awhile
Until I realized you were never genuine
What is this?
Only the memories of a dream
That could never manifest
And through the darkness and the pain
I ask you, "What remains?"
If you could let me be
Without questioning why
Then I could be so free
Like the raven that flew across my eyes
I saw a raven fly across my eyes
And I had to wonder why life can be unkind
I saw a raven fly across my eyes
And I had to ask myself the reason why
If you could let me be
Without questioning why
Then I could be so free
Like the raven that flew across my eyes
Motions swirling in and out of my mind
When will this whirlwind unwind?
The way you draw so close to me
Then drift away so silently
And what is this?
Only the memories of a dream
That could never manifest
And through the darkness and the pain
I ask you, "What remains?"
If you could let me be
Without questioning why
Then I could be so free
Like the raven that flew across my eyes
I saw a raven fly across the sky
And I had to wonder why life can be unkind
I saw a raven fly across the sky
And I had to ask myself the reason whySixIZANAH'S SONG
by Izanah JonesHow many seasons will it take
How many years must I wait
To see you, once again
To touch you, once again
I could wait a lifetime here
Waiting for your sweet, sweet vibration
Strictly irie iration
You are east, I am west
Still I know we've tried our best
Jah know, we've really tried
Our love, it will survive
So many years have passed
Since I wrote this song
And still my love for you holds strong
Jah know, I'm still searching for a love like ours
Jah know, I'm searching in vain all those years
So many places, so many faces
And I just can't find another love like ours
Don't know why we live separate lives
When I need your smile to stay alive
Something real, something I can feel
Straight to the heart, that's our love
Real from the start, our love
No matter where you are,
No matter what they say
No one can take away
Our love, holding strong
Our love, all my life long
Our loveSevenBUTTERFLIES OR BLUE SKIES
by Izanah JonesThought there were windows behind the door
But when I reached, there weren't any more
Butterflies or blue skies, blue skies
No more butterflies or blue skies
Angels can't live in captivity
Overcome, overstand how to be free
We're not walking down
no one way street
No, no we're not walking down
no one way street
Angel of light, you gave I sight
At the final end your brightness
conquered I
And showed me how to be free
Nuff respect, eternally
How can you fool another
When you're only fooling yourself?
And if you try and run away
You betray your own heart
Your own heart
You've got to be true to yourself
Or you'll never be true to anyone else
You've got to be true to yourself
Or you'll never be true to anyone else
No no no, not to anyone else
You've got to be true to yourself
Or you'll never be true to anyone else
You've got to be true to yourself
Or you'll never be true to anyone else
No no no, not to anyone else
How can you stand up for others
And not stand up for yourself?
How can you know a next man's heart
And hardly know yourself?
You've got to be true to yourself
Or you'll never be true to anyone else
You've got to be true to yourself
Or you'll never be true to anyone else
No no no, not to anyone else
You've got to be true to yourself
Or you'll never be true to anyone else
You've got to be true to yourself
Or you'll never be true to anyone elseEightSAND CASTLES BY THE SEA
by Izanah JonesCan’t go on living in
Castles made of sand
Pretending that I could be your woman
I ain’t the one for you
You ain’t the man for me
Can we let go, set ourselves free?
Holding onto empty dreams
Living lies with broken wings
Searching in strife
For what could only seem
Holding onto empty dreams
Living lies with broken wings
Searching in strife
For what could only seem
A merry go round and round
Let me get off
Get my feet on the ground
Break free, grab a piece of my life
One thing I know
It ain’t easy to be free
There are spiritual forces
Left unseen
But now that I’ve left you
I feel so all alone
Deeper into blue
Left out in the cold
But there ain’t no going back
To castles made of sand
False hopes based on fantasies
Paper lives, worn out dreams
Yet still I ponder you
And all that could seem
Round and round like a merry go round
Round and round I get my feet off the ground
Round and round, round and round
Break free break free
But now that I’ve left you
I feel so all alone
Deeper into blue
Left out in the cold
But there ain’t no going back
To castles made of sand
Pretending that I could be your woman
I ain’t the one for you
You ain’t the man for me
Can we let go, set ourselves free?
Castles made of sand wash into the sea
Castles made of sand wash into the sea
Castles made of sand wash into the sea
Castles made of sand wash into the seaNineBITTER FOR YOU
By Izanah JonesYou don't treat me like your woman
(Oh no you don't)
You don't treat me like you care
You don't treat me like you love me
So where, where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
I'm on the other side of town
Waiting for you to come around
I've got better things to do
Than hang around for you
(why wait for you)
You use me then abuse me
Accuse me then refuse me
You take what you want
Are you ever gonna stop?
Are you ever gonna stop?
I can't stand it
When I'm with you
But when we're apart
I suffer a broken heart
Will this pain ever subside
Your way of loving me
I can't abide
Will you learn to love me again?
The way you used to
When I was your woman
To the bitter end
To the bitter end
To the bitter end
To the bitter endTenWhere Can We Begin
by Izanah JonesStanding by the edge of the road
Gazing at the starlit sky
Wondering, where are you tonight?
The cold wind blows through my hair
The four wheels pass on by
I'm hoping to catch a ride
The winds of change
Are blowing through my life
I feel so lost beneath this
endless desert sky
The winds of change
Are blowing through my life
I feel so lost beneath this
endless desert sky
The time is short
The road is long
I've got to get to you
Before you're gone
I don't know where I'm gonna sleep tonight
All I know is that I want you by my side
I long to see you in the morning light
And wake up knowing everything is right
Never ever will I part from you again
If you'll have me back, where can we
begin?
Never ever will I leave you again
I want you back, where can we begin?
The time is short
The road is long
I've got to get to you
Before you're gone
