Cotton Growing Man
Sitting in your chair
You think you're a winner
You don't have a care
All you do is sit and drink all day
Yes you don't do nothing
Cotton Growing Man

Cotton Growing Man
Drink away your sin
Forget all the slavery
It got lost in gin
All you do is sit and drink all day
Yes you don't do nothing
Cotton Growing Man

You got all the cotton that you need
You got all the money with your greed

You got all the cotton that you need
You got all the money with your greed

Cotton Growing Man
Pass away your time
Forget all your troubles
Drown them deep in wine
All you do is sit and drink all day
Yes you don't do nothing
Cotton Growing Man

Daylight brings out the good in me
Night-time casts its spell
Am I still the stranger
Who runs hopin' to find something
That blinds me
Confines me each day

I'm as old as I was born
Livin' is my only thorn
It binds me confines me

Somewhere back in memories
Lifelines linger on
I can feel my spirit
It cries throw the lives behind
That guide me
To realise each day

I'm as old as I was born
Living is my only thorn
It binds me confines me

I can feel my spirit
Crying through the years
Behind that guide me
Deep inside me each day
I'm as old as I was born
Living is my only thorn
It binds me confines me

I'm as old as I was born

As he waved goodbye
I could feel him sigh
Then he faded away
As the light of day began to dazzle my eyes
As he left me
I cried brother, where are you going to
From his fading breath
I could barely hear him saying to me

Your time is coming
You'll hear the sound
My time is this time around
Your time is coming
You'll hear the sound
My time is this time around

In the sunrise through the morning haze
As the daylight came
I could see his face before me
Like a silhouette of light
I cried brother, where have you gone to
Them somewhere in my mind
I could feel him saying to me

Your time is coming
You'll hear the sound
My time is this time around
Your time is coming
You'll hear the sound
My time is this time around

I cried brother, where have you gone to
Them somewhere in my mind
I could feel him saying to me

Your time is coming
You'll hear the sound
My time is this time around
Your time is coming
You'll hear the sound
My time is this time around

Holy water wash away my sin
I don't think I can begin
To amend my life
I'm too late

Holy water river full of light
Spirit of the day and night
I have seen my life
I have seen my life

Drifting astray

There's not much time
It's late in the day
My body and mind
Are fading away

Holy water
I'm a flower in the night
Fading in the morning light
Bring me truth today
Purify my spirit
Wash my sins away
Show me the way
Wash my sins away
Show me the way

Wildfire is in my mind
My desire is waiting to unwind
I finally found what I've been looking for
Threw away the chains that bound my heart
Since I met you
You opened the door
Yes you gave me a brand new start

Wildfire is in my mind
My desire is waiting to unwind
Wildfire burning in my mind

Craziness took me by suprise
But I feel I got the world in my hand
Happiness look me in the eyes
No use but you can understand

Wildfire is in my mind
My desire is waiting to unwind
Wildfire burning in my mind

If there's any justice in the world
Then there's something I've got to say
For all the fools who fend for themselves
For you it's dying day
I've been done out of my money and wealth
And I'm sitting on square one
Trying to get my head together
Waiting for the sun

I tried so hard to win
Sometimes I'd gamble my own life
And anyone who crossed my path
Would never cross it twice
I'd take until there was nothing left
But the odds turned on me
Now I'm down and out again
Deep in misery

I've been a self-seeking man
Self-seeking man
Self-seeking man
Who lived for himself
Who wound up the fool
And got nothing for it

I've been done out of my money and wealth
And I'm sitting on square one
Trying to get my head together
Waiting for the sun

I've been a self-seeking man
Self-seeking man
Self-seeking man
Who lived for himself
Who wound up the fool
And got nothing for it

Jones-Wright

Times have changed,
It's plain to see
Things just aren't like they used to be
Blink your eyes
and life may pass you by
Too much happening to wonder why.

The past has gone
and future's come
Like a stranger at your door
Yet all the people carry on
Their ways of living
And the sins they left behind
All seem forgiven.

Times have changed
It's plain to see
Things just aren't like they used to be
Never ending changes near and far
Makes you wonder really who you are
They've changed it all
We're not so small
Like we used to be.
Yesterday the future was a dream
Now that dream is just a passing thing
Your spirit cries you must realise (sic)
There are greater things to come
All the people carry on their ways of living
And the sins left behind
All seem forgiven.

Moriah princess of the water
Where do you go where do you come from
My mother she told me
You cry in the night till you wake the sun

Moriah princess of the valley
Go where you please always on the run
You blow past my doorstep
Sweeping the hills till the day is done
Spirit of the open sky
I can hear you cry

Moriah wild and so free
Moriah how I long to be a little like you
Sometimes Moriah

Moriah spirit of the open sky
Open my mind to the change that's got to come
I've been waiting to join you
You and I are together one
Spirit of the open sky
I can hear you cry

Moriah wild and so free
Moriah how I long to be a little like you
Sometimes Moriah.
