Just Another Dream

 

 

 

 

Verse 1:
One more line slipped down a highway, another 100 miles
Another place that I forgot and out there the night
He lifts me high and shares a smile and when the world’s asleep
I feel his love inside of me in Just Another Dream
Refrain:
Why can’t I understand when I look beyond this place
To see another ocean’s end and reach across that space
I’d look inside myself and search till I could scream
Because I know I’ll find him there in Just Another Dream

 

Verse 2:
One more west coast ocean sunrise, silence I explode
Daylight swims in with the tide and out there he knows
Another week fades quietly and as I lay asleep
I feel his love inside of me in Just Another Dream
Refrain:
Why can’t I understand when I look beyond this place
To see another ocean’s end and reach across that space
I’d look inside myself and search till I could scream
Because I know I’ll find him there in Just Another Dream
(SOLO…)

 

Verse 3:
One more stop along the coast, a vision that I see
Roll the top down on my car and head on home back east, yeah yeah
All along I knew that he was Just Another Dream
Ooooooo!

Bonnie Town

 

 

 

 

 

Background Story:

’Bonnie Town’ came to me in a dream, literally, a few days after my mom – my best friend – passed away in the summer of 2005. In the dream, she was telephoning me to tell me that she was on a bus that was traveling around the country picking up all the people who had just died. Her voice was as clear as a bell. When I asked her where they were going, she said, ‘Why, we’re going to Bonnie Town, Cutie!’ She sounded so very happy and when I awoke I was momentarily lifted out of my grief.

 

Verse 1:
In Bonnie Town there is a man named Ed
Who can balance anything upon his head
In Bonnie Town from time to time
Everything that you say seems to somehow rhyme
In Bonnie Town you fly, and no one ever dies
All the stores sell everything for free
The weather’s fine and fair, and men don’t lose their hair
Women always fit into their jeans

 

Verse 2:
Bonnie Town has a village park
Where colored lanterns light up in the dark
Bonnie Town grannies sit and chat
With apple pie and a sleepy cat in every lap
The cars all run on air, and no one will despair
If you choose to wear your clothing inside out
The old men tip their hats, this is this and that is that
And farmers play Canasta with their cows
So come along with me right now
To my Bonnie Town!

 

Verse 3: (SOLO on first part)
In Bonnie Town you share, and Jesus is the mayor
Buddha leads the choir when we pray
There’s never any wait, and Allah’s praise is great
A Menorah at ev’ry door along the way
In Bonnie Town there is no fear, and money’s useless here
Someone gets a kiss on every hour
If you’re poor, well no one cares
Won’t you let me take you there?
We’ll live beneath a rooftop made of flowers
And what is yours and what is mine will now be ours
In Bonnie Town!
Come along with me right now
To Bonnie Town!
My Bonnie Town!
My Bonnie Town!

Black Girls

 

 

 

 

Verse 1:
Mid-afternoon he sees them walk by
Afro’d hair and big brown eyes
Black Girls are walking home from school
Passing by the white boys shooting pool
Hook:
Black Girls, walking home from school
Black Girls, in white blouses keeping cool
Black Girls, to Sunday church they go
Black Girls, their baby sisters in tow

 

Verse 2:
He hangs with the brothers talking their jive
Playing that music he feels so alive
Black Girls are dancing, they move so nice
While the white boys watch from the shadows
The year is nineteen-seven-five
He takes a Black Girl for his bride
Sometimes it’s a groove, sometimes it’s hell
Their daughter’s skin is caramel

 

Hook 1:
Black Girls, walking home from school
Black Girls, in white blouses keeping cool
Black Girls, to Sunday church they go
Black Girls, their baby sisters in tow
Bridge:
Well I’m watching you watching me, when I walk on by I see
The way that you stare and your straight blond hair
My mama cleans for your mama, Daddy mows your lawn
I know what you dream at night ‘coz I got what you want

 

Hook 2:
Yeah that’s right, walking home from school
Black Girls, in white blouses keeping cool
Black Girls, to Sunday church they go
Black Girls, their baby sisters in tow
(SOLO…)

 

Verse 3:
Mid-afternoon and she’ll work late
Tomorrow she will go and litigate for a white girl
Who complains that her husband beats her silly
So she pours more coffee, stirs it well
Which like her skin is caramel
Looks out her window in time to see
Black Girls walking home at three

 

Hook 3:
Black Girls, singing in the choir
Black Girls, waiting tables in the diner
Black Girls, working for their pay
Black Girls, working night and day
Black Girls, walking home from school
Black Girls, in white blouses keeping cool
Black Girls, to Sunday church they go
Black Girls, their baby sisters all in town
