Girl

Girl, don’t wish your life away
It’s a do-round, got nothing but today
Just know that you belong
And the moment’s here to stay
Don’t get lost in yesterday
Tomorrow's just a day away
There with your head in your hands
Come on darlin'
You’ve got the world in your sights
And I know life is unfair
Doesn’t care let your hair down
And I’ll be by your side
There with your heart on your sleeve, darlin’
You got the love got the light
And I know life is unkind
Love was blind not to find you
But we got enough tonight
There with your feet on the ground, Angel
Facing the long road ahead
And I know life is unjust
Rise above, don’t give up
In time, change is gunna’ come
And I’ve been waiting on a day
That you will know
Don’t need nothing but your heart
To keep you whole
Sometimes we lose a little faith
But this I know
That nothing, no one, no one
(Got wisdom like my girl)

Preacher Man
03:03
|

I met a preacher man
And he said
There ain’t no soul
Without a gift
Oh this preacher man
What he told
Everybody standing on the edge of a cliff
This preacher man (what he say)
This preacher said (don’t play it safe)
This preacher man (take a chance)
This preacher said (you gotta jump)
Just once
Jump for your life
You weren’t made to work nine to five
What the lord gave you
Pray that it saves you
Stand up jump for your life
I met a preacher man
And he said
There’ll be no soar
Without a risk
Oh this preacher man
He did ask
Are you gunna’ fold stick or twist

More Than You Give Me
02:52
|
|
||
|
Blinded for the love of you
Held within your grasp
Living out your past
Excusing all the things you do
Though I’m not whole without you
I’m the better half
Now I’ve found
Another lover under cover
I can see you’re taking
So much more than you give me
More than you give me
More than you give me
I’m in need of something
So much more than you give me
My other
He's the yin to your yang
Yeah he got that thing
You were more like a brother
Couldn't get me high
Too busy smokin' on your own supply
More than you give me
More than you give me
You’ve been taking from me
So much more than you give me
More than you give me
Found a lover undercover
And he gives me so much more
Than you give me
More than you give me
More than you give me
I’m in need of something
So much more than you give me
More than you give me
Hope you can forgive me babe
But I’m in need of something
So much more than you give me

Heaven Knows
05:23
|
|
||
|
Dreams fly high, butterflies
In the sky, I’m alive
In the night, oh tonight
Open yours into my arms
Into your heart
And when the dreams delay
Contemplate, undo your victim
And finally, come and stay
Down ‘til you’re with me
I’m in the light, to the night
Unto your reckless heart
These days
Days are so long
I tell myself
Contemplate, don’t you wait
Armed in your feelings
Better days, come in ways
Into your breathing
Hesitate, don’t delay
Remember your beating heart
And when the dreams escape
Contemplate, undo your victim
And finally, come and stay
Down ‘til you’re with me
I’m in the light, to the night
Unto your reckless heart
These days
Days are so long
I tell myself
That heaven knows, heaven knows
Truly, hand on your heart
If you’re losing
Heaven I’m part of your bruising
Build again and start amour
If you’re losing
Put your hand on your heart
I know that heaven knows
That only heaven knows
Said I found that heaven knows

Flashlights
03:14
|
|
||
|
Flashlights, taking me to the light
Taking me under
Cars break over and undertake
Racing with thunder
But it feels like
We could be free
Like we’re on the run
Shooting in real time
There’s no need for flashlights
And I know just the parts
We can be postcards
We can be letters
Writing each other
Like wine we’ll get better
We can be wise guys
Show me your wild side
We can be holy
We can be kind
We can be movie stars
‘Cos we are two
Baby lets make it through
We can be free like days in the river
Eyes closed, don’t ya hide those
Shooting in real time
There’s no need for flashlights
When it feels like we’re going nowhere
But we’ve just begun

Trouble
03:00
|
|
||
|
Go all the way down to
Broken-hearted lane
And take a left at the crossroads
Or you might go insane
And mind your step when you’re walking
Out in the rain
You never know when trouble's
Gunna’ come your way
And cross that bridge when you come to it
Don’t you prepare
Could risk it all on a feeling
And gain the world if you dare
Could make a path where others fail to tread
Or choose the wrong place, wrong time
And you might end up dead
You never know when trouble‘s
Gunna’ come your way
So don’t you run scared
Better be prepared in your hiding place
You could feel lost in crowded place
Where no one knows your name
Or feel tired, uninspired with your fame
You could feel cold in a heatwave
With nothing left to say
Or wash your face and hands
And make new plans for a brighter day
You’re in trouble
You better be prepared in your hiding place
Trouble’s gunna’ come your way
You never know when trouble’s
Gunna’ come for you
You might be upbeat
Word is on the street that you’re done for
You never know when trouble’s
Gunna' hunt you down
You might give a good fight
Take down the night but you loose the round

Fool's Fate
04:10
|
|
||
|
Arms are open wide
And I see you, I raise you
In uncertain light
I hold to, inside you
Palms elope at night
To feel and to fold you
Feuds aboard the tide
And rise rise rise
‘Cos this ain’t love
Love’s in your heart
It’s in vain love
No this ain’t love
Love’s in your heart
It’s in vain love
Too late
I could write a record on my heartache
It ain’t gunna’ make it better
It’s a fool's fate
It’s a fool's fate
Oh, oh, too late
You ain’t gunna make it better
All your mistakes
Take your fucking letter it’s a fool’s fate
You’ve been testing my patience
Got my pride, all in the making
No moves, none for the game win
For too long, you’ve been short-changing
It’s all gone, none for the taking
Your words, words don’t need wasting
And I will let you walk on
‘Cos now it’s better your gone

Will I See You Again
05:12
|
|

Yesterday was cold
And I was missing you baby
When I’m alone, wonderin'
Will I see you again
Oh yeah
Out here alone
And I’ve been missing you baby
When I’m alone, wonderin'
Will I see you again
Baby, baby, baby
I can’t sleep when I’m alone
Baby, baby, baby
Won’t you please come home
‘Cos I’ve been missing you darlin'
Since you’ve been gone
Lately I’ve come to thinking
Maybe baby, you’re the one
Oh I’ve been missing you darlin'
Will I see you again
Aaah will I, will I see you again
‘Cos I’ll be giving you all that I got
Giving you more, than a lot
If I see you again
Yeah, I’ll be giving you all that a got
Giving you more, than a lot
If I see you again
‘Cos I missing you darlin'
Oh, I missing you darlin'
Oh, I missing you darlin'
Oh, I missing you darlin'
And yesterday was cold
And I was missing you darlin'
When I’m alone
Oh, if I see you again
‘Cos I’ll be giving you all that I got
Giving you more, than a lot
If I see you again

Darkest city like grace
Like a bitch you know your place
Big wall all up in your face
Working hard for the man
Puts money in your hand
Pocket full of gold
But you sold your soul to the devil
Said you could get to heaven
For a price
Spent the hours of your life
All you got is time
Ain't got nothing but time
Freedom
Oh freedom
Got no money
Got no faith
Oh, change coming

Stay
03:57
|
|
||
|
When the dead end’s on your road
And the heartache’s in your eyes
When the daylight leaves you cold
Why don’t you stay, stay here with me
When the goddess owns your rise
And you’re learning how to fall
When the world, it doesn’t know
Why don’t you stay, stay here with me
Why don’t you stay, stay with me
Why don’t you stay, stay here with me
‘Cos I can feel it in my bones
And it feels like I’m home
When you say, you’ll stay here with me
When it gets so hard to breath
Got you holding on for your life
I could be the one to set you free
Lay with me

Down River
06:48
|
|

|
Go down river
Like a scene from my eyes
Break down the walls are falling
Falling like leaves
Go down river
Like a photograph sealing in time
Breeze passed me by
I’ll never know why
Down river, down stream
Go down river
Over me like a wave
Whispering sweet words
Of nothing in my ear
Carry me on through my daze
Float down river
Taking me by surprises
Look in my eyes
You’ll go down river
Break my river like a path
Into the waking arms of you
Terrified of needing someone
I’m terrified of you
So I’ll float down river alone
Passing your eyes as I go
And I’ll take your promises
And wrap them up
In a neat little package and a bow
While I float down river
Float down river to the sea
Opening waves crashing before me
But I’ll float on by like a bumblebee
Way down by the river
That’s where you’ll find me
Lying softly so softly
No one to worry about me
Take me down, down by the river
Watch me while I swim
Pray for me down by the river
There’s nothing to win
Catch me a fish by the river
Catch me a fish and we’ll eat for days
We can be lazy by the river
Lazy with all our ways
So take me down, down to the river
Take me down to sea
The sea of dreams capturing spirits
I hope you’re waiting for me

My Lover
03:54
|
|
||
|
My lover found me again
What did he want this time
Knocking at my door
And I said no man
You’re not coming in
And he said
I’ve heard it all before
Blue eyes see through me
Unprotected, unassuming
As he moulds my shape
In the shadows of his love
Blue eyes adore me
In the waking of a moment
‘Til I find myself alone
Face down on the floor
My lover,
He knows how to keep me guessing
Power is as power does
And he’s a man
My lover, he renders me restless
Still I wait for binding words
To heal the wounds he tore
Blue eyes see through me
As he moulds my shape
In the shadows of his love
Blue eyes adore me
In the waking of a moment
‘Til I find myself alone
Face down on the floor
Upon his eyes I fall
Lustful and dangerous
He takes me down from my pedestal
Teaches me how to give it all
Trading my freedom for his call
His call

Nothing's For Keeps
05:18
|
|
||
|
Was it the world that you gave to me
Was it love, or a lesson for me
When the table’s turning
And the fire’s still burning
Would you come out
From underneath
What was the last thing you said to me
Nothing’s for keeps
Just figured out
What that meant to me
When the table's turning
And the fire keeps burning inside
Would you lay me down
And look in my eyes
And even though the writing’s on the wall
We could rise until we fall
Never mind the ties we’ll cut them all
Even though we stand to gain nothing at all
And even though the writings on the wall
We could rise until we fall
Never mind the ties we’ll cut them all
Even though we stand to gain nothing at all
Was it the way that you savored me
Every last piece
We found our souls
Safely under the sheets
When the table’s turning
‘Cos my heart keeps yearning for you
Is it too late
Should we admit defeat
And nothing’s for keeps
No, no nothing’s for keeps
Nothing at all
We could rise
We could rise
‘Til we fall

Give view my god
Give view the light I’m begging
I’ll give you my god, into the light
I’m getting nowhere
I’ll give you my prayer
I pray for you in the morning light
I gave you my soul
Gave you my life
I’m getting nowhere
Give view my prayer
Our demons we’ll leave them undenied
The truth could be holy under light
I’m getting nowhere
Give view my prayer
When I look back at you I fall
Sick and tired of your call
I’ll give you my prayer
And demons we’ll leave them undenied yeah
The truth could be holy under light
I’m getting nowhere
Give view my prayer
God damn ha la le
Getting me down
And I guess I believed
Didn’t walk on
Now I guess I will leave
Dead and your gone
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Give view my god,
give view the light
I'll give you my god
Into the light
I'll give you my prayer

I think the description here..'a masterclass in soul music, touching elements of gospel, folk and rock'.. is quite accurate. I would also add that, hard as it is to pick a favourite, the one I selected, Scram, has a reggae feel to it. Izo FitzRoy, wow, what a rich, strong, powerful voice she has, I'm a massive fan. Can't wait to see what she puts out next.
