Haiti Song

Hey mister, I heard a thunder down past the mountain view.
Hey mister, I heard a rolling wind. I dreamt a dream of a crying youth.
Hey madam, can you help me? My heart has just gone and shook.
I caught a glimpse of an angel, but she has faded beyond the brooke.

Hey mama, tell me if its true. Is there a demon which lurks down below?
What’s that, Ms. Dubois? You swear you saw above you, a lone weeping crow?
My friend Stevie, my God, you’ve started bleeding, is there someway I can help you?
Tears in his eyes, takes his last look at the sky.
Brother, it all ended too soon.

Please sweet Marlena, I’ve got a message you can send for me.
Tell my love I’m gonna see her, near the heart that we carved in the tree.
When she goes to face her open window, and through her hair she feels a breeze,
Help her remember that night we met last December, that night she first smiled at me. She set me free.

The sky’s turned grey, my mind begins to fade away as the rest of me has grown numb.
Cannot hear the cries around me, silence has encircled me, save for the banging of the final drum.
And through my own pain, despite the coming of the falling rain as I take my final breath;
Though the smoke, and beyond the mountains, even past the golden fountains, I catch a last glimpse of you and my soul lays rest

Please sweet Marlena, I’ve got a message you can send for me
Tell my love I’m gonna see her, near the heart that we carved in the tree.
When she goes to face her open window, and through her hair she feels a breeze,
Please help her remember that night we met last December, that night she first smiled at me. She set me free.
