Why Should I Cry For You?/ Jamaica Farewell/Be Still My Beating Heart
Under the dog-star sail Over the reefs of moonshine Under the skies of fall North-north-west, the stones of Faroe Under the Arctic fire Over the seas of silence Hauling on frozen ropes For all my days remaining Would north be true?
All colours bleed to red Asleep on the ocean's bed Drifting in empty seas For all my days remaining Would north be true? Why should I, why should I cry for you? Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling For all my days remaining
What would be true? Sometimes I see your face, The stars seem to lose their place Why must I think of you? Why must I? Why should I? Why should I cry for you? Why would you want me to? And what would it mean to say, 'I loved you in my fashion?' What would be true? Why should I, why should I cry? Why should I cry? Why should I cry for you?
Down the way, where the nights are gay, And the sun shines daily on the mountain top, I took a trip on a sailing ship, And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop.
Cos I'm sad to say, I'm on my way, Won't be back for many a day, My heart is down, my head is turning around, I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
I say Why should I cry for you? Why should I cry for you? Why should I cry for you? Why should I cry for you? Why should I cry for you? Why should I cry for you? Why should I cry for you? Why should I cry for you? Why should I cry for? say
Be still my beating heart It would be better to be cool It's not time to be open just yet A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart You must learn to stand your ground It's not healthy to run at this pace Blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know Tryin' to soothe the thoughts that plague me so
Sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion Stop before you start Be still my beating heart Be still my beating heart Be still my beating heart Be still my beating heart
