I guess I’ll have to go without You think that you’ll spend a lifetime… but then that life ends Brace for the landing, find I’m still standing here, my dear Partly with hope and with fear that I’ll run into you somewhere Where are you now? I guess I made it somehow Where are you now? I guess I’ll never know So let’s leave, let’s lie Let’s hope to find some way to live Let’s wait, let’s fight To find more we can give Let’s sleep, let’s dream Make it seem like it’s alright Let’s toss, let’s turn Let’s crash… burn tonight Where are you now? I hope you’ve let go of your doubt Where are you now? I guess I’ll never know So let’s leave, let’s lie Let’s hope to find some way to live Let’s wait, let’s fight To find more we can give Let’s make mistakes Regret all we’ve done Let’s lose, let’s fall Pretend that we’ve won Make me no promises, I’ll never hold you to this

Hair of Brown, Eyes of Grey (Demo) Track number: 9 Year: 2010 Album: The Prophet Genre: Alternative

Words and music by Jay Africa. In 2010, I participated in February Album Writing Month (FAWM.org), a site that challenges musicians to write 14 songs in 28 days. For the challenge, I decided to write a concept album about a boy who forsees his friends' and family's deaths. This track is one of the resulting songs. The 28 day time frame usually broke down to writing a song on one day, then recording the following day (using Audacity). - Listen to more tracks by The MOODS at www.themoods.net - Listen to more tracks by Jay at www.wix.com/transplantasian/jayafrica ------------------------------------- LYRICS: Days were long and nights unending All my hours spent winding, wending At the mercy of my dreams Nine to five, I somehow managed 'Midst a life rev'lation-ravaged When the day came unto me That her face I'd finally see Hair of brown, eyes of grey Skin of white, unlike me The factory floor was not the most romantic place But our eyes would constantly seek each other's face Knowing the doom that would befall her Perhaps I should never have said a word But the steady march of undeniable fate spurred me on Hair of brown, eyes of grey Skin of white, unlike me

When liver, brain and heart, These sovereign thrones, are all supplied, and fill'd Her sweet perfections with one self king! Away before me to sweet beds of flowers: Love-thoughts lie rich when canopied with bowers. Away before me to sweet beds of flowers: Love-thoughts lie rich when canopied with bowers.
