SO YOU SAY (ESQUINAS)
Music by Djavan
Lyrics by Amanda McBroom
So you say
It's a feeling I'll get over someday
So you say
So you say
I should try
Just to let the flame inside me die
I should try
So you say
Against the wind
With my face turned to the empty side
Of loneliness
Midnight black and blue
So you say
That the world will keep on turning
So you say
So you say
Tell me why
All the stars have lost their mystery now
Tell me why
Tell me how
Where love has been
The taste of wine
Seems to linger on like distant perfume
And all of the memories
Carelessly left behind
Ghosts and lies
They haunt me wherever I go
So you say
That the pain of love will pass away
So you say
So you say
(Sax solo)
Before goodbye
I look for the fire behind your eyes
But they're cold as ice
I hear in your voice
The echo of love that's gone by
Now I cry
I'll love you for all of my life
So you say
It's a feeling I'll get over someday
So you say
So you say
SOUL
FOOD TO GO (SINA)
Music by Djavan
Lyrics by Doug Figer
My, my
Oh the feelin'
Of the sound
Precious and real and
Ooo that's nice
Whip up some steamin' jazz
The pot is on the stove
It's cookin'
Want some more
We always save some
Art nouveau
For special patrons
You look nice
Do you believe in jazz
Kansas City to Brazil
It even gets you hot in your home
Kansas City to Brazil
I say blow your top
Blow your own
Ooo ooo ah
This be-bop's too much
I know you know

Cool and hot
Just for you
The pleasures of the soul

And check it out
Ooo c'est si bon

Cool and hot
Just for you
The pleasures of the soul
Come on
Come in
And check it out
Soul food to go

AGUA
(AGUA)
Music by Djavan
Lyrics by Brock Walsh
Here beneath the moon tonight
So pale and fragile
Is that shining in the distance I see
Real or just imagined?
Imagined mirages of agua
Somewhere in these sands that spread before me
There lies a silent spring for me
Que agua
The earth without the heavens' rain
Becomes powder and gravel
Life without a spirit whole
In time becomes a thread unraveled
Or traveled in the circles of agua
And lately there grows a thirst inside me
With only hunger to guide me
Que agua
Agua ever deep
Agua ever wide
Agua ever still and silent
Flowing into sleep finding what we hide
Dreaming what cannot be sighted
Agua ever warm
Current ever strong
Agua ever, ever lasting
Gathering in storm
Pouring out in song
Washing over understanding
Agua
Agua deep
Agua so wide
Carry me to your shore
Carry me agua
Agua
Agua deep
Agua so wide
Carry me to your shore
Carry me agua
(Repeat)
