Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
...
I could take the Harlem night
and wrap around you,
Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue busses,
...
Love
Is a ripe plum
Growing on a purple tree.
Taste it once
...
Way Down South in Dixie
(Break the heart of me)
They hung my black young lover
...
