LYRICS
Dont Want To Know
And I dont want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I dont want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.
Sometimes it gets so hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the cold is glistening
Making sure it keeps me down to size.
And I dont want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I dont want to know one thing about evil
Only want to know about love.
Im waiting for the planes to tumble
Waiting for the towns to fall
Im waiting for the cities to crumble
Waiting till I see you crawl.
Yes its getting hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
Cause all around that gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotized.
And I dont want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I dont want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.
I dont want to know anything about evil
Only want to know about love
I dont want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.
------
My Creator
I believe I heard a voice this morning
I believe I heard a voice
I do believe I heard a voice, heard a voice this morning
I believe I heard it twice
Always love, always love
We will sleep forever one day
Dont cheat because Ill take all of your heart away.
Thats what my creator told me: one day
Thats what he said to me one day.
Cause you fight till you fight no more
Be righteous
Be black or white as you please
But never bend the knee
Thats what my creator taught me.
My creator always said
Fight till you fight no more
Be righteous
Fight till you fight no more
Be right till youre right no more
Try to till you try to no more
Cry till theres no more crying
Live till you live no more
Live till there is no more dying
Be sweet till you can be sweet no more
Be sweet to your dying day.
Thats what my creator told me today
Thats what my creator taught me today.
Be still, be still inside your heart
Try forever, just try
Be sweet forever
Forget me never
You know the Lord is true
Forget me never
Try to be truthful
I didnt give you wings cause you aint in heaven
You aint in heaven yet
You are not in heaven yet
He said
Come and join me in a sweet celebration
Come and join me, come while you can
Come and join me in a sweet, sweet vision
Come and join me, come if you can.
Thats what he said.

Yep,, mine too. A big influence on his fellow musician/song writers of the day.

Remember Fleetwood Mac's "Over My Head? Well, check out John Martyn's "Over the Hill" from about 3 years earlier.
