***************JACKSON BROWNE*************


JAMAICA SAY YOU WILL

Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well 
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell 
Hiding from the children so they would not tell 
We would stay there till her sister rang the evening bell 

Jamaica (say you will) help me find 
(A way to fill) these empty hours 
(Say you will) come again tomorrow

The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas 
She would stare across the water from the trees 
Last time he was home he held her on his knees 
And said the next time they would sail away just where they pleased

Jamaica (say you will) help me find 
(A way to fill) these lifeless sails
(And stay until) my ships can find the sea

Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true 
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through 
Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew 
We had brought her things down to the bay, what could I do? 

Jamaica (say you will) help me find 
(A way to fill) these sails and we will 
(Sail until our waters have run dry)

********* DAVID CROSBY ***********

David Crosby with Becca Stevens (see Pop & Rock Musicians p. 10) and others:

“Wind on the Water”

Over the years you have been hunted
by the men who threw harpoons
And in the long run he will kill you
just to feed the pets we raise,
put the flowers in your vase
and make the lipstick for your face.
Over the years you swam the ocean
Following feelings of your own
Now you are washed up on the shoreline
I can see your body lie
It's a shame you have to die
to put the shadow on our eye
Maybe we'll go
Maybe we'll disappear
It's not that we don't know
It's just that we don't want to care.
Under the bridges
Over the foam
Wind on the water
Carry me home.
