Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear a hand stroke on a drum
Elegant boy, beautiful girl
Dancing for joy elegant whirl

Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night afro blue

Blue Monk - lyrics by Abbey Lincoln (1961)

Goin' alone, life is your own,
But sometimes the cost is dear.
Being complete, knowing defeat (проигрыш),
Keeping on from year to year.
It takes some doing.
Monkery's (монашество; бродяжничество) the blues you hear,

Down here below...
The winds of change are blowing
Through the weary night.
I prayed my soul will find me
Shining in the morning light,
Down here below.
Down here below,

For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We won't say "good night" until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it

For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like the ripples on a stream
So love me tonight - tomorrow was made for some

Love has gone away heaving a sign with no regrets
for yesterday heaving a side love said goodbye
so with sad and love, love walked away, a spirit child
love had to go, loves has to play, love went away, away from a place of fools in pain
with teardrops and heartaches all again
only a game of hatred and love
all thrown in together
of kiss or shove

Once upon a lovely time
Many million dreams ago
Once there was a man in love dear
Many million dreams ago

Once he thought he had a sweetheart
Then he broke the golden rule
Never take your love for granted

I think about the life I live
A figure made of clay
And think about the things I lost
The things I gave away

And when I'm in a certain mood
I search the house and look
One night I found these magic words
