1. don’t let me go, don’t make me cry
my heart is frozen, my heart is wild
‘cause you will go and leave my side
but I will love you till the day I die
you know the roots of the tree
they run down deep
i lay my body down upon your feet
the branches high they soar above
‘cause they are rooted deep in love
chorus: and i know that i will love you till the day i die
and i know that this love is forever mine
and all i want is that you see
me let you be
and all i ask, is that you’re happy
being whatever you will be
2. see peoples faces as i walk along
with such contentment and such forlorn
and i am learning to see your form
in everyone that you adore
you know the world is an ocean that lies between
a lovers heart and a lovers dream
this love i’m in just cant be seen
but i will love you till eternity
chorus: and i know that i will love you till the day i die
…
3. when there’s magic, in the air
it whistles through, the winds born hair
the flowers dance, without a care
but where’s my love, the one so fair?
i see in the twinkling of your eyes
that i’ve been running all my life
i stop and look and see you smile
please hold me near till the day i die
please hold me close till the day i die
please hold me now till the day i die
please hold me deep till the day i die

as these tender tears they fall in skies
there is noone who can hear their cries
except for those sweet and gentle eyes
of you, my love divine
oh if I could only see your smile
i would be in heaven for a while
and then all those passing days would fly
to your arms, love divine
and then when I return home
and wonder ‘bout there all alone
with closed eyes, in bed I lie
in your arms, my love divine
oh beloved you know what to say
when one simple word would make my day
so I try to make a lovers play
with you, my love divine
don’t you make me wait one whole life time
when every second is a crime
that you keep me ‘part from you and thine
oh love, my love divine
and if I would only sing your songs
of a universal family to belong
that would surely make us strong
for you, my love divine
dancing in the night
rockin’ rollin’ tight
dancing in the night
with my love divine
dancing in the night

Ray of Divine Light
04:37
|
|||
|
I’ve seen a ray of divine light
and I wonder how it came
from far into my sight and i know that i’m going to stay
long time through the night
till we can see a brighter day
and everything will be alright
and we will find a better way
and in the silence of the night
i hear your breath in time with mine
and in the movements of the day
i see you merged into suns rays
and when I feel you far away
you come and pierce my heart again
and as you fly so high in skies
your blazing light ignites mine
chorus:
i want to merge into your light
i want to merge into the sun
i want to merge into the love
i want to merge into the one
i’ve seen a ray of divine light
and I wonder how it came
a radiant golden sight
with heart filled hope and lovers ways
long time through the night
so we can see a brighter day
and everything will be alright
and we will find a better way
and in the beauty of your form
the whole world gets transformed
and in the depth of your gaze
we find a way out from the maze
and when I hear your wondrous laughter
i am changed forever after
and even if you burn my eyes
i stand to behold you and I cry
i want to merge into your light
i want to merge into the sun
i want to merge into the love
i want to merge into the one

Grandpy's Kirtan
07:30

no i just cant go on, nor face another dawn
nor feel another thorn tear my heart
no i just cant see the light
when darkness is my sight
even when i turn to find you
please i beg you take me now
don’t wait another hour
for me to fall on down still further
here i am yet once again alone without a friend
a boat without a stone to anchor
if i sing to you one time, will you remember all the lines
and will you come and sit besides me
oh i fear you’ve left my side, abandoned to my pride
a sea with distant tides that wander
then i see your rounded eyes reminding me of mine
your smile the light upon your face radiating
your love was so complete you said you’d never leave
and don’t worry cause you’ll always be there
so I’ll sing to you again
cause music’s our best friend
and I can feel your arms around me
god I’ll try then to believe the and let you take the lead
cause there’s noone but you to follow
lord i beg you take me please
don’t leave me on my knees
don’t let me cry one moment longer
i’ll try then to believe this love within me
I wont worry, cause you’ll always be there
Baba Nam Kevalam - repeated
This kiirtan is dedicated to my loving grandfather Reginald Burton, a gentle man, whose love for music inspired me throughout my childhood. I can still see his radiant face, and remember how we would play and sing together, Grandpy on his mouth organ and I, sitting at his feet, with my ukulele.
It was written while living in the Canary Islands, a place I grew to love with its vast blue skies, golden sands, beautiful mountains and very special people. It was a time of voyaging through a dark night of the soul, yet arriving with a feeling of hope and joy.

My Love Divine

‘sometimes’ is a kiirtan song in the madhur or radha bhava style of devotion, where the love between the lover and the beloved, or Radha and Krishna is being described. It is written within the same style as the Giitagovinda (12th century), a Radha/Krishna kiirtan song, by Jayadeva. The Giitagovinda is renown in Bengal, India for its devotional cum erotic lyrics. The lover and beloved or Radha/ Krishna are the eternal lovers, both human and divine, being symbolic of our longing to merge into the Infinite.
lover: “sometimes, I have to press my fingers
hard against my lips
for to release the longing
of you to kiss you
but I can never press my flower
cause after it was touched by your lips
and kissed so deep
it didn’t belong to me anymore
It belonged to you
It belonged at your feet
if i was to give it to another
I’d have to ask the owner
If s/he was free in spirit
s/he just might say yes
depends on what s/he considers best
her own blue heart or another’s blue face
pink petalled lotus blossom flower
it belongs at your feet
after it was touched by your lips and kissed so deep
it belonged at your feet”

Oh my Beloved
04:39
|
|||
|
‘oh beloved’ and ‘come beloved’ are kiirtan songs also in madhur or radha bhava , an expression of the love between the lover and the beloved, or Radha and Krishna. The lover and beloved represent the relationship of one to the divine, being of the deepest love that transcends the physical, becoming transformed into the spiritual.
lover:
“oh my beloved
after kissing me deeply
mount me”
beloved:
“i will give you my all
your smile is my reward
i will give you my love
what need is there of anymore?
with these small lovers attempts
to send one ripple of joy
to your golden lotus
and when you’ve had your toy
my gentle lips upon your chest
cool beneath the passion beneath
throw me down
pin my arms
beneath your palms
kiss them hard
brave the storm
thrust your magnificent mountain
into this abyss
with earthquake pulsations
drown me in your avalanche of bliss
of happiness”

Come Beloved

lover: “come beloved make love to me, so close
let not even a particle of sand can come between us
come beloved make love to me so long
let not even a mighty mountain be so strong,
nor even time can show her face
only loves hand in grace
so dont you worry, don’t worry beloved
dont worry about anything
the world was made for this
the universe was created only for this..
come beloved, come beloved
come beloved, come hold me so close
let not even a particle of sand can come between us
come beloved come hold me so deep
that not even the oceans call could be so sweet
locked in eternal embrace
our minds, body laced
oh beloved, beloved, beloved
don’t you worry about anything
the world was made just for this
the universe was made for your bliss
and if you should come to tears
my being wet with emotion
would wipe away all your fears
wrapped in devotion
if you should shout in release
my mind would explode
into a million fragments of bliss
of happiness, of happiness
come beloved come beloved
come hold me so close
let not even article of sand come between us
come beloved come hold me so long
let not even a mighty mountain be so strong
nor time show her face, only loves hand in grace”

thankyou lord for everything that you gave
thankyou lord for all the beauty and the pain
if i never live to see another day
there is one thing i must say
the greatest treasure that i found
was the jewel in your crown
the greatest gift was your grace
and that i could see you r face
the greatest love i’ve ever known
was when you gave me your own
the brightest jewel in my life
was when you opened up my sight
so thankyou lord
for every moment every day
thankyou lord for giving moonlight from suns rays
and there is one thing that i really must say
while on this bed of truth i lay
the deepest truth i understand
is the touch of your hand
the sweetest dreams i had of you
always you made come true
when i gazed upon your form
my whole world was transformed
and when I sang your perfect name
the bliss it came it came it came
just how it came to be that I was with you
is pure mystery and what I came to do
my whole life from beginning to end
was fulfilled in your presence
forever am I in love with you
words cannot express my gratitude
so thankyou lord, thankyou lord..
