  • Brooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - Nechama
    Have you ever held a candle in your hand
    While peeking through a crevice in the sand
    bearing witness to a vision too compelling to withstand
    Nechama why'd you come back again
    Out driving in the country with a friend
    We watch you disappearing round the bend
    Momma cries into the mailbox
    Each letter you do not send
    Nechama why'd you come back again
    Still believe that while you're all alone
    You'd think to pick up the phone
    Where the road out meets the rider
    Do you save yourself for the right man
    Or end up with your back on the wrong bed
    Did you ever grab a lever as you ran
    Watched a sliding steel door exit opening
    And your memory of the vision
    A good place for you to land
    Nechama why'd you come back again

  • Brooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - Gaze
    I sat down to gaze at your painting I never got over
    These tears fill my belly I’m a traveller held at the border
    Shut in a room with these gifts I should never have bought her
    There’s a coffee stained dress and this crumb she just brushed off her shoulder
    I woke up this morning to see you asleep in my bedroom
    I’ve just made the same mistake you’ve seen me make over and over
    Can’t seem to shake this old feeling common sense says
    I oughta Been willing to wait twenty years I can't wait so much longer
    As a point of consolation she is waiting for you son
    Not immune to hesitation I don’t want to shoot no one
    I’ve had dreams the sky is turning towards the golden light of dawn
    Even as this shroud envelops and I’m plagued by mortal harm
    The enemy crafty and cunning has been inwardly revealed
    While I earn my bread by the sweat of my head she entices me to steal
    Took a tour and the street where I searched was well lit and abandoned
    You extended your hand to a man who had lost all his children
    Can no longer remember why some people just can’t be forgotten
    I just wanted to tell you you’re beautiful just like your daughter

  • Brooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - Pleasing
    So you’re sitting by yourself
    Have your heart up on a shelf
    Never beating ‘til you show some folks around
    Just as everything with breath
    Wish to live with no regret
    As it was before the common world knocked you down
    While pretending to be a brother
    Now before you get all sad
    Over something that you never had
    Take a look at what’s in front of you no longer
    Do you see a man that’s brave
    For at least the time he’s not afraid
    Of the heart that’s now been taken down
    And passed around to the blade they prepare for slaughter
    And his dreams are all he has
    Until you call me Hear me say
    I wish you’d call me
    Tell me that every thing’s OK
    Well hello there my old friend
    How’ve I been I didn’t know you cared
    I’ve been thinking about sowing some seeds this spring
    Just like everything you said
    These words they rattle round my head
    I’m still working on my masterpiece
    Just like Van Gogh and Charlie Parker
    And their dreams are all they had
    Why don’t you call me Hear me say
    Why don't you call me
    I can almost hear you say
    I never left you slipped away
    Just like water down the drain
    In a steady stream
    That now flows cold and slow
    I may not deserve the best
    But I cannot bear this test
    How can I serve you
    If you leave me so alone
    Why don’t you call me
    I’ll be pleasing you at home

  • Brooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - Subway Station
    On your own for the first time
    Holding court beside a stream
    They let you go up on the mountain
    Until you disappeared in green
    Forge of fire has given birth
    To a sword of golden twine
    Mirror sees me facing her
    Naked river flowing wine
    Somebody told me that freedom for you
    No longer held such gripping fascination
    Why don't you let your old fears slip away
    Meet me at the subway station
    This helpless day
    An empty palate on which I paint
    The scenes I see around you
    Through a mist of passing rain
    When time takes on the rhythm
    Of an open spinning cage
    Are you waiting for me Momma
    Like a bookmark on the page
    Where we'll read that freedom for you
    May once again hold thorough fascination
    Why don't you let your old fears slip away
    Meet me at the subway station
    Inspiration sister
    Brother drowning in the sea
    Find hidden shores beneath our feet
    To step on casually
    Time stretches on before me
    Sometimes rolling down the hill
    Whatever your impression
    I'll keep on rolling 'til
    You tell me that freedom is for you
    A pervasive spark of good old fascination
    Why don't you let your old fears slip away
    Meet me at the subway station

  • Brooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - The Trial
    Let's say everyone's looking at you
    Say everyone's doing what you want them to do
    I'll tell you a secret
    that's for her ears to hear it
    To sigh away
    And sigh away
    The Trial
    I've gone away a long time behind you
    I've tried to do what you want me to do
    Could not believe it
    That she knew our secret
    To sigh away
    And sigh away
    The Trial
    I want nothing from you
    Nothing you wanted me not to want too
    I need all of you touched by the wind
    What your skin hides within
    It's your skin that is scaring me
    That is tearing me
    Out of my own
    I've had lifetimes to satisfy you
    Until even the nighttime is satisfied too
    It's just for a moment
    that our two hands can hold it
    To sigh away
    And sigh away
    The Trial
    you know when times get tough
    What you got ain't enough
    hard times bringing you down
    a little sigh'll bring you to higher ground

  • Brooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - Kedeira
    I met a man as he was breathing
    All across the barren land
    He showed me how to be fruitful
    As I take my final stand
    Oh, I don't plan to leave you here
    But I will do as I must
    Step on a New York highway
    Past fields of fire and rust
    I've seen Kedeira in a dream
    I've seen Kedeira in a dream
    Trading skin like water
    Turns bones grey unlike before
    Yes, I like the lifestyle you furnished
    As you showed me the exit door
    This war leaves no survivors
    Who know what they're surviving for
    Night carried away by the calling
    Back to you I'm drawn even more
    I've seen Kedeira in a dream
    I've seen Kedeira in a dream
    When I come up on my fortune
    I'll remember
    You've been kind to me
    While I sit in the corner
    Recovering from a bender
    I still remember what I'm meant to be
    Folded in forbidden smiles
    An expedition cast aside
    Your love affair with this soldier
    Got lost in the timeless a while
    Dark precious hours
    Are eating my flesh away
    I tossed my prayer into the wind
    I'll win you back someday
    I've seen Kedeira in a dream
    I've seen Kedeira in a dream

  • Brooklyn Jazz Warriors - Kedeira - Loving by the Moonlight
    Work by day back by night
    Before dawn to treat you right
    Oh, Loving by Moonlight
    Got a hunger you fulfill
    Left my keys on your windowsill
    Oh, while the Moon shines clear and still
    Moonlit trees Moonlight songs
    I feel the need to linger on
    Take my heart don’t give it back
    Until you get your fill
    Gaze at me with both eyes shut
    Feel your body waking up
    Oh, pour your Moonlight in my cup
    Treacherous seas we’ll shake it off
    Bitter winds blown by frost
    Oh, is the Moon alone enough
    Moonlit trees Moonlight songs
    Still the need to linger on
    Taking hearts won’t pull back
    This emptiness you feel
    Sudden breeze reaches us
    Cools the fever feeling lost
    Oh, used the Moonlight at what cost
    Through gazing eyes connection broken
    We take our leave no kind words spoken
    Oh, while the Moon shines on the ocean
    Moonlit trees Moonlight songs
    There is no need to linger on
    You took my heart won’t give it back
    Until you get your fill
    Work by day back by night
    Before dawn to treat you right
    Oh, Loving by Moonlight
