Baby
You came and hurricaned me
That Harvey, Irma combinatrix
More than dresses, shared bathrooms
Wyling white men on public stages
Your operations so seamless
Thinking about, where you at
I know I should be sleeping boy
My confidence is creeping boy
Slide my fingers through your hair
Bite my lip at you and stare
My pretty boo,
Its baby true
Broken heart I forgot to forget about
[chorus]
Baby boy you
Got me feeling
In a fighting mood and I’ll pay you for it
I wanna fly tonight but my head is torn
There a soft midnight wakes a sleepy child
Have I not paid it forward, have I not paid it forward ?
My body, pure, have I not paid it forward
My heart, she beats, did I not lay her on you ?
The son you keep, did I not make him for you
Have I not paid it forward, have I not paid it forward
The man you are, did I not build him with you
On solid ground, did I not raise and kiss you ?
The sleepy tide wakes and takes it with you
It stops for no one, yet I forgive you
But if I weep tonight then Ima fucking kill you
If I weep tonight then Ima fucking kill you
If I weep tonight then Ima fucking kill you
[chorus]

Even at 80 years old, Pharoah Sanders played his tenor sax with the conviction of a gospel preacher. Every second of this album is arrestingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, this is essential listening for anyone who considers themselves a fan of music. 3sidesinasquare
