COLTRANE, Chi

Go like Elijah

Someday my time to die will come

when that will be, I do not know

I only know that when I have to go

Yeah, when I go, I wanna go

Just let me go, oh, when I go

I wanna go, Lord, let me go

just let me go like Elijah when I go

I want to rise right up into the sky

and ride white horses with fiery eyes

Lord for my sins I apologize

just let me go, I wanna go

when my time comes for me to go

I wanna go like Elijah when I go

I don't want no tombstone above my head

and I don't want no pinebox for my bed

and I don't want anyone to say I'm dead Lord,

Yeah, when I go, I wanna go

You Were My Friend

You came in my home and took from me all that I had to give

I thought that we would be good friends for as long as we should live

I had some past experience with people just like you

But I never thought you were that kind, so what was I to do?

You were my friend, you were my friend

You were my friend, yes, you were my friend

You were my friend, you were my friend

How could you let me down?

You were my friend

How can you stand and lie to me and look me in the face?

I wish I knew what strange disease could make you act that way

All the things we did together

I've known you for so long

I always did believe in you

How could I be so wrong?

You were my friend, you were my friend

…..

I guess for the sake of all we had I should try to understand

But it just doesn't make much sense to me to trust in you again

I wish we could forget it all but I don't think that we can

Oh, why did this ever happen to us my best and dearest friend?

You were my friend, you were my friend

…..

Well, I guess that friendships all come to an end

Thunder & Lightning

Oooh, what a good thing I've got

Oh, it's such a good thing I've got

I don't think I can stand it

Thunder and lightning, oh yeah!

I tell you it's frightening, oooh!

It's thunder and lightning

And you're in control

I thought my life was complete

But look what you're doin' to me

Oh, you're makin' me crazy

Thunder and lightning, oh yeah!

…..

I don't know how to handle it

It's more than I would dare

I wouldn't try to run from it

It reaches everywhere

I'm feelin' dizzy and weak

You make me forget how to speak

I can feel it happening

It's thunder and lightning, oh yeah!
