I wake up When you fall asleep I see the world While you count sheep Oh baby, it’s nomadic love. It’s raining by me, And you’re in a drought You’re keeping it in But I’m letting it out Oh baby, it’s nomadic love now. Losing things is just a part of life, So I guess I’ll be all right When he’s gone. I could sing you a beautiful song, But I’m a child for just so long I’ve got to move on now. Cuz’ my head is chillin’ in the clouds And I don’t plan on ever coming down I’ve been serious, for much too long And if you can’t laugh with me Oh baby, don’t you bother come along I’ll be your friend, Not your disguise. I’ll play along Laugh at your lies Oh baby, it’s nomadic love Happy birthdays Stuck on my wall I’ll stare at my phone Reject all your calls Oh baby, it’s nomadic love I don’t wanna cry at night I shed my tears in the light Where they’re free for all I’ll try to carry you along ‘Cuz you’re my favourite song To where we’re free from home now My head is chillin’ in the clouds And I don’t plan on ever coming down I’ve been serious, for much too long And if you can’t laugh with me Oh baby, don’t you bother come along My head is chillin’ in the clouds And I don’t plan on ever coming down I’ve been serious, for much too long And if you can’t laugh with me Oh baby, don’t you bother come along music & Lyrics : Eva Perrin Fontana

Cuppa Tea 04:05
My little angel My reflection on a blank TV My little angel Made in god’s image I’m sorry if the world just gets me down And as much as I try to I just can’t escape this frown. Oh, but you’re the one who gets me Shares the same energy It’s funny how love works. No other place I could be Far but you’re here with me, They say love should hurt But you’re like a Warm cuppa tea on a Sunday morning A sleep in while the rain is falling Like a good book that you can’t put down I put you in my backpack and carry you around Like a old pair of faded jeans I fell in love with your touch on my skin I can’t help it, If your love sets me free. You give me something, Oh mystical, spiritual, a miracle, original, and it’s unconditional. Something, Enlighten me, my frequency, you easily, come peacefully and take every piece of me. I don’t fall in love, I stand in it. And thank god above, For every minute. You’re like a Warm cuppa tea on a Sunday morning A sleep in while the rain is falling Like a good book that you can’t put down I put you in my backpack and carry you around Like a old pair of faded jeans I fell in love with your touch on my skin I can’t help it, If your love sets me free. I had a Warm cuppa tea on a Sunday morning After sleeping in while the rain was falling Read a good book I couldn’t put down I put you in my backpack and carry you around Like a old pair of faded jeans I fell in love with your touch on my skin I can’t help it, If your love set me free.

Just when I was tryna fix thing I seem to burst at the seams And I swear that it’s not what it seems I just lose myself constantly. It’s the fall of the great The one who always seemed so great She’d never slip and make a mistake She was so sure she knew her fate I’ve been Strong for too long And now Mama said that she want me gone I’m too strong Strong for too long And now Mama said she want me out the home I’m too strong It’s my fault I messed up, I put you through hell I’m not enough Singing, I’m the failure But you didn’t need me to tell you The dumb, the reckless, the bad The one you wish you’d never even had And I know I’m always mad at dad But does it make it okay for me to be sad? I’ve been Strong for too long And now Mama said that she want me gone I’m too strong Strong for too long And now Mama said she want me out the home I’m too strong While everyone’s walking around And they found their way to make their parents proud I just hang my head to the ground. Never worth that much to them They could never raise the perfect children Well, child cuz’ I cant live up to you either The reason that my standards are way off of the meter In a family of finance can’t pretend that I am fine Success, love and smarts No place for forbidden arts You say “why do it for me?” You’re right I swear that I don’t do it from spite But can’t pretend that it’s all right If all we ever do is fight Black sheep of the family Goes by the name of That Is Me And, I swear that this is it Cuz’ I can’t take just one more hit To the face and knock me down But I fall without a sound Sorry, I let you down Sorry, I joke around And I know that you think that it’s wrong But you see I’ve been strong For way too long Strong for too long And now Mama said that she want me gone I’m too strong Strong for too long And now Mama said she want me out the home I’m too strong Strong for too long Music & Lyrics : Eva Perrin Fontana

I got big dreams But I don’t get paid So I stayed in bed Until half past eight And I know, Oh I know it’s all good About school, I ain’t got a clue So I was hoping to get by On just being cool And now I’m hoping, I’m wishing, Oh how I’m praying, It’s all good. Won’t somebody make me A millionaire You would throw all of my problems Into the air But then a million little dollars would never be enough So keep your funny little money Chu, it’s all good. Me and my man We’re doing fine We celebrated New Year’s With a glass of wine And though we’re far We both know that We’re good My best friend She ain’t so lucky, It’s like her man is a bee But he ain’t making any honey So I give her some advice Oh, girl, It’s all good Won’t somebody make me A millionaire You would throw all of my problems Into the air But then a million little dollars would never be enough So keep your funny little money Chu, it’s all good. And if I hand my work in late, Change up the due date, Put a smile across my face And say it’s good If you ever see me cry, Wipe the tears from my eyes, My head up in the sky, It’s all good. And if I wanna sing my songs, All day long, With my face in the sun It’s all good. It’s all good Music & Lyrics : Eva Perrin Fontana

Time and things will remain the same But people will change up in many ways So just stay real, just stay the same Cuz people will try and make you fall again Life is full up of material things Too many of them I’m owning I’m repenting Joining in, To your, Rastafari Way, Trodding King’s high way, On and on till glory Rastafari Way Na na na na, na I know people might say a thing Because I ain’t got locks and I wear white skin But I see the truth in their teaching So how can I follow in false preaching? I don’t claim to religion But I see a lesson that’s worth learning I don’t know a thing, Nothing but love. And then the storm it came and the water became rough The people came and the people showed me love. The storm it came and the water become rough. The people came and the people showed me love They call that, Rastafari Way, Trodding King’s high way, On and on till glory Rastafari Way Na na na na, na To make a change globally, You start out slowly locally, To change up the order socially Because nobody’s better than nobody We spread our message vocally To kill sufferation totally From high peaks to low valleys. Before you call me a revolutionary Just enjoy yourself loosen up on your leash Not everything you need you learn in college The greatest lesson is the one that you live So before you shoot me down Just try to hear me out The highest king don’t wear no crown Dre Island said Rastafari Way, Trodding King’s high way, On and on till glory Rastafari Way Na na na na, na Rastafari Way, Trodding King’s high way, On and on till glory Rastafari Way Na na na na, na Music & Lyrics : Dre Island and Eva Perrin Fontana

Just cuz it’s things are going wrong for you Don’t you take it out on me Just cuz it’s all falling down around you Don’t you take it out on me Cuz I know it means nothing to you But you hurt me When you called my treasure noting Yea you hurt me Just cuz things are hard for you Don’t me they’re not for me Just cuz it’s not working out for you Don’t mean it is for me I changed for you Then you hurt me You your’re being a destroyer You’re not happy You’re not happy Maybe this is revenge Maybe this is what being apart really means Maybe we’re not friends Could this be where infinity ends? Maybe I’m too harsh Maybe I’m not the one with the broken heart Maybe we’re just tired We’re both reasonable people, With open hearts, We’re both miserable people, We’re taking it too far. And I don’t know how much of this is true My words are deeper than I mean to I’m not really mad at you, Just hurt. Then when I get over it I’ll control my temperament We can make the best of it And talk Cuz I guess love you And I’m sorry I worry for you You’re not happy You’re not happy Maybe this is revenge Maybe this is what being apart really means Maybe we’re not friends Could this be where infinity ends? Maybe I’m too harsh Maybe I’m not the one with the broken heart Maybe we’re just tired Maybe this is revenge Maybe this is revenge Maybe this is revenge Maybe this is the end Music & Lyrics : Eva Perrin Fontana
