lyrics

Play That Song of Love and Rage (BMI)
Music and lyrics by Alexa Weber Morales © 2004

Under a sky of indigo and rose
Wandering with a caravan
Thumbing a ride just me and my clothes
I’ve found my way and lost my man

Where is this freedom I seek
How do I get to that place
Sister can you join in harmony
I’m looking for that rapturous face

I stopped there and stayed for awhile
Swimming by the cypress knees
Louisiana oddities

Salty sweet and groovin’
Sweat soaking down the stage
Stompin’ feet it’s heaven
Play that song of love and rage

Sumptuous tones, a drumming in my bones
The music is my heartbeat
There is no gift that’s given in vain
This is my voice, that was my pain

I stopped there and stayed for awhile
Swimming by the cypress knees
Louisiana oddities

Salty sweet and groovin’
Sweat soaking down the stage
Stompin’ feet it’s heaven
Play that song of love and rage
