Reggae Calypso - Yellowman

His eyes are closed his face pale asleep

On the ground a newspaper reads

The blood has spilled again

And you just dream my yellowman

Yellowman

The angels burn a torch to keep us warm

His lungs are wide awake but he won’t breathe

He spits out the ocean and we dream

Like goldfish in a bowl

They think we’re free

Yellowman

You’re tying rocks to clouds to stay above the crowds

The angels burn a torch to keep us warm

The blood has spilled again

And you just dream

Yellowman

You never see the bloodstains on the battlefield

The angels burn a torch to keep us warm
