![]() The Rainwater LP (2010) [ larger cover art ] |
I will never forget your healing hands my love
I thought my heart had stopped
I swore I had given up
I will never forget your healing hands my love
You gave me daylight you gave me sunlight
Turn the tape recorder on
He just left Jackie O for Marilyn Monroe
We're all bought and sold
For tobacco, firearms and alcohol
What's a pocket full of gold
Without a woman that you could hold
Can't afford to be on the back burner no more
Now I got a lot of places to go
Cause the actions of a few
Have put a world in harms way
And history has proven
That they killed our leaders dead
And I don't know about your right and wrong
I got a muse
From the east to the west
All I know is if I never said it before
I'm going to say it with my last breath
I will never forget your healing hands my love
I thought my heart had stopped
I swore I had given up
I will never forget your healing hands my love
You gave me daylight you gave me sunlight
Find something you can sell
Set you on a trail
Have a ball and a belle
Buy a ticket out of Hell
Not as far as I could tell
Very Well
Bubba I'm a bust your tail
My uncle Clarence hit
The hammer with nail
Wash your hand before
You come to the meal
Cut out the light
Cause it comes with a bill
Cause the violence of a few
Have put a World in harms way
And history has proven that they
Killed our leaders dead
Well I don't know about your right and wrong
I got a muse from the east to the west
All I know is if I never said it before
I'm going to say it with my last breath
I will never forget your healing hands my love
I thought my heart had stopped
I swore I had given up
I will never forget your healing hands my love
You gave me daylight you gave me sunlight
I will never forget your healing hands my love
I thought my heart had stopped
I swore I had given up
I will never forget your healing hands my love
You gave me daylight you gave me twilight
Never forget...

| DD rabbi_phil (beach) | Posted: Apr 05, 2011 - 22:27 Man i like Clarence.I could definetly listen to more of this. Like the merging styles. Dig that little bit of reggae bounce. |

| icemang (Boston & DC, mostly) | Posted: Oct 06, 2010 - 14:59 Saw him solo down the 930 coupla months back, nice show, still workin it. |
| robco1 (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Sep 20, 2010 - 21:28 Met him a few times in Adams Morgan back in the '90s. Very cool cat. Closed a show at the Black Cat with a song called "Tyson:" "...Got a pipe called Tyson and its gonna knock you out!" Great to hear his music. Here's to Cope! |

| nerakdon (Colorado) | Posted: Jun 25, 2010 - 00:19 Had this as an earworm the other day. Nice to hear it again, as an antidote. :) I like it even better this time. |
| michaelgmitchell (Belleville, ON) | Posted: Jun 20, 2010 - 09:22 Saw him on the KCRW morning show recently. Interesting character. Earthy sound. New artist for me. Nice to see him here with Bill's mix. |

| ddehoyos (Houston/Pearland) | Posted: Apr 22, 2010 - 11:05 Just saw this group the other night on SXSW. It was raining pretty good while he was singing. Seemed appropriate for song. Weird how his lips don't really move while he sings. I like them. |

| ugly (Compton, CA) | Posted: Mar 31, 2010 - 19:34 I have never heard of him but I put him on my shopping list after listening to this. This really makes me feel good. |
| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Mar 29, 2010 - 13:36 I generally like him, but this is boooring! |
| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: Mar 27, 2010 - 18:04 Nice recent interview on the World Cafe radio show with Clarence Greenwood here. |
| Shouc (Victoria) | Posted: Mar 10, 2010 - 09:45 Uhh wow, this is one of the most blatant rip-offs I've heard. Listen to Ben Harper's "Excuse Me Mister" same chords for verse and for lyrics, even very similar phrasing. |

I'd take the opportunity to see him in action again anytime. I didn't know he had a new release out, thanks Bill. |

| Geecheeboy (under a crescent moon and palmetto tree) | Posted: Mar 02, 2010 - 09:31 I uploaded Brother Lee to the LRC a couple years ago and was blocked at the net. |

Any linguists out there able to translate this into humanspeak of some flavor? Thanks for the Citizen Cope exposure, Bill. Overzealous novelty production noted, but there's a lot of soul and heart to Mr. Greenwood. How about adding "Brother Lee" to feature the great storytelling ability of this artist? |

| crockydile (Outer Spiral Arm, Milky Way) | Posted: Feb 11, 2010 - 08:17 Sounds like this guy is seriously medicated. No wonder he likes healing hands. |
