SWEET SUGAR SUNDAY
© Nitanee Paris & Dr. Jean-Pierre Williams 

Sweet bread baking in the iron stove
Kids out playing in the maple grove
Mama worked and waited for the day to end
So she could dance with him again

Strong arms working in the golden fields
Sun burned kisses by the old grist mill
And when the sun went down, he’d have his fill
And dance with her again

I learned about love by watching 'em move
I stole my rhythm from a down home groove

Sweet Sugar Sunday in mountain time
Let’s lose our cares in a bottle of wine
When the sun decides to ask the moon to shine
Will you dance with me again? 
Oh Sweet Sugar Sunday my love is true
No one moves me the way you do
When the stars are smiling with the fireflies
Will you dance with me again?

Mama and Daddy had the kind of rhyme
That kept them thinking ‘bout supper time
Anticipating that happy rush 
When their tired hands could touch

Every Sunday night in our backyard
Porch boards singin’ underneath the stars
A green grass stage by an orange moon
I watched ‘em dancing from my room

I learned about love by watching 'em move
I stole my rhythm from a down home groove

Sweet Sugar Sunday in mountain time
Let’s lose our cares in a bottle of wine
When the sun decides to ask the moon to shine
Will you dance with me again? 
Oh Sweet Sugar Sunday my love is true
No one moves me the way you do
When the stars are smiling with the fireflies
Will you dance with me again? 

And when my soul is underfed
And love is overdue
My heart is always led to where
I started and I grew

Sweet Sugar Sunday in mountain time
Let’s lose our cares in a bottle of wine
When the sun decides to ask the moon to shine
Will you dance with me again? 
Oh Sweet Sugar Sunday my love is true
No one moves me the way you do
When the stars are smiling with the fireflies
Will you dance with me again? 
When the stars are smiling with the fireflies
Will you dance with me again?
Will you dance with me again?

Sweet Sugar Sunday

WAITING OUT THE WANTING
© Nitanee Paris Lawson & Dr. Jean-Pierre Williams 

I sigh and hug my pillow
Watching shadows on the wall
And though I’ll never answer
I keep waiting for your call
I wonder if you feel it
And are you awake as well
Are you somewhere in the middle
Between a heaven and a hell

You’re all I ever think of
But I know it isn’t right
And sometimes goodbye
Can be a blessing in disguise
 
Waiting out the wanting
Tears and trying to forget
These memories are haunting
And my pillow’s getting wet
Living with the longing
'Cause I know it isn’t right
So I’m waiting out the wanting
In the middle of the night

I lie here on these cold sheets
With a fire in my soul
And my heart is torn in half
At the thought of being whole
Close my eyes and dream of you 
I'm holding you again 
I know I need to let you go
But I don’t know if I can

Waiting out the wanting
Tears and trying to forget
These memories are haunting
And my pillow’s getting wet
Living with the longing
'Cause I know it isn’t right
So I’m waiting out the wanting
In the middle of the night

Still if you came to me now
I know couldn’t turn away
Some mistakes are meant to happen
And some rules are made to break

Waiting out the wanting
Tears and trying to forget
These memories are haunting
And my pillow’s getting wet
Living with the longing
'Cause I know it isn’t right
So I’m waiting out the wanting
In the middle of the night

Waiting Out The Wanting

About the Song - This is another older song. I wrote it sometime between 2007 and 2010 with Jay Brunswick in Nashville. I recorded it in Nashville with my band, The Cumberland Collective, and included in on my Confluence album. I was asked to play it at a show in November 2015 and the lyrics hit me in a new way. Later, I added the lyrics in the final verse to bring the meaning around to the rest of the album. I recorded the guitar for this song in a 1,000 year old church in South East England. It sounded real nice in there... you can hear the birds chirping as the track ends.

About the Record - Pendulum Groove: A Revelation of the Heart is an album recorded, mixed and mastered using only my iPhone 6. This songs on this album chronicle my struggle to overcome the challenges of my marriage breaking down in October 2015. I've tried to include songs, both new and old, that resonate with the five stages of the human experience of processing grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
