Since we are talking about that album. Whaddya reckon about this?
It always intrigued me because I didn't understand it.

I And I
Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams
In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams.I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.Think I'll go out and go for a walk
Not much happening here, nothing ever does
Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want me to talk
I got nothing to say, 'specially about whatever was.I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race
It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.Outside of two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight
They're waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track
The world could come to an end tonight, but that's all right
She could still be there sleeping when I get back.I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.
Noontime, and I'm still pushing myself along the road, the darkest part
Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put
Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart
I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot.I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man sees my face

I don't know.
Could it be that he knows that it is only "I and I" in the end? I do not know..:-)
Joan Armatrading has a neat song called "Me, Myself and I".....much lighter than this but still touching and true for moi. Do you know her?
She is great! She is from New Guinea...

Of course there is this, which may or may not be relevant.

>I and I is a complex term, referring to the oneness of Jah (God) and every human. Rastafarian scholar E. E. Cashmore: "I and I is an expression to totalize the concept of oneness, the oneness of two persons. So God is within all of us and we're one people in fact. The bond of Ras Tafari is the bond of God, of man. But man itself needs a head and the head of man is His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I (always pronounced as the letter 'I,' never as the number one or 'the first') of Ethiopia." The term is often used in place of "you and I" or "we" among Rastafarians, implying that both persons are united under the love of Jah.
