Big Country - The Crossing Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • --------
  • Maps on the back of your hands
  • Point to the cross
  • Scratches on walls in a room
  • Draw out your loss
  • Your islands are conquered and you are returned
  • To the throne
  • Martyrs take penance and fill up the mattress
  • With stones
  • Chorus
  • Pull straws with holy men
  • Stain all the atlas pink
  • And let us find a beach
  • Where we can cross our hearts
  • Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
  • Wear out your welcome again
  • Stand in the silence of mountains and
  • Wear out your welcome again
  • Mornings hit hard with an uncontrollable light
  • Piercing the senses that click deep in the night
  • Crouched in a pillow of straw feet on the floor
  • Creeping a path to the mat that holds back the door
  • Chorus
  • Build up great railways that run through the horns of the moon
  • Hold up a city with cast-iron museum walls
  • Explain your machines to the boys feed them with tools
  • Bring out the skill in your skin polish your hair
  • Chorus
  • Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
  • Wear out your welcome again
  • Stand on the silence of mountains and
  • Take your rib down to the sea
  • Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
  • Wear out your welcome again
  • Stand on the silence of mountains and
  • Take your rib down to the sea
