Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Loom of the Land Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • It was the dirty end of winter
  • Along the loom of the land
  • When I walked with sweet Sally
  • Hand upon hand
  • And the wind it bit bitter
  • For a boy of no means
  • With no shoes on his feet
  • And a knife in his jeans
  • Along the loom of the land
  • The mission bells peeled
  • From the tower at Saint Mary's
  • Down to Reprobate Fields
  • And I saw that the world
  • Was all blessed and bright
  • And Sally breathed softly
  • In the majestic night
  • O' baby please don't cry
  • And try to keep
  • Your little head upon my shoulder
  • Now go to sleep
  • The elms and the popiars
  • Were turning their backs
  • Past the rumbling station
  • We followed the tracks
  • We found an untrodden path
  • And followed it down
  • The moon in the sky
  • Like a dislodged crown
  • My hands they burned
  • In the folds of her coat
  • Breathing milky white air
  • From deep in her throat
  • O' baby please don't cry
  • And try to keep
  • Your little head upon my shoulder
  • Now go to sleep
  • I told Sally in whispers
  • I'll never bring you harm
  • Her breast it was small
  • And warm in my palm
  • I told her the moon
  • Was a magical thing
  • That it shone gold in the winter
  • And silver in the spring
  • And we walked and walked
  • Across the endless sands
  • Just me and my Sally
  • Along the loom of the land
  • O' baby please don't cry
  • And try to keep
  • Your little head upon my shoulder
  • Now go to sleep
